As a long-standing, family-owned fabricator, quality craftsmanship and exceptional product performance are at the forefront of our Pro-R portfolio of thermal ductwork solutions. The premier, Pro-R brand is part of the Ducts and Cleats line of durable, custom-fabricated ductwork products utilized in facilities of all sizes.

Our legacy began in 1966, when George Albers founded Ducts and Cleats in St. Paul, MN. Thousands of mechanical projects later, the company today is led by George’s son Chuck, who serves as president and CEO overseeing day-to-day operations, product development, and strategic counsel with partners. Leadership roles are held by Kevin Albers, Chuck’s son, who manages product development, marketing and sales as well as additional extended family members who lend their expertise. Ducts and Cleats is a member of the Local 10 Sheetmetal Union.

Pro-R was developed by Chuck and his team who understand the challenges that come with specifying and installing a long-life duct product that exceeds expectations of both mechanical engineers and contractors. With years of experience in fabricating ductwork for projects of all sizes, the Ducts and Cleats team created Pro-R, a duct solution that is energy efficient, built to last and easy to install. Find our outdoor and indoor Pro-R duct solutions throughout the Midwest and beyond, from elementary schools and hospitals to retail locations, manufacturing facilities to zoos. We are proud to offer the exceptional products, valuable tools, and trusted team necessary for our customers’ success, particularly as many HVAC shops have moved away from in-house fabrication offerings.

Our team of knowledgeable air quality and HVAC professionals bring years of hands-on sheet metal fabrication experience and duct installation expertise to projects of all sizes and scopes.
