Your Mountain-Area Metal Partner in Lake Tahoe, CA
Lake conditions—sun, snow, freeze–thaw—demand smart material choices and protective coatings. Our team pairs traditional craft with disciplined process control: clean parting lines, accurate registration, thoughtful gating/risers, controlled burnouts and pours, and chase work that preserves the artist’s hand. Whether you need one bronze, a short edition, or a custom metal base, we deliver repeatable quality and clear communication.
Metal Finishing & Fabrication (Lake Tahoe, CA)
Precision Fabrication, Welding & Assembly
We fabricate bases, armatures, brackets, plaques, hardware, and display fixtures in steel, stainless, aluminum, and bronze. Expect square fit-ups, distortion control, and tidy TIG/MIG welds ready for patina, polish, or clear coat.
Surface Prep & Finishes for Indoor/Outdoor Display
From brushed or mirror-polished stainless to bead-blast textures and sealed cold-rolled steel, our finishing shop is set up for consistent grinds and uniform sheen. For exterior work around Lake Tahoe, we specify coatings that resist UV, moisture, and de-icing salts.
Patina Craft & Surface Color
Traditional Browns/Blacks & Contemporary Color
We develop stable hot and cold patinas—from warm statuary browns and deep blacks to fresh greens and blues. You’ll receive sample coupons to lock in color, value, and topcoat before final application.
Maintenance & Restoration (Conservation)
Re-patination, Protective Coatings & Repairs
Freeze–thaw can stress metal. We clean and stabilize surfaces, even-out color, repair welds or fasteners, and apply UV-resistant coatings. We also provide annual care schedules for outdoor bronzes and architectural details.
