3 Reasons You Might Need Professional Custom Fabrication Services

/in , /by

At R.C. Portable Welding & Fabrication, we know the value of professional custom fabrication services. After all, we have been in business, serving Wisconsin and Northern Illinois, for over 30 years. Our extensive experience and expertise in metal working allow us to both easily assess damaged metal items and develop plans for and build new ones. Though there are many amateur welders out there, some projects really call for professionals with our levels of understanding and professionalism to get the job done right.  

To Fix Unique Metal Items

One of the major reasons you might turn to a professional fabrication company is if you need someone to fix a unique metal item. Unique items may have more sentimental value for you and, therefore, may require careful assessment and repair. For example, if you have a custom-built metal gate or an antique family nameplate that has been damaged, you may be able to have the item fixed by professional fabricators and welders. 

Depending on the damage they have suffered, items like these might seem beyond repair, but be careful about making that assumption without the evaluation of a professional. Many metal items with dings and cracks, and even full splits, can be easily repaired through professional welding and fabrication services. 

To Stylishly Improve Safety

You might also consider using professional custom fabrication services to improve safety on your property. For example, if you have a deck or stairs at your home or business, having metal handrails fabricated and installed is the way to keep yourself and your guests safe. In fact, sturdy handrails are required where there are three or more steps. 

But, don’t just think about utility here! Adding metal handrails is also an opportunity to add something beautiful and stylish to your property. Our custom metal handrails serve both purposes by improving safety and increasing visual appeal.   

 To Add Value To Your Property

Speaking of increasing appeal, whether it’s your home or your commercial space, custom-fabricated items can also increase your property’s financial value. One of the most significant ways a custom fabrication can achieve this is by adding usable space to your property. A custom-built metal deck can do just that! 

At R.C. Portable Welding & Fabrication, we build metal decks entirely to your requirements and specifications. That means you can choose a design and size that will best suit your needs and will be best for expanding your residential or commercial space, while also increasing your property value with this beneficial addition.

How Can A Residential Welding Project Add Value To My Home?

/in , , /by

When people think of a welding project for their home, they might imagine something small or primarily decorative. However, a custom welding project can be something much grander. R.C. Portable Welding & Fabrication has created many unique residential welding projects that have elevated the overall look of a room, outdoor space, or the entire home, often while also adding utility. By adding something completely unique to your home, property value tends to increase in a few different ways.

Adding Beauty

There are many reasons people turn to us for custom welding projects. One of them is our ability to create distinctive pieces. As opposed to choosing something “off the shelf” at a home improvement store, our exclusive metal items will not be found in your average new build home or apartment complex. If you are tired of generic features with little visual interest, R.C. Portable Welding & Fabrication’s residential welding projects may be for you.

And property appraisers will take positive note of such additions, particularly if they are tasteful and not overly customized to your taste. Indeed, you will probably want to avoid having your family name welded into a garden gate if your goal is increasing property value! If that is a priority for you, consider patterns and overall designs that will have more mass appeal as you work with us to construct your piece.

Adding Utility

Many of our custom residential welding projects are aimed at providing a valuable function. For example, we weld custom metal gates to be used as staircase barriers, driveways gates, and more. In addition to their uniquely beautiful appearance, these pieces can add significant value to your home as potential buyers will recognize the appeal of a high-quality and functional item that adds safety and privacy.

Another custom metal piece we commonly fabricate is handrailing. Handrails along staircases and in other potentially hazardous areas are essential for providing stability and general safety. Strong and well-made handrails will be greatly appreciated by all potential buyers, especially those with children or elderly family members who might live in the home.

Add Usable Space

In addition to adding practical utility to your home with items like gates and barriers, our residential welding projects can actually add usable space to your property. We custom-weld metal decks to suit your aesthetic and needs. Outdoor deck space is a highly coveted home upgrade that potential buyers love. If you have underutilized outdoor space, consider having us construct a custom, high-quality metal deck that will withstand the seasons and last for years.

When it comes to resale value, adding a custom metal deck satisfies buyers’ increasing desire for singular outdoor living spaces. This is considered one of the most cost-effective investments homeowners can currently make for improving their home’s value, while also improving their enjoyment of the space.
