Not all fabrication is the same.

You'll probably see this in person on the next AIA tour... but here is a sneak peek. 

We were happy to answer the call When the wonderful people over at John Lum Architecture called. See, they had some trouble and it turns out that what we have been saying all along is true. Not all fabrication is alike. You see there are structural guys that build beams, and then there are architectural people like ourselves. Well, the client had to find out the hard way. They hired a structural firm to do their rails.... bad decision, because the welds were awful and fabrication was sloppy. The poor client had to tear out the old railing and replace it....luckily for them we were able to help out. Before you get stuck and have to rip out some sloppy job or worse and have to live with it. Give us a ring.  Oh BTW if you have exposed structural beams give us a call. We can make them pretty. Steel might be a structural product but it doesn't have to look like it.

Oh...btw, if you need custom aluminum planter let us know... check it out. They fit like a glove.

Here is a little ornament we fabricated for MAK Studios and The Ornament Design Ball and Auction.  All proceeds went to Alice Water's Edible Schoolyard project...

May you have a peaceful and prosperous new year.

Uh oh.. Chris Choy is at it again.... take an old house in an amazing neighborhood and blow out the front window to take advantage of the view, sprinkle liberal amounts of modern sexiness throughout and you are left with a masterpiece....well, this is what he does... and he does it well. We teamed up with Chris on his latest endeavor and it didn't last a week on the market... check it out here. We helped him out, and we can help you out too.  Planning on renovating?  Give us a ring. We sprinkle well.

Holy smoke!

Just finished a new set of stairs in San Francisco... Beautiful modern remodel with a taste of refined industrial materials. Clear finished hot rolled steel stringers with perforated sheet infill for the railing, which was also clear coated adds a refined taste of industrial chic to this San Francisco Victorian remodel. The exterior railing is anodized aluminum which matches their sliding door and will NEVER rust. The light color helps it fade into the skyline to help you catch the glint of sun off the Cathedral and golden gate bridge in the distance. Need some rails?

So look who is legal.. now we can VOTE! September 1st was our 18th birthday and now we will be voting for our favorite views (interpret that as you may) The point is, You bought the view.. you should enjoy the VIEW not the railing.. well.. you should enjoy the railing as well so long as you don't sacrifice the view...This roof deck looking down on the Sea Cliff dist in SF just so happens to have quite the spectacular landmark in its purview....gosh where is an english major when you need one...The Anodized aluminum rail will NEVER rust.. it just can't! The only thing that will out last that bridge view is aluminum. They had a steel railing up here that lasted them a year... then they called us. This modular system snapped together in a breeze. You can do it yourself or you could have your contractor do it...or you could not only have us fabricate it.. we could install it as well... go on..give us a ring.
