Jay is the best. Very knowledgeable and very talented at what he does. I’ve dealt with a lot of shops over the years, and unfortunately customer service and care is non existent with most of them. Customer service, communication and overall experience with Jay is up there with the best. Can’t recommend him enough.

I can finally write a review!! Iv watched Jay grow and become an amazing fabricator over the years. His work is top notch quality. I wanted him to be apart of a project iv been working on for a while and had him tig weld my aluminum fuel tanks for my mark 2 ford gt40 replica. They came out beautiful! I wish he lived closer so I can have him help me out more often!

The welder behind every build

Jason is a world-class welder who builds the kind of parts other shops turn down.

Every weld is laid by hand and meant to be looked at as much as driven: clean, consistent beads on stainless and aluminum that hold up under heat, boost and vibration.

  • Stick welding
  • MIG welding
  • TIG welding
  • Brazing

Talk to the fabricatorNo front desk. You work with Jason from first message to pickup.
