Archibald Sheet Metal does top-quality work. The team is reliable, detail-oriented, and takes pride in every project. From custom fabrication to installation, everything is done right the first time. The new truck fleet looks clean and professional—just like their work. Highly recommend them for any sheet metal work in San Diego.

I hired Archibald sheet metal to put a metal roof on my house. They did an exceptional job! They were very efficient, and even did my patio cover. I would hire them again! This roof will probably last longer than my lifetime.

Not sure why your asking me to review. I called and spoke to someone who was supposed to ask someone who never called me, to call me. We never did any business. Purchased raw material went to Harbor Freight and purchased a Chinese break and broke my own material.

I am amazed by the work Archibald sheet metal does with their custom chimney shrouds and different little projects all the way from making copper whales to copper birdbaths. The time, effort, and pride that goes into their work is amazing and deffinitley worth every dollar.

I’ve had 3 standing seam metal roofs done along with copper and steel rain gutter systems. All of my jobs were done on time and the roofs and gutters are so beautiful that the neighbors are envious. Highly recommend ASM. Thanks guys

Archibald Sheet Metal made us a custom fireplace cap which had 2 flues. They did a great job and finished it quickly. The cost was very reasonable.

Where this page comes from
Every figure above is Google’s, captured on 24 September 2026. The star average and the 17 ratings behind it are counted by Google across all of its reviews. The review text on this page is a sample — we hold 17, of which 13 have any text — and it is not everything Google shows.
Roof Warden does not verify licenses, bonds, insurance or workers’ compensation cover, and nothing on this page should be read as though we had. Confirm those directly with the contractor and with your state or provincial licensing body before you hire anyone.
