Specialty & Architectural Metalwork

A fabrication shop capable of building quality gates can build many other things. The same equipment, skills, and quality standards that produce our gate work apply to architectural metalwork, custom hardware, and specialty fabrication.

We take on projects that fit our capabilities,work that requires skilled welding, precise fabrication, and durable finishes. If it is metal and can be built in our shop, we consider it. Not everything fits, but many things do.

This service exists because customers asked for it. Property owners who saw our gates wanted matching railings. Architects designing with metal needed a fabricator who understood their specifications. General contractors needed specialty items built right. We responded to the demand.

Metal screens provide privacy, sun control, and visual interest. Perforated patterns, laser-cut designs, or woven mesh create varied effects. Screens serve as fence alternatives, building cladding, or interior partitions.

Design possibilities are extensive. Geometric patterns, organic forms, custom artwork, or branded graphics can be rendered in metal. We work from architect drawings, artist renderings, or client concepts to produce panels that realize the design vision.

Mounting and framing require attention. Large panels need structural support. Panels exposed to wind need engineering. Expansion and contraction must be accommodated. We consider these factors during design and fabrication.

HVAC equipment, electrical panels, utility meters, and mechanical systems often need enclosures for protection, screening, or security. Metal enclosures protect equipment while allowing necessary access and ventilation.

Enclosure design balances multiple requirements. Equipment needs airflow. Service technicians need access. Aesthetics may require screening equipment from view. Security may require locks and robust construction. We design enclosures that address all applicable requirements.

Louvers, perforated panels, and removable sections accommodate airflow and access. Locks and hinges allow controlled entry. Finishes coordinate with surrounding architecture. Each enclosure is designed for its specific application.

Not everything we build goes into production. Prototypes test concepts before commitment. One-off pieces serve unique requirements. Art pieces express individual vision. We approach these projects with the same care as production work.

Prototyping benefits from fabrication experience. We can often identify design issues before building. Suggestions may improve function, reduce cost, or simplify construction. The goal is a prototype that truly tests the concept.

One-off pieces require full attention despite their singularity. A piece built once must be built right the first time. We take measurements, verify details, and confirm specifications before fabrication. Mistakes in one-off work cannot be corrected by building another.
