The work

Beads, cuts
& finished steel.

Welding and fabrication is a craft you judge up close: the bead, the fit-up, the finish on the corner nobody was supposed to look at. Aluminum, steel and stainless each behave differently under the torch, and all three get welded in this shop.

What we weld

Three metals.

Aluminum, steel and stainless — all three, in house.

01AluminumPulls heat away fast and never changes colour before it goes. Unforgiving, and the reason most shops say no.
02SteelThe everyday one. Strong, economical, and it tells you what it is doing while you weld it.
03StainlessMoves as it heats and has to be kept clean, or the corrosion resistance you paid for is gone.
What we do

Welding and
fabrication.

Custom fabrication from a drawing or a broken sample, aluminum and stainless work most shops will not take, weld repairs that hold, and railings, gates and frames built to the opening that actually exists. All of it in aluminum, steel or stainless, out of the shop on Pecan Lane in Clayton.

How it works

Bring it in.
We quote it.

There is no mystery to getting a job started here. The one thing that speeds it up more than anything else: a photo with a tape measure in the frame. That single picture usually answers the material, the size and the difficulty all at once.

  • Send a photo, a drawing, or bring the part to the shop on Pecan Lane
  • We tell you the metal it should be made from and what it will take
  • You get a free quote before any work starts — big job or small
  • It gets built, welded and finished in the shop, then it is ready to collect
