Introduction
Custom metal welding is an essential part of construction, fabrication, and structural design in Vancouver and across British Columbia. Whether you’re building a modern home, upgrading railings, repairing a steel structure, or creating custom metalwork, professional welding ensures strength, safety, and long-term durability.
At Avangard Steel, we provide high-quality welding services for residential, commercial, and industrial projects throughout Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, and the entire BC region. Our certified welders produce clean, strong, code-compliant welds for every application.
What Custom Metal Welding Includes
Custom welding goes far beyond simple repairs. It involves shaping, joining, and reinforcing metal parts to create structures that are both functional and visually appealing.
Our welding services include:
- Structural welding for beams, posts, frames, and supports
- Custom stair and railing welding
- Welding for fences, gates, and architectural metalwork
- On-site welding for repairs and modifications
- Fabrication welding in our controlled shop environment
- Precision welding for stainless steel and aluminum
Why Welding Quality Matters
Welding is one of the most important elements in steel construction. A good weld is nearly invisible, incredibly strong, and built to last. A poor weld, however, can cause early failure, structural issues, or safety risks.
High quality welding ensures:
- Structural Integrity: Strong joints that hold under pressure and load.
- Longevity: Welds that resist cracking, corrosion, and fatigue.
- Safety: Compliance with BC building codes and engineering standards.
- Clean Aesthetics: Smooth, uniform welds ideal for exposed elements.
Our Welding Process
Every custom welding project follows a detailed, controlled workflow to ensure accuracy and durability.
- Consultation: We review your design, drawings, or repair needs.
- Material Selection: Steel, stainless steel, or aluminum based on project needs.
- Preparation: Cutting, cleaning, beveling, and fitting metal components.
- Welding: Certified MIG, TIG, or stick welding depending on the material and environment.
- Finishing: Grinding, cleaning, powder coating, or galvanizing as needed.
- Installation or Delivery: On-site installation or shop-fabricated delivery across BC.
Types of Welding We Use in Vancouver
Different projects require different welding techniques. Our welders are certified in multiple methods to ensure the right fit for every job.
MIG Welding (GMAW)
Fast, strong, and ideal for structural steel. Perfect for frames, beams, posts, and custom fabrication.
TIG Welding (GTAW)
Precision welding for stainless steel, aluminum, and high-end architectural work. TIG produces the cleanest, most attractive welds.
Stick Welding (SMAW)
Excellent for outdoor conditions and on-site repairs, especially where weather or access is challenging.
