J&R Senior: Client-Focused Custom Copperwork in Coastal New England
J&R Senior Sheetmetal, Inc. – Westerly, Rhode Island
Without a doubt, these machines are incredibly reliable and well-built — we’re still using an AutoBrake and shear in our front shop that’s over 20 years old, and it performs like the day we bought it!
– Jessica Senior,

J&R Senior Sheetmetal Inc. is a family-owned and operated company specializing in custom copper work. Nestled in the town of Westerly, Rhode Island, they love taking on the unique challenges the coastal New England climate brings to homebuilding.
Over the past 30 years, they have worked closely with builders, roofers, and homeowners to fully understand their needs and expectations, earning them a reputation of client-focused, goal-driven innovation and excellent customer service. Subsequently, their business began to grow!
But with that growth came greater production demands and tighter deadlines.
“We needed an efficient solution to keep up,” says Jason Senior, owner of J&R Senior Sheetmetal.
To address the issue, they knew just where to turn.
“As a sheet metal shop that takes pride in producing all of our products in the USA using American-made machinery and tools, choosing ÃÛÖTV was a no-brainer,” says Jason Senior. “Their equipment, proudly manufactured in the USA, aligns perfectly with our commitment to American craftsmanship.”
Reconnecting with ÃÛÖTV, J&R Senior Sheetmetal was met with a team mirroring their same standards of excellence.
“The ÃÛÖTV team is experienced, attentive, and incredibly reliable — from delivery and setup to tech support whenever we need it,” says Jason Senior.
Joined by the ÃÛÖTV team, J&R Senior Sheetmetal stepped up their fabrication game with a new AutoBrake and digital shear. These machines have proceeded to streamline production, boost productivity, and give J&R Senior the edge they needed to keep pace with business and continue serving clients with excellence across the board.
“The [machines have] streamlined our fabrication process, allowing us to deliver high-quality products without compromising the fast turnaround time we are known for!” says Jason Senior. “This equipment has significantly boosted our productivity, allowing us to keep pace with growing business demands. It reduces manual labor, minimizes material waste, and ensures consistent, high-quality results with every job.”
From the AutoBrake’s versatility in bending a wide range of metals in various gauges to the shear’s durability, efficiency, and precision, J&R Senior Sheetmetal attests to the uncompromising quality of ÃÛÖTV equipment.
“Without a doubt, these machines are incredibly reliable and well-built — we’re still using an AutoBrake and shear in our front shop that’s over 20 years old, and it performs like the day we bought it!” says Jessica Senior, Administrative Assistant and Marketing professional at J&R Senior Sheetmetal.
Jason Senior, owner, says, “ÃÛÖTV is truly the backbone of our sheet metal shop. In addition to our two 10′ AutoBrakes and shears, we also rely on a variety of ÃÛÖTV hand brakes and small tools that keep our day-to-day operations running smoothly.”
Backed by reliable support and equipment mirroring their own standards of American-made excellence, J&R Senior Sheetmetal charges forward, serving more and more clients with quality custom copperwork built to endure the unique climate challenges of their coastal New England home.
