We're a shop, not a corporation. Small enough that you'll always talk to the person doing the work. Experienced enough to handle anything you throw at us.
Marcus started welding at 19, sweeping floors and running beads in a structural shop in Beaumont. By his mid-twenties he was leading crews on industrial shutdowns and commercial projects across the Gulf Coast. In 2006, he opened Ironweld Fabrication in Houston with one welding machine, a used plasma cutter, and a reputation for doing things right.
Today he holds an AWS Certified Welding Inspector credential, a qualification that requires years of documented field experience and rigorous written exams. He still runs the shop floor personally on complex jobs because he believes the person responsible for quality should be the person doing the work.
When Marcus takes on a project, you're not handing it off to a salesperson who passes it down the chain. You're working with the fabricator directly. That's rare. And it's why clients come back.
Ironweld Fabrication grew through word of mouth. We never ran print ads or cold-called contractors. Every new client came from a referral from someone we'd already done right by. That's still true today.
We moved into our current 8,000 square foot facility in north Houston in 2014. The shop houses a CNC plasma cutting table capable of 10-gauge through 2-inch plate, a dedicated pipe fabrication bay, and full overhead crane coverage. It's a real working shop, not a showroom.
Our client list includes industrial construction contractors, oil and gas operators, commercial developers, and individual property owners who want custom ironwork done the right way. The projects change. The standards don't.
