 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My job was a small one but the service was excellent and timely. I planned to drop my project off and pick it up another day, dusty met me at the door and ask if I had 5 minutes and completed the work in 3 minutes. Thanks again for your help. I appreciate the personalized service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Naples Custom Metal and Fabrication as I was trying to design a vanity pull by combining two pulls. The project necessitated shaving the back part of the small metal pull where you would generally attach them to the furniture, then binding the two metal pulls to each other. Not only did Dusty turn the job around quicker than I expected, but he gave me advice on how to make the metals best adhere to each other. It worked like a charm, and I am thrilled with the final product…

FAQS

What you should know

Can you provide on-site welding services?

No, we do not provide on site welding services.

Will welded steel rust over time?

Yes, welded steel can rust over time when exposed to moisture and air, especially outdoors. To prevent this, we apply protective coatings like paint, powder coating, or galvanization. For exterior projects, aluminum is often a better choice — it’s naturally corrosion-resistant and built to withstand the elements without rusting.

Can you repair broken metal parts, or do I need to replace them?

In many cases, we can repair steel components effectively. That said—if it’s just an umbrella rod, probably not. We’ll assess the damage and let you know honestly whether a repair is possible or if replacement makes more sense for safety, cost, or durability.

How long does a typical project take?

Timelines vary depending on the scope, but most projects take between 2 to 6 weeks from design approval to completion. We’ll give you a clear timeline during the estimate phase.

Do you offer custom designs, or just fabrication?

Yes, we offer full custom design services. Whether you have detailed plans or just a rough idea, we can help turn your vision into a finished product — from concept to final install.

Will you install the metalwork you build?

Yes — we don’t just build it, we install it too. Our team ensures your custom metalwork is delivered, installed, and finished with precision, so it looks great and performs exactly as it should.
