Metal Work
Structural steel and metal fabrication services support commercial and industrial construction. As your general contractor providing metal work services, we deliver steel erection, custom fabrication, and specialty metal installations for property owners building across DFW.
Metal work in commercial construction ranges from structural steel framing to custom fabricated features. Quality metal work requires understanding material properties, proper welding techniques, corrosion protection, and code compliance for structural applications. These skills distinguish professional metal contractors from welding shops.
DeSoto Concrete Contractors coordinates metal work as part of general contracting services. We work with steel fabricators and erectors, manage structural steel package procurement and installation, and deliver metal components integrated properly with concrete and other building systems.
Metal work services include structural steel erection for buildings, custom metal fabrication for architectural features, stair and railing systems, bollards and protective barriers, equipment supports and platforms, canopies and awnings, and miscellaneous metals and attachments.
Coordination between concrete and steel is critical. Anchor bolts must be placed correctly during concrete work for future steel installation. Steel columns require properly sized and located foundations. We manage these interfaces as your general contractor, preventing field conflicts that cause costly delays.

Do you self-perform metal work or coordinate subcontractors?
For most projects, we coordinate specialized steel fabricators and erectors while maintaining overall project responsibility. We self-perform smaller miscellaneous metal work and welding as part of general contracting services.
How do you ensure steel connections to concrete are correct?
We review shop drawings, verify anchor bolt placements during concrete work, confirm elevations and dimensions, and coordinate steel delivery with connection readiness. This prevents field fit-up problems.
What corrosion protection do you provide for structural steel?
Protection options include shop-applied paint or galvanizing, field-applied coatings, fireproofing that also provides corrosion protection, and stainless steel for harsh environments. We specify protection appropriate for exposure conditions.
Can you fabricate custom metal elements for projects?
Yes, we coordinate custom metal fabrication for architectural features, equipment supports, specialty structures, and unique project requirements. Our fabrication partners can produce virtually any required metal component.
