Understanding the Steel Fabrication Process
As a provider of professional steel fabrication services, it's important to understand what this process entails. At its core, steel fabrication involves transforming raw materials into functional and customized products such as fences, gates, railings, and more.
The process begins by melting down and refining raw components, which are then formed into steel and shaped to meet specific design and structural requirements. This work demands precision and expertise—skilled fabricators use specialized tools and techniques to craft durable, high-quality metal structures tailored to your needs.
At our shop, we specialize in custom ironworks and take pride in delivering expertly fabricated fences, gates, and railings that stand the test of time. Whether you're looking for a decorative entryway or a secure perimeter solution, our steel fabrication capabilities ensure your project is built with strength, style, and superior craftsmanship.

Steel Fabrication Methods
The basic methods of steel fabricating includes cutting or burning, forming, machining, or welding. Let’s go over how some of these services work.
Machining
Machining involves shaving away parts of the metal to make the desired object. Fabricators use lathes, mills and drills to complete this task.
Cutting / Burning
Cutting, or commonly known as jet cutting, is an abrasive process that uses high pressure water to cut any material with great precision. And does so with no distortion.
Welding
Welding is the most common form of steel fabrication. Fabricators use this process to bend or combine pieces to make them one piece.
Proper fabrication of steel allows for expert use for gates, fences, railings and more. And as trusted contractors on Long Island, we can get you the materials you need.
7 Basic Materials Involved with Steel Fabrication
When it comes to steel fabrication, there are a few different raw materials to use. So when you know which items to keep on site helps speed up the fabrication process. Here are some of the basic materials to use for any metal fabrication project.
1) Plate Metal
Fabricators use this to shape the pieces that are working with. Plate metal makes sure they have all options available.
2) Fittings
The use of fittings is needed for creating and completing almost any job.
3) Castings
Castings add a visual interest during the steel fabrication process. Making sure you have some on hand can speed up the creation process.
4) Formed and Expanded Metal
Expanded metal is grate-like. So it is suits things like outdoor furniture that need to be able to let moisture flow off.
5) Sectional Metal
“L” beams and “Z” shapes are common types of sectional metals. Bar metal and rod metal also commonly used.
6) Flat Metal
Flat metal like sheet metal and plate metal are all great for fabrication. Add flat metal to pieces to create visual interest, texture and different shapes.
7) Welding Wire
Since fabrication requires welding metal pieces be together, it is critical to keep various types and thicknesses of welding wire on hand. So you can easily join these pieces with one another.
