Custom gates
Driveway, entry, and side gates fabricated to your opening and built to swing true for years.
Costa Mesa · Welding & custom metal
If it's metal, it can be made right.
One man, thirty-plus years, every kind of metal. Custom gates, railings, marine and boat work, and the repairs other shops turn away — cut, welded, and finished by hand.
What we fabricate
One shop, every metal, made to order.
From a driveway gate to a boat rail to the one bracket nobody else would touch — the same set of hands builds all of it, to spec, in Costa Mesa.
Railings & stair rails
Interior and exterior railings, stair and balcony rails, and handrails in steel, aluminum, or stainless.
Marine & boat metalwork
Stainless and aluminum fabrication for the marine trade — railings, towers, hardware, and repairs.
Repairs & restoration
Cracks, breaks, and "unfixable" parts — brought back to life when replacing them wasn't in the budget.
Custom & structural fab
Brackets, frames, security doors, and one-off commercial work, fabricated to spec with real detail.

A cut above ornamental iron
Built for salt water, not just the driveway.
Working the residential and marine trades means metal that has to survive the harbor. That's the standard everything here is held to.
Marine-grade, by hand
Stainless and aluminum railings, towers, and hardware — fabricated and finished to take sun, salt, and spray. The same craftsmanship goes into every residential gate and rail that leaves the shop.
The shop
One man. One torch.
One man. One torch.
Thirty-plus years.
Superior Welding & Fabrication is Ernesto — the man who answers the phone, cuts the steel, and lays every bead himself. No sales desk, no runaround: you talk to the person actually building your work.
Thirty-plus years working all metals across the residential and marine trades, off Monrovia in Costa Mesa. He'll take on the job the last shop said couldn't be done, and bring back the part everyone else told you to replace.
30+years, hands-on
