Structural Welding & Metalwork in East Texas

Strength, precision, and clean lines—delivered by a crew that welds for real-world conditions. Frazier Construction provides in-house structural welding and custom metalwork for residential, commercial, and public-sector projects across East Texas. With two American Welding Association (AWA)–certified team members, we are among the few local contractors equipped to deliver full structural steel capabilities alongside general construction.

Certified Welding That Puts Structure First

This isn’t decorative-only work—we fabricate and install steel that carries load, resists movement, and stands up to wind, splash, and heavy use. Whether we’re setting steel supports for a new deck, framing a dock, building a pergola with long, clean spans, or completing government subcontract anchors, our focus is structural integrity and lasting performance.

Typical structural scopes we deliver:

Steel posts, beams, ledger/knife plates, and brackets for decks, covers, and additions
Dock and gangway frames, shore-access structures, and tie-ins at lakefront properties
Pergola and canopy frames with slim profiles and minimal deflection
Stair stringers, landings, and code-compliant guard/handrail systems
Embedded plates, anchor layouts, equipment mounts, and safety anchors for commercial spaces

Open water changes the rules. Gust loads, splash, and corrosion demand smarter detailing from the first cut. We select steel profiles and coatings for the environment, then design connections that manage movement and drainage so moisture doesn’t get trapped where it can do harm.

Hot-dip galvanizing or high-grade powder coatings based on exposure
Stainless or hot‑dipped galvanized fasteners, hangers, and anchors near splash zones
Weep/drain paths in closed shapes to prevent hidden moisture
Bracing and fastening schedules tuned to wind exposure and span
View‑first rail options (slender pickets or cable) that meet code while preserving sightlines

Built for Lakefront & Wind-Exposed Sites

Fabrication + Install, Start to Finish

Keeping fabrication and installation under one roof means tighter tolerances, cleaner fits, and faster scheduling. After a site visit, we field-verify dimensions, produce shop drawings, and fabricate in-house. Components arrive staged and protected for efficient installation, and field welds are cleaned and coated to spec.

Our production flow: field verify → shop drawings → fabrication → coating/galvanizing → on‑site fit‑up → final welds/torque checks → QA sign‑off.

Pair Steel With Our Other Trades

Steel is often the backbone of a bigger build. Because we also handle framing, decks, docks, pergolas, and remodels, we integrate metalwork without hand‑offs or delays. One crew, one schedule, one warranty—whether we’re creating a steel subframe for a lakeside deck or installing welded stair/rail packages inside a commercial space.

Engineering, Codes & Documentation

When an engineer’s stamp is required, we coordinate early so sizes, connections, and anchors are right the first time. We provide the documentation your reviewers need—cut sheets, coating specs, torque values—so permits and inspections move smoothly.

Collaboration with structural engineers for stamped drawings when required
Code-compliant guard heights, graspable handrails, and opening limitations
Anchor patterns and torque specs documented for closeout packages

A Legacy of Craftsmanship and Trust

Why Choose Us for Framing, Docks, Pergolas & More in East Texas

Choosing a welding partner who understands East Texas lakes, rural sites, and local rules makes a measurable difference. With 55 years of family craftsmanship, in‑house AWA‑certified fabrication, and lakefront know‑how, we design and deliver steel solutions—frames, docks, pergolas, rails, and anchors—that fit the site, the loads, and your long‑term maintenance goals.

East Texas & lake expertise: Frequent work around Cedar Creek Lake, Lake Livingston, Lake Palestine, Kaufman County, and Elkhart means site‑driven detailing for wind, splash/corrosion, drainage, and access.
AWA‑certified, in‑house metalwork: Steel posts, long spans, and slim profiles engineered for gusts and shoreline exposure—backed by shop drawings, tight tolerances, and clean field fits.
HOAs, shorelines & permits: We provide drawings and product cut sheets and coordinate approvals so rail heights, openings, coatings, and anchors meet community and code requirements.
Clear scopes, flexible delivery: Fabrication + install under one roof, line‑item estimates, documented torque/coating specs, and a one‑year workmanship warranty.
Integrated trades: Welding paired with our framing, deck, dock, and pergola crews keeps schedules tight and responsibilities clear—one team, one warranty.

Site Walk & Goals – Confirm loads, spans, exposure (wind/splash), access, and aesthetics.
Scope & Itemized Estimate – Steel sizes, coatings, anchors, rail profiles, and installation plan.
Drawings/Engineering – Shop drawings; coordinate stamps where needed.
Fabrication & Coating – Cut, fit, weld, and protect components for the field environment.
Installation & QA – Set, level, weld/bolt, torque; coat touch‑ups; final inspection and walkthrough.
