About Us
We are a family-owned welding and custom fabrication shop that has been proudly supporting our community for over 80 years! Because we tackle everything from everyday local repairs to custom structural projects, no two days here are ever the same.

- General Repairs: Repair trailers, lawn furniture, farm equipment, household items, and standard structural components.
- Layout & Prep: Read patterns or blueprints, measure, cut, fit, and prep materials for welding.
- Shop Operations: Work independently and alongside team members to complete high-quality projects efficiently while keeping a clean, safe work area.
Requirements & Qualifications
- Experience: Prior welding experience is REQUIRED .
- Certifications: Welding certifications are NOT required—we value hands-on experience, skill, and a good work ethic.
- Ability to work directly from shop drawings, patterns, or customer sketches.
- Versatility to switch between short repair tasks and multi-day fabrication projects.
- Strong attention to detail, pride in craftsmanship, and a reliable work ethic.
What We Offer (Benefits)
