Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from custom metal fabrication in Stratford
Material picked by use
Mild steel, stainless, aluminum, galvanized steel, tube, plate, mesh, and grating each solve different problems. The material choice follows load, corrosion, weight, and appearance.
Parts made installable
Large fabrications are broken into sections that can be shipped, carried through the site, and fastened in the right order. A beautiful one-piece weldment is a problem if it cannot fit through the door.
Finish sequenced correctly
Galvanizing, powder coating, stainless finishing, and field touch-ups have to be planned around welds, holes, and final assembly. Finish decisions made late create avoidable rework.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
We support your custom metal fabrication with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
Our Process
How we specify, fabricate, and deliver Custom Metal Fabrication
Custom Metal Fabrication is custom-fabricated or coordinated for commercial, industrial, municipal, institutional, retail, and construction sites, where fit, access, durability, and site conditions matter more than a stock product. The Grate Guys builds custom metal fabrication around drawings, measurements, traffic duty, finish exposure, and installation constraints using mild steel, structural steel, galvanized finish, powder-coat, stainless details, or aluminum where the site calls for it, made to order in our Toronto shop, licensed, insured, and WSIB-covered, with a workmanship warranty on every order, supplied and installed across the GTA and shipped Canada-wide.
- 01 Send your inquiry, drawings, photos, or a description of what you need.
- 02 We come measure and assess the Stratford site (or work from your specs and drawings).
- 03 We fabricate your custom metal fabrication to spec in our shop, finished for the conditions.
- 04 We return to deliver and install it, set, levelled, and done right on site.
