About Levi

I’ve lived in this area for over 15 years, and it’s not just where I work — it’s home. I’m a husband, father, and homeowner who understands how important it is to have reliable work you can count on.

With a background in both shop and field welding, I’ve tackled everything from custom gates and trailers to industrial repair and metal art. I’m currently working toward my Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) certification to bring even more value and precision to every job.
