Aluminum welding & Metal Fabrication
Fabrication Services
Most people don’t realize we are also an Aluminum Welding shop. Not only do we specialize in boat performance and boat props, but we also specialize in boat repair, boat modifications, and boat customizations. We focus on aluminum welding, but we also weld on stainless steel and mild steel. The definition of fabrication is “The action or process of manufacturing or inventing something.”
At our metal fabrication shop in Lafayette, we love to fabricate more functional parts for boats. We are not your average, everyday, run of the mill Metal Fabricator like other shops in Lafayette. We are a different kind of boat shop in Acadiana. We take what you already have an we make it more FUNctional. We DO NOT fabricate boats….yet.
We know the excitement of buying a new boat and quickly realizing you should have added more boat storage, a walk-through windshield, a center console, a grab bar, a sight fishing tower, a T-Top and so on. Well that’s what we do. If you have an existing boat and would like to add things like a boat deck, boat floor, extend your boat deck, a bigger Fuel tank, more boat storage, center or dual console, a enclosed boat cab, Leaning post, Boat Steps, Dry storage, flotation pods and so on, that’s what we do.
We do all of our aluminum welding in-house, by hand (No machines here). With that being said, you can bet on a quality job that no one else has. Can you think of anything you just die to have in your boat? Give us a call or come stop & let’s see what we can create!
Aluminum Welding & Boat Repair Services
Now, you know we are a Metal Fabricator, a welding shop, a Boat Performance Shop, and a Boat Prop Shop. Did you know we are Boat Repair Shop too? That’s right. Remember how we discussed specializing in Aluminum Welding? That includes repair work on boats and boat trailers.
Did you misjudge the height of your garage, or did you think your shed was wider than it was? Maybe you had TOO good of a time on the boat and realized that handrail isn’t as sturdy as it used to be? Maybe your boat is showing its age and needs some repairs.
Did you explore a new fishing spot and discover a submerged object? Did you let the grandkids dock the boat? Or maybe your boat transom is just as tired of traveling our Louisiana roads as you are.
We provide boat repair services for most damages and we can work with your insurance if it’s a claim.
