Your Concept, Brought To Life
Bring us a sketch, a photo or just an idea, and we design, fabricate and install gates and fences that match it. You see a drawing of the design before we cut steel. From clean modern horizontal slat gates to classic wrought-iron looks, we work steel, aluminum and everything between, then finish it with optional powder coating or galvanized dipping so it holds up to San Diego sun and coastal air.
What We Handle
- Driveway & pedestrian gates, swing and sliding
- Security fencing, pool fencing & fence toppers on block walls
- ADA-accessible gate designs with slow-close hardware
- Repairs, re-hangs and hardware upgrades on existing gates
Where Safety Meets Craft
A railing has two jobs: hold weight without question, and look like it belongs in your space. We fabricate and install stair railings, balcony and deck rails, handrails and ornamental pieces in every style, classic scrollwork or something only you've imagined. Every install is plumb, solid and up to code.
What We Handle
- Interior & exterior stair railings and handrails
- Balcony, deck & guard rails for homes and commercial buildings
- Steel staircases, straight, switchback and custom
- Ornamental & decorative metal work of every kind
Welds You Can Build On
Our standard for penetration, fit-up and inspection comes from commercial work, and we bring the same discipline to beams, posts, brackets, frames and sheet metal fabrication for contractors, property managers and homeowners.
What We Handle
- Structural steel, beams, columns, moment frames & brackets
- Commercial build-outs & tenant improvements
- Sheet metal fabrication, enclosures, panels, guards & covers
- Ferrous & nonferrous metals, all welding applications
Pipe Is Where Precision Lives
Pipe welding leaves no room for "close enough", a weld either seals and holds pressure, or it doesn't. Every pipe job gets the same discipline: proper prep, correct filler for the alloy, full-fusion passes and clean finishing.
What We Handle
- Steel, stainless & aluminum pipe, all common schedules
- Repairs, reroutes, brackets & supports
- Handrail & structural pipe fabrication
- Onsite pipe work via our fully mobile rig
Shipyard Standards For Your Boat
Aluminum boat repair punishes shortcuts: contaminated metal, thin corroded sheets and stress points that fail again if the fix isn't planned right. We establish a clear, concise repair plan first, then execute it with the prep and filler discipline marine work demands. Recent work includes transom replacement, chine and centerline welding where hull sheets meet, and axle, leaf-spring and fender retrofits on trailers.
What We Handle
- Aluminum boat repair, transoms, chines, centerlines & seams
- Boat trailer repair & retrofit, axles, brackets, leaf springs, fenders
- Custom marine fabrication, rails, mounts, tanks & fittings
- Dockside & yard service via our mobile rig
The Shop That Comes To You
Some jobs can't come to a shop, a gate hanging off its hinge, a broken trailer on your property, structural steel already standing. We are a fully mobile operation: a complete welding rig rolls to your location anywhere in San Diego County, we assess onsite, and most repairs are done in one visit.
What We Handle
- Onsite repairs, gates, fences, railings, equipment & trailers
- Jobsite welding support for contractors
- Dockside marine & trailer work
- Onsite estimates and quick scheduling
Built To Your Idea
Not every job fits a category. Custom jobs are the one-off builds: an awning over the patio, a set of sliding barn doors, a frame, a bracket, a piece that has to fit a spot nothing off the shelf will. Bring a sketch, a photo or just the idea, and we'll work out the design, fabricate it and install it.
What We Handle
- Patio awnings and shade covers
- Sliding barn doors
- Custom frames, brackets and mounts
- One-off repairs and modifications
