Heather & Little: A Century of Craftsmanship in Architectural Sheet Metal

Heather & Little (H&L) is a Canadian architectural sheet metal company with a legacy spanning 100 years. Specializing in heritage restoration, H&L offers unmatched custom metal fabrication services. Whether reproducing historic designs or crafting innovative creations, they expertly restore roofs, walls, doors, and windows to their original beauty.

Preserving History with Precision

“Historic designs often have complex profiles,” says Priscilla Lo of Heather & Little. “Having the Roper Whitney AutoBrake allows us to program complex shapes faster and more accurately, thereby increasing productivity and efficiency in our shop.”

H&L relies on the AutoBrake to replicate intricate elements like cornices, flashings, caps, and decorative pieces—details that are too complex to bend by hand. The precision and efficiency of the AutoBrake have been instrumental in ensuring the authenticity of their restorations and maintaining their reputation for excellence.

A Longstanding Partnership

Heather & Little has been a loyal customer of Roper Whitney for decades. “We already had a ~20-year-old Roper Whitney AutoBrake and liked its functionality so much that we bought two more machines,” Priscilla explains.

The decision to invest in additional Roper Whitney equipment wasn’t made lightly. “Heather & Little shopped around as buying two new Brakes was a serious investment,” Priscilla shares. “Being USA-made (and not overseas) was a big factor in our decision to purchase, along with the ability to quickly and easily obtain consumable parts and the added perk of accessible technical support.”

A Worthwhile Investment

The new AutoBrakes have proven to be a valuable addition to H&L’s shop. “The AutoBrake has been a worthwhile investment due to improving workflow and shop efficiencies,” says Priscilla. “It also allowed us to be more detailed and accurate in replicating intricate details of historic pieces.”

The machine’s reliability, ease of use, and user-friendly profile programming have made a significant impact on H&L’s operations. Features like adjustable crowning gauges and fine-tuning options for back gauge and angles enable their team to produce consistent, high-quality results.

Exceptional Customer Service

Heather & Little’s experience with Roper Whitney has been enhanced by the outstanding customer service they’ve received. “The team was responsive, attentive, and always ready to assist with any questions or concerns,” Priscilla notes.

From the initial purchase to ongoing support, H&L values the knowledgeable and approachable team at Roper Whitney. “The excellent customer service is great as well,” Priscilla adds. “The team ensures we get the most out of the product and is always ready to assist with any questions or technical support.”

Building a Legacy for the Future

As Heather & Little celebrates a century of excellence, they continue to lead the way in heritage restoration and custom architectural metal fabrication. With tools like the Roper Whitney AutoBrake supporting their work, H&L combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology to deliver exceptional results.
