For roofing contractors and installers
Onsite rollforming for standing seam
We bring the rollformer to your jobsite and run every panel to exact length, in one piece. Your crew catches, stacks and installs.
- One-piece panels, eave to ridge. No end laps to leak.
- No freight damage, no crating, no waiting on a truck.
- Shop-bent trim arrives on the same truck as the machine.

Why run panels onsite
Onsite rollforming takes the trucking limit out of standing seam. The panel is as long as the roof needs, and it never rides a flatbed.
Long panels, no splices
Shipping caps how long a factory panel can be. Onsite, long runs come off the machine in one piece, so there are no end laps to seal and warranty.
Field-true lengths
Framing is never quite what the plans say. Measure the roof, call the length, and we cut to it. A short or miscut panel gets rerun on the spot.
No freight damage
No crates, no forklift rash, no claim to file while the roof sits open. Panels go from the machine to your stack.
Your schedule
Panels get made the day you are ready for them, so nothing sits on the ground for weeks collecting dents and footprints.
How onsite rollforming works
Four steps from panel schedule to stacked panels.
Send the roof
Plans, a panel schedule or a rough takeoff. Squares, longest run, profile, color and the jobsite zip get us started.
Get one number
We quote coil, rollforming and trim together, with travel spelled out. No pricing games.
We roll in
Truck, machine, coil and operator arrive on the day you pick. Your trim comes with us, already bent.
You install
We run, you catch and stack. Lengths get called from the roof, and extras are a button push away while we are there.
What we bring. What you provide.
We bring
- The rollformer and an operator who runs it every week
- Painted steel coil in the color and gauge on your quote
- Standing seam panels run to the lengths you call
- Trim bent to your cut list on our CNC folder, in matching coil
- Clips, fasteners and accessories if you want them on the same ticket
You provide
- Truck access and a level spot to set up
- A straight, clear run-out as long as your longest panel
- A crew to catch, carry and stack panels as they come off
- A panel schedule or lengths measured off the roof
- A workable day. High wind and long panels do not mix, so we reschedule for weather.

Onsite rollforming questions
Is there a minimum job size?
It depends on the drive. Close to our Cloquet and Spring Lake Park shops we run everyday roofs. The farther the truck travels, the bigger the job has to be to make sense. Send the squares and the zip and we will tell you straight.
How long can the panels be?
Onsite, the limit is your jobsite and how you plan to handle the panel, not the length of a trailer. Tell us your longest run and how it is getting to the roof, and we will plan the setup around it.
Do you install the roof?
No. Minuteman Metals forms and supplies. Your crew installs, and the customer stays yours.
Can you supply trim and accessories too?
Yes. Trim is bent in our shop from the same coil as your panels and rides out with the machine. Clips, fasteners, underlayment and sealant can go on the same order.
What happens if the weather turns?
On-site roll forming is weather dependent. Rain we can often work around; high wind we cannot, because a long panel is a sail. We watch the forecast with you and move the date if we need to.
What do you need to quote it?
Jobsite zip, approximate squares, the longest panel, the profile and color you want, and a target date. Plans or a panel schedule get you a firmer number faster.
Have a standing seam job coming up?
Send the roof and we will tell you whether onsite rollforming is the right call for it.
