Apply for Welder

IN THE BEGINNING: What started out as a childhood dream of owning a “Hot Rod Shop” later led to learning the trade of welding and pursuing the love of custom metal fabrication. Finally, the original dream became a reality in 2010 when Inspired Images Restoration and Fabrication was open for business. Specializing in welding and auto restoration services at that time, but soon found a growing need for our expertise in other industries, as well. TOWARD THE FUTURE: Since our motto has always been, “If it’s metal, we can do it!” we expand our welding, restoration and fabrication services to include sandblasting, powder coating, finishing and as of early 2024 fiber laser cutting, and CNC metal forming. With a bigger focus on metal manufacturing and tube frame fabrication for the automation industry, as well as fabricating displays and fixtures for the retail and restaurant industries. Due to the company’s growth and focused attention on additional industries, the company was rebranded to accommodate those changes. As of January 2024, Inspired Images Restoration and Fabrication has become Welded Metals. In addition, we are looking forward to moving into our new and larger facility in the summer of 2024, to better meet the growing needs of our customers.
