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… Robert Daymon2023-10-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

No, we do not provide on site welding services.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
