The culturally aligned partnership reinforces both firms' commitment to quality, craftmanship and people
NEW YORK, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolkow Braker, a leader in commercial roofing services, proudly announces it has acquired operational control and the exclusive management of Metalmaster Roofmaster, one of the Midwest's premier commercial roofing and architectural sheet metal contractors. This leadership consolidation brings together two multi-generational, family-run businesses with shared values and a strong reputation for excellence in craftsmanship, safety, and service.
Adding Metalmaster Roofmaster under Wolkow Braker's management significantly enhances Wolkow Braker's operational capacity, particularly in sheet metal fabrication and installation, and positions the firm to better serve clients across commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors from the East Coast to the Midwest. The combined companies will offer expanded resources, deeper technical expertise, and a continued dedication to quality and client satisfaction.
"Metalmaster Roofmaster has long been recognized as an industry leader, especially for their outstanding work in architectural sheet metal," said Scott Wolkowitz, President and CEO of Wolkow Braker. "This opportunity represents more than just a business transaction—it's a union of two family businesses with deeply aligned values and cultures. Together, we are poised to offer an even higher standard of service and craftsmanship to our clients."
Founded in 1977 and based in McHenry, IL, Metalmaster Roofmaster is known for its precision in sheet metal fabrication, expert installation teams, and dedication to long-standing client relationships. The company recently transitioned to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), underscoring its commitment to empowering employees and fostering a shared sense of ownership and pride.
Dan Smeja, previous Principal of Metalmaster Roofmaster, shared, "As part of the Metalmaster Roofmaster ownership and management transition, we wanted to recognize our employees for their hard work while also bringing in an experienced commercial roofing company to manage the business and take it to the next level of growth. In an era when business relationships often feel transactional, it's truly refreshing to partner with a company that puts people and customers first, and with the ESOP in place, joining forces with Wolkow Braker makes this transition even more exciting for our employees."
Wolkow Braker and Metalmaster Roofmaster will maintain a strong presence from New York to Chicago, offering a comprehensive suite of roofing and sheet metal solutions—from design and fabrication to installation and service - proudly utilizing its strong tradition of union fabricators and installers. Clients can expect continuity in quality and service, with added benefits from the expanded operational footprint and technical capabilities.
