Misc. Metals & Railings for General Contractors
Need a welding sub who'll show up, build it to the drawing and get it installed before the inspector does? RickTheWelder fabricates and installs handrails, railings and miscellaneous metals for general contractors, builders and property managers across New Castle County and Kent County, Delaware, plus Eastern Maryland. We build in our Townsend shop and install on site with our mobile rig.
Rail repair by RickTheWelder
On Schedule, Even When It's Tight
Rick has fabricated powder coated handrails for a movie theater, done parking lot handrail alterations, and once fabricated a rail at 2am so a customer could pass a 9am inspection. When a punch list or an inspection is holding up your job, call.
Miscellaneous Metals
Welded posts on base plates, drilled for anchors
Brackets, clips, angles and plates in production runs
Security cages and enclosures, like AC unit cages
Safety rails around a truck service pit, and platforms with handrails
Frames, racks and supports
Field fixes and alterations when something doesn't fit
Built to Your Drawings
Send us a print, a sketch or a spec sheet and we'll fabricate to it. Customers send us their shop drawings, spec sheets and architectural details, and we build the parts to match. If the job needs engineered or stamped drawings, those come from your design team; we fabricate and install to them. See Custom Fabrication for examples, including a customer's spec sheet and the security cages we built from it.
Parking lot and sidewalk handrails, including alterations, are regular work for us. We do them on site with the mobile welding rig, so the lot stays open and nothing has to be hauled away.
Shop Fabrication, Field Installation
Parts are cut, drilled, fit and welded on the table in our Townsend shop. A magnetic drill with annular cutters puts clean holes through heavy plate and beams, in the shop or on site. When something has to be built to fit in place, the mobile welding rig brings the shop to your jobsite. Steel, stainless and aluminum.
Hours
