Commercial Metal Siding & Cladding
Metal siding, panel and cladding systems for commercial and industrial buildings. A tight, weather-tight envelope that looks sharp and holds up.
Custom Metal Fabrication
Flashing, trims, panels and custom metalwork fabricated to the exact dimensions your building needs. We make the metal fit, not the other way around.
Architectural & Structural Metal
Architectural feature metal and structural steel elements that are part of the building, not just bolted on. Engineered, built and installed to spec.

Work that meets institutional standards: to drawings, to spec, to schedule, with the documentation and discipline government and institutional jobs demand.

Metal roofing, flashing and detail work that keeps the envelope sealed at every edge, valley and penetration. The details that decide whether a roof lasts.

Commercial and institutional exteriors are won and lost on detail, documentation and schedule. That is the work we are built for.
01 · BUILT TO SPEC
We work to your drawings
Give us the drawings and the spec, and that is what gets built. No substituting a stock profile to save a step, no "close enough." For commercial and institutional work, the spec is the job.
02 · ON SCHEDULE
Dates we actually keep
We give you a realistic schedule and we build to it. On commercial sites, every trade is waiting on the one before it. We do not become the hold-up on your project.
03 · INSTITUTIONAL STANDARD
Institutional standards, by default
Government and institutional projects come with documentation, standards and accountability. We work that way on every job, which is why the demanding ones are a fit for us.
04 · IN-HOUSE METAL
Fabrication under our own roof
Custom flashing, trims and panels are fabricated in-house to fit your building, not ordered from a catalogue and forced into place. That control is how the envelope ends up tight.
The work
A finished envelope, edge to edge.
From the structural metal that frames it to the cladding that wraps it and the flashing that seals it, we handle the commercial exterior as one system, not a pile of separate trades.
Send us the drawings or the scope and we will tell you straight what it takes, what it costs, and how long it runs.
The standard
On spec.
On time. On every job.
That is not a slogan, it is how commercial and institutional work has to run. The spec is the contract, the schedule is the constraint, and the details decide whether the envelope holds. We treat all three as the job.
To drawing
Built to spec
What is on the drawings is what gets built. Dimensions, profiles, details, all to the documented spec.
On time
Schedule kept
A realistic schedule, then the work that keeps it. We do not become the bottleneck for the trades behind us.
To standard
Documented
Government and institutional discipline applied as standard: the records, standards and accountability that work demands.
In-house
Custom metal
Flashing and trims fabricated to fit your building, so the envelope seals at every edge and penetration.
Simple. Send the scope, get a straight quote.
No runaround. Drawings or a description is enough to get a real number and a realistic schedule back.
STEP 01

Tell us what the project is: cladding, fabrication, structural metal, roofing, or the full envelope. Attach drawings if you have them, or just describe it.
STEP 02
Get a quote and a schedule
We review the scope and come back with a straight quote and a realistic timeline. No vague ranges that triple later.
STEP 03
We build it to spec
We fabricate and install to your drawings, on the schedule we set, and keep you posted as the work runs.

Common questions
Straight answers, no runaround.
What kind of work does Capital Exteriors do?
Commercial exterior envelopes. That covers metal siding and cladding, custom metal fabrication, architectural and structural metal, commercial roofing and flashing, and government and institutional projects. If it goes on the outside of a commercial or institutional building, we build it to spec.
Do you work on government and institutional buildings?
Yes. We work to drawings, to spec, and to schedule, the way institutional and government projects require. Send us the drawings or the scope and we will quote it.
Can you fabricate custom flashing and metal to fit my building?
Yes. We fabricate custom flashing, trims, panels and metalwork to the dimensions your building needs, rather than forcing a stock profile to fit. Send measurements or drawings and we will quote the fabrication.
What areas do you serve?
Ottawa and the surrounding region, including Gatineau, Kanata, Orleans, Nepean, Stittsville and out toward Kemptville. If your site is in the National Capital Region, ask us.
How much does a commercial exterior job cost?
It depends on the scope, the materials, the building size and the spec. We do not publish fixed pricing because no two commercial envelopes are the same. Send the drawings or describe the scope and we will give you a straight quote.
How do I get a quote?
Call us, or fill out the quote form on this site with your scope and any drawings. We will review it and come back with a quote and a realistic schedule.
