When should I hire a sheet metal contractor? Should I just leave this type of thing up to my GC?
HI Jiyan, a sheet metal contractor is a tradesman who fabricates, installs, and repairs sheet metal for roofs, rain gutters, siding, ventilation, heating and air-conditioning duct systems. If you have a GC, yes, you should leave this up to him. Bringing in different tradesman when you already have a GC is not recommended, it can open up room for a lot of headaches. Your GC most likely knows their tradesman for years and are able to get the best pricing but most importantly that can trust their work and rely on them.
If you have any more questions, iām happy to answer.

A sheet metal worker is a skilled tradesman who creates, installs, and repairs sheet metal products. Most commonly these products include elements of heating, cooling, and ventilation systems, although sheet metal workers also fabricate and repair products for drainage and roofing applications.
Sheet Metal Contractors for HVAC can custom make any and all metal, i.e., ducting, return cans, plenums, supply air cans etc.
