Jack Berridge
Chairman
of the Board
The backbone of our economy is the familyowned business and Kirtley Sheet Metal of Tomball,
Texas is an outstanding example of a highly successful family owned and operated roofing and
sheet metal company. Kirtley’s tradition of honesty,
integrity and utmost quality is evident in every
project they complete as shown in this issue.
Berridge provides Kirtley Sheet Metal with full support, including light gauge steel framing design assistance on large retrofit projects like those pictured
in this issue. Kirtley Sheet Metal’s two Berridge
portable roll formers give them full production control of exact-length standing seam roof panels to
meet their client’s requirements.
The architectural firm spotlighted in the
“Architect’s View” section of this BYLINE is Ken
Anderson and Associates of The Woodlands,
Texas. This family owned design firm is the most
prestigious architectural firm in the unique self-contained city and surrounding wooded residential community situated thirty miles north of Houston, Texas.
Ken Anderson Associates have won a number of
design awards for their environmentally-friendly
design solutions and when it comes to standing
seam metal roofing, their first choice is Berridge.

K
irtley Sheet Metal was founded in 1981 by Philip
Kirtley. The company installed built-up roofing, mainly
for commercial buildings in the Houston area. Upon
forming his own company, Philip began a transition into the
relatively new field on standing seam metal roofing. The trend
of metal roofing was rapidly growing stronger in the Houston
area and Berridge Manufacturing Company, founded in 1970,
was establishing a reputation as a leader in the relatively
new field of architectural metal roofing. Kirtley Sheet Metal
began to install various types of metal roofing, including some
aluminum shake shingle jobs using Berridge products. Commercial projects which utilized standing seam roofing would
comprise the majority of Kirtley Sheet Metal’s metal roofing
work over the next three decades, while the firm also offered
several flat roofing products..
In the mid 90’s Kirtley Sheet Metal began using Berridge
portable roll forming equipment to fabricate continuous length
standing seam metal roofing panels, and thus began a new
process which would virtually revolutionize the company’s
mode of operation. Phillip Kirtley describes the transition to
site-forming: “We found there was no comparison with buying factory-made standing seam panels from other companies -- with site forming our own panels, there is no waiting
for delivery and we are in control of the job schedule from

start to finish!”
Kirtley Sheet Metal purchased a Berridge Model SS-14 TeePanel Standing Seam portable roll former in 2001 and a Model
CL-21 Cee-Lock Standing Seam portable roll former in 2002.
They utilize their portable roll formers both in the shop and at
the job site for panels longer than forty feet. Kirtley’s modern
sheet metal shop is also equipped with a computerized sheet
metal brake for fabrication of custom flashing, coping, trim,
gutters and downspout accessories to complete the job.
“We found there was no comparison with
buying factory-made standing seam panels from other companies -- with site
forming our own panels, there is no waiting for delivery and we are in control of
the job schedule from start to finish!”
Today, Kirtley Sheet Metal is a family-owned and operated
business whose keys to success are honesty, integrity and
unwavering dedication to quality. Philip Kirtley is President,
his wife Connie is Vice President. Both of Phillip’s sons are
also active in the business: Darrel Kirtley is Head of Estimating while Philip Jr. (P.J.) is Project Manager. Daughter Beth
Kirtley is the company’s receptionist.

In describing his work with metal roofing in general and Berridge metal roofing products in particular, Ken notes: “Berridge metal roofing is everywhere
you look in The Woodlands -- We’ve built dozens of
park shelters and other structures and ninety percent of them have Berridge roofs.” The Windsor Lake
Community Center featured in this article utilized
Berridge’s Cee-Lock Standing Seam roof system.
