“Chop and Drop” is a roofing installation method where roofing materials—most commonly standing seam metal roofing panels, trim pieces, and gutters—are custom fabricated and cut to the exact specifications of a project directly at the job site. Rather than ordering pre-cut materials from a manufacturer and waiting for delivery, specialized equipment is brought to the property to produce the materials on demand.
