Before on-site welding or cutting
Confirm permit handling with the city before metal work begins. Franklin requires permits to be posted on job sites; don’t assume permit paperwork and posting are already covered.
Before we weld or cut on site, we remove nearby combustible materials. Anything that cannot be moved gets shielded, and we keep suitable fire-extinguishing equipment ready.
Installation and final walkthrough
We install the fabricated work and complete a final project walkthrough. That walkthrough is your opportunity to review the completed installation with us.

Our Process
-
Call or Text
Tell us what you're seeing and when it started — you'll get a straight answer, not a sales pitch.

Know the Price First
We put the fix, the timeline, and the number on paper — take your time with it.
Some of what that looks like in the field:
- Prepare a scaled gate rendering and revise it with the customer before cutting begins.
- Miter and bevel square-tube frame corners to prepare them for full-penetration welds.

Straight Answers to Common Questions
What do metal fabricators do?
Metal fabricators transform raw metal into products by cutting, shaping, and assembling. They work on projects from structural steel beams to decorative railings, using tools like CNC machines, welders, and grinders. Tasks include interpreting blueprints, selecting materials, and ensuring precision in measurements and finishes.
Is metal fabrication a hard job?
It can be physically demanding, requiring lifting, standing for long hours, and working with heavy machinery. Precision and attention to detail are critical, especially for custom designs. However, skilled fabricators with training in welding, CNC operation, or CAD can find it rewarding and well-compensated.
Are metal fabricators in demand?
Yes, skilled fabricators are needed for construction, automotive, and custom metalwork. Demand is steady for projects like gates, railings, and industrial components. Specialized skills (e.g., ornamental ironwork or aerospace-grade welding) can command higher wages and more opportunities.
