Materials
Materials we work with
We work with the most common fabrication metals in sheet, plate, bar, tube, pipe, and structural shapes.
Carbon & mild steel
The workhorse for brackets, frames, plates, and structural work. Strong, easy to weld, and cost-effective.
Stainless steel
Corrosion-resistant and clean-looking. Ideal for food-processing, marine, outdoor, and wash-down applications.
Aluminum
Lightweight and naturally corrosion-resistant. A strong fit for marine, trailer, and weight-sensitive parts.
Something else?
Ask us about your material. If a job isn't a good fit for our shop, we'll tell you upfront.
Shop capabilities
