The two metals most shops send somewhere else.
Plenty of shops weld steel. Far fewer will take aluminum or stainless, and that is the reason people end up driving around with a broken part in the back of the truck. Aluminum is unforgiving: it conducts heat away fast, it does not change colour before it melts, and the oxide layer melts far hotter than the metal underneath, so it goes from looking fine to falling through in a moment. Stainless moves and warps as it heats, and it has to be kept clean or the corrosion resistance you paid for is gone. Both reward patience, heat control and a steady hand more than raw power. Late Night Fabrication welds aluminum and stainless as normal work, not as a favour — alongside everyday steel. If you have been told no somewhere else, this is the call worth making.
The shop is at 96 Pecan Ln #104 in Clayton, about twenty minutes southeast of Raleigh, and work comes in from across Johnston County and the wider Triangle: Garner, Smithfield, Archer Lodge, Wendell, Zebulon, Knightdale, Willow Spring, Fuquay-Varina, Benson, Selma and Raleigh itself. If the part fits in a truck, it can come to the shop.
Tell us what you need made or fixed — a custom part, a cracked casting, a handrail, a gate, a frame, or a run of brackets that all have to match. A photo with a tape measure in it answers most questions in one go. Quotes are free, and if a job is not worth doing you will be told that too.
