Custom Metal Fabrication for the Lake Champlain Region

The part you need doesn’t exist. Or it exists, but it doesn’t fit. Or it fit once, but the original manufacturer stopped making it ten years ago. We fabricate brackets, mounts, frames, and structural components when off-the-shelf won’t work – built from your drawings, field measurements, or the old part that needs replacing.

Parts That Don’t Exist Anymore

Replacement components for equipment that’s out of production
Discontinued brackets, mounts, or fittings with no aftermarket options
Legacy parts that need to match what’s already installed

Parts That Never Existed

Custom brackets and mounts for non-standard installations
Structural components designed around site-specific constraints
One-off solutions for problems no catalog anticipated

Parts That Exist But Don’t Fit

Stock components that are close but not close enough
Fabrication needed to bridge the gap between spec and reality
Modifications to make standard parts work in non-standard conditions

Why Off-the-Shelf Parts Fail in the Field

Standard parts are built around ideal conditions that rarely exist in the field. Job sites shift, waterfront structures move, and equipment gets modified over time. Custom fabrication bridges the gap between what catalogs assume and what actually fits by building parts around real measurements and real conditions.

Catalog tolerances assume ideal installs that don’t account for tight clearances, uneven surfaces, or existing constraints

Existing structures are rarely square after years of use, repairs, and settling

Seasonal movement changes alignment as temperature swings, moisture, and load cycles shift components over time

Field realities outpace standard parts when equipment, docks, or frames have already been altered or reinforced

Fabrication for Contractors, Properties,
and Farms

Structural Brackets, Mounts, and Supports

One-off and small-run fabrication for equipment mounts, structural connections, and support components that need to match specific load and clearance requirements.

Frames and Structural Assemblies

Fabricating frames where strength, alignment, and integration with existing structures matter – for equipment, marine infrastructure, or building applications.

Replacement Components

Reproducing discontinued or unavailable parts based on the original, field measurements, or reverse engineering from what’s left of the failed component.

Fabrication from Drawings

Building parts to spec from contractor drawings, engineer plans, or customer sketches – with questions asked upfront so dimensions are right before cutting starts.

Fabrication from Field Measurements

Producing components based on on-site measurements when drawings don’t exist or don’t reflect current conditions.

When It Makes Sense to Bring Fabrication In

Fabrication issues usually aren’t caused by bad intentions or poor planning. They happen when standard parts are asked to work in situations they weren’t designed for, especially where existing structures, tight clearances, or seasonal movement are involved. Custom fabrication allows parts to be built around those realities instead of forcing the rest of the project to adapt.

Tell Us What You Need,
And We’ll Build It

Describe the part – what it’s for, what it connects to, and what went wrong with the previous solution. If you have drawings, measurements, or photos of the original, include those. If you don’t, we can work from a conversation and figure out dimensions together. We’ll review the details and explain how the fabrication would work and what it takes to get the part built.
