Questions about DM Welding in the Antelope Valley and San Fernando Valley
Steel, sizes, options, delivery and how a quote works. If yours is not here, call either shop and ask.
The Basics
Steel, builds and estimates
Do you do welding repair, at the shop or on site?
Yes. Bring the part to the Lancaster or Sun Valley shop, or we bring the welder to you anywhere in the Antelope Valley. We weld steel only, with MIG, stick and flux-core, and a photo of the break is often enough to tell us whether it is a shop job or a site job.
What steel do you build with?
We fabricate from AR400 through AR500 abrasion-resistant steel, 3/16 to 3/8 inch, sized to the load and the job.
Do you build custom sizes?
Yes. Every dump body, trailer, gate, and fence is built to your spec. Bring us the truck, the opening, or the drawings.
Do you build gates and fences?
Yes. We fabricate steel driveway gates, security gates, fencing and railing in our own shops, and we repair them with welding.
What options can you add?
On our bodies and trailers: telescopic hoists, air gates with a double lock, electric tarps, and air ride on the end dump trailers. They go on as part of the build.
Where are you located and do you deliver?
We run two shops, one in Lancaster and one in Sun Valley. We serve the Antelope Valley, Santa Clarita and the San Fernando Valley, and ship custom bodies statewide.
