Residential Welding + Custom Home Metalwork
Our team has completed a wide range of residential metalwork projects across the Bay Area and beyond, including handrail repairs, gate fabrication, and structural metal installations. We’ve worked on both interior and exterior features, handling tasks such as reinforcing stair railings, installing custom metal gates, and repairing metal fixtures in and around homes. Each project was completed to meet specific structural and design requirements, with a strong focus on accuracy, safety, and craftsmanship throughout every residential job.
Commercial Welding: Repair + Installations
Our team has worked on a range of commercial projects across the Bay Area and Northern California, with our work contributing to some of the region’s most recognized sites. Our professional experience includes modifying robotic components at Tesla, repairing aluminum doors at Apple, and servicing gate hinges at San Francisco International Airport. We’ve also repaired structural welding beneath the seating at the SF Stadium, reinforced barricades at the Oakland Stadium, and repaired handrails at San Jose State University. These projects demonstrate our team’s ability to adapt to different environments and deliver quality work that holds up under real-world use.
