Berger Building Products, Inc. has been servicing the roofing and siding industry since 1874. The company was founded in Philadelphia, PA and still operates three facilities in the region. In the past few years Berger has opened production and distribution facilities in Chicago, Sacramento and Dallas in an attempt to provide local manufacturing and distribution for our customer base. For many years Berger has supplied copper, aluminum and steel gutter along with an assortment of accessories to complete the roof drainage system. The biggest change at Berger is the emergence of our broad product offering. We now offer roof edge, step and roll flashing, gutter coil and trim coil, ridge ventilation, synthetic underlayment, professional grade caulk, soffit, fascia, gutter guards and a complete line of snow retention products. Even though Berger is considered the leader in copper roof drainage systems we have added much more to our product offering so that our distributors can take advantage of our free freight program, order more often and turn their inventories more frequently. Our mission is to provide quality products to our wholesale distributors with first class service and competitive prices. We support our customers with a national sales force and a very strong inside sales group. Please give Berger and our distributors a chance to supply you with our quality products. We would be honored to serve you. Universal Conductor Heads: Our Universal Conductor Heads are made of a special blend of UV stabilized polyethylene resin to resist the stress of corrosion by acid rain or salt air. This product is white color molded throughout eliminating peeling, chipping or cracking. They can be easily cut with a round hole saw or spiral router bit to suit any outlet shape. The recessed bottom conceals the outlet attachment and there are no solder seams or solder. Half-Round Gutter System: Available in Painted and Mill Finished Aluminum, Galvanized and Painted Steel. K Gutter Sytems: Available in Painted and Mill Finished Aluminum, Galvanized and Painted Steel. Downspouts/Conductors: Round and Square Downspouts. Plain, Corrugated or Custom. W & V Valley Galvanized Steel, Paint Grip, Mill Finished & Painted Aluminum, and Copper. Ridge Roll Galvanized Steel, Mill Finished & Painted Aluminum, and Copper. Brick & Crown Mouldings White Aluminum, 12oz. Copper, and Custom Colors upon Request. Pro-Master Ridge Vent is manufactured from natural components that form a durable, long-lasting and cost effective product which helps decrease cooling/heating costs and promotes healthy, breathable air. Pro-Master Ridge Vent is a "GREEN" product, which is made with natural fiber that is environmentally friendly with no maintenance or operating costs. It meets the attic ventilation requirements of ALL nationally recognized building codes for ventilation when properly installed with soffit or eave vents. Pro-Master Ridge Vent carries a 40-year warranty. Gutter Covers: The Gutter Shingle design has combined the solid cover concept with the conventional design of a mesh gutter guard. The Gutter Shingle will handle any amount of rainfall while keeping leaves, pine needles, twigs & other small debris out of the gutter. The Gutter Shingle can be used with aluminum, steel or copper gutters.
