Precision-forged steel for spaces that demand permanence.
From architectural railings to structural frameworks, we fabricate metal components built to endure — with the kind of attention to tolerances that most shops skip.
Services built around precision, not volume.
Custom Fabrication
One-off pieces and small batches — from decorative brackets to functional hardware — cut, welded, and finished to your exact specifications.
Architectural Ironwork
Staircases, railings, gates, and decorative elements that merge structural integrity with clean, contemporary design.
Structural Steel
Beams, columns, and support systems for commercial and residential projects — engineered, fabricated, and installed on schedule.
Restoration & Repair
Reviving historic metalwork and repairing damaged structures — we match original specifications or upgrade for modern performance.
Commercial Contracts
Ongoing fabrication capacity for general contractors, architects, and developers. Reliable turnaround on recurring orders.
Design Consultation
Early-stage input on material selection, joinery methods, and finish options — so the final piece fits the space and the budget.
From concept to installation — no surprises.
Consultation
We discuss your project scope, timeline, and budget. If it's a new build, we review plans together. If it's a replacement, we measure and assess on site.
Fabrication
Your piece is cut, formed, and welded in our Vancouver shop. We send progress photos at key stages so you can see exactly what's being built.
Finishing
Surface preparation and coating — powder coat, patina, or raw seal — selected for the environment your piece will live in.
Installation
We handle delivery and mounting, or coordinate with your contractor. Every joint is checked, every finish is inspected before we sign off.

Vulture Metalworks started as a one-person operation in a borrowed bay — focused on getting the weld clean and the fit right before anything else. That standard hasn't changed, even as the shop has grown.
We're a full-service fabrication shop located in Vancouver, Washington. Our work spans residential custom pieces, commercial architectural elements, and structural steel for new construction. Every project — whether it's a single bracket or a full staircase — gets the same level of attention to detail.
We work with carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and bronze. Finishes range from raw and oiled to powder-coated or patinated, depending on where the piece will live.

Whether you have blueprints or just an idea, we'll help you figure out the right approach — materials, method, timeline, and cost — before anything is committed.
