Services
Custom Metal Fabrication
We create custom metal structures using aluminum, steel, brass, and bronze. Our process transforms client concepts into durable architectural elements like gates and railings. With advanced tools and traditional techniques, we produce both modern and historic designs that meet exact specifications.
Restoration & Repair
Our team restores aging metalwork through welding, refinishing, and structural reinforcement. We specialize in preserving historic pieces while ensuring functionality. Mobile repair services address on-site issues with gates, fences, and structural components for residential and commercial properties.
Powder Coating
We apply durable powder coatings after sandblasting to renew metal surfaces. This process creates long-lasting finishes that resist chipping and fading. Our industrial oven curing ensures professional results for gates, railings, and ornamental pieces.
Sandblasting
Our sandblasting removes old finishes and prepares metal for refinishing. This preparation ensures proper adhesion for powder coating or patina applications. We handle both small components and large architectural elements.
Mobile Welding
We provide mobile welding services for aluminum, steel, and iron repairs. Our technicians bring equipment to client locations for gate, fence, and structural repairs. Services include MIG, TIG, and spot welding for immediate fixes.

Report
I went to Glenn Simmons with a unique problem. The pedestal metal legs on our dining room table had rust on them. I brought them to his shop the day I called him. Since they were very heavy he took them out of my car for me. Unfortunately for us, I did not know the metal they were made from. After many trials on how best to tackle them Glenn finally found a solution. He really went the extra mile to make the legs look like new. I will definitely not hesitate to use him in the future and will definitely refer him to my friends.
