Steel Fabrication & Welding in Los Angeles, CA
Moment frames under tuck-under apartments, hillside columns, and stair towers in converted brick lofts.
Get a free quoteThe apartment stock here is full of dingbats — wood-frame boxes over open tuck-under parking — and the remedy is almost always steel: moment frames, cantilever columns, new footings, and welded joints signed off by a deputy inspector. That single building type drives more structural steel demand in this city than anything else.
The hillside houses are the other half of it. In Beachwood Canyon, Mount Washington and the streets above Silver Lake, a deck or a rear addition means grade beams, caissons and steel posts, often craned over a roof because there is no side yard and no room to swing a beam off the street.
Downtown and the Arts District pull in a different direction: brick-and-timber conversions needing egress stairs, mezzanines and guardrail that meet code without fighting the building. LADBS treats structural welding as a special inspection item, so connections have to be detailed for real access and fit-up on site.

What Los Angeles calls us for
Seismic Retrofit Steel
Soft-story apartment buildings across the city need moment frames and columns installed in tight parking bays with inspector sign-off at every weld.
Structural Steel Fabrication
Hillside additions rely on beams and posts sized to span down to caissons where there is no usable footing at grade.
Steel Stairs & Mezzanines
Adaptive reuse of downtown warehouse floors depends on new stair towers and mezzanine framing that solve egress inside an existing shell.
