What we make.
Custom architectural sheet metal in copper, zinc, and slate — hand-fabricated in our Burnaby shop for projects of every scale.
Metal & Slate Roof Installations
Zinc, copper, and slate roof installations — the core of ZS Enterprises. Each project receives a customized approach based on the materials, design, building needs, and installation requirements.
- Concealed fastener systems
- 80–100+ year service life
- Hand-formed standing seam, batten seam, flat-lock
- Naturally develops protective patina

Gutter Systems
Properly designed gutter systems protect the building from water, debris, and roof runoff. Made from high-quality zinc and copper for durability, function, and long-lasting performance.
Custom Design & Metal Art
Custom design and metal artwork are a specialty of ZS Enterprises. If you can imagine it, we can create it — for gutters, dormers, roofs, walls, chimneys, fireplaces, or as standalone decorative pieces.
Wall Cladding
High-quality, specialized, and custom-designed wall cladding applications that provide both protection and architectural appeal — enhancing durability and appearance in equal measure.
- Lowest embodied carbon of premium metals
- Self-healing matte patina
- 80–100+ year service life
- Pre-weathered cool grey and graphite finishes
- Suited to curved and sculptural roof forms
Flashing
Well-designed and properly crafted sheet metal flashing protects underlying structures from water and moisture. Designed and installed in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and applications.

On materials.
Roofing material is the single biggest decision in the project's lifespan. Here's how the options compare.
We work primarily in solid copper and architectural zinc — materials whose service life justifies the work that goes into them. We install prefinished steel where the project's economics call for it, and will always make the recommendation that suits your building's lifespan.
