How We Work

You Bring the Idea. We Build It.

Moodt Fabrication is a custom metal fabrication shop in Pontiac, Michigan — not a production line. Every project starts with understanding what you need, how it'll be used, and what it needs to withstand. Then we cut, shape, weld, and finish it to spec.

We work from rough sketches, reference photos, dimensions, CAD files, or just a conversation. You don't need engineering drawings to get a quote — just tell us what you're trying to accomplish. Pontiac customers can drop off at the shop; Oakland County and Metro Detroit customers can ship, drop off, or schedule on-site measurement.

Materials We Work With

  • Mild steel — angle, tube, plate, sheet, bar
  • Structural steel — beams, channels, wide flange
  • Aluminum — all alloys, sheet to heavy plate
  • Stainless steel — 304, 316, and others
  • MIG, TIG, and stick welding on all metals
  • Cutting, forming, drilling, and finishing
Pontiac & Oakland County

Custom Fabrication, Local to You

Our shop sits at 1100 Cesar E Chavez Avenue in Pontiac, MI — the historical center of Oakland County's metal trades. Most of our custom fabrication customers are within a 20-minute radius: contractors hauling out of Pontiac, Auburn Hills, and Waterford; property owners in Bloomfield Hills, Rochester Hills, and Lake Orion; and commercial accounts across Troy, Southfield, and Novi.

Being local matters more for custom fabrication than for most trades. Revisions happen. A bracket needs a slight adjustment after the first install. A railing comes back for a second pass. When your fabricator is across the county, that turns into a multi-week problem. Across the corner, it's a quick stop on the way home.

Why Hire a Pontiac Fabricator

  • Shop in the geographic center of Oakland County
  • Walk-in drop-off and pickup during business hours
  • On-site measurement within 30 miles of Pontiac
  • Direct access to the welder doing your job
  • Established relationships with local powder coaters and finishers
  • Fast revisions — no shipping back and forth

What We Build

Custom Fabrication Services

Residential, commercial, and industrial — every project is built to order with no cookie-cutter solutions.

Brackets & Mounts

Custom brackets, equipment mounts, motor plates, and mounting hardware. When an off-the-shelf bracket doesn't exist or doesn't fit, we fabricate exactly what you need.

Railings & Handrails

Steel and aluminum handrails for residential stairs, decks, ramps, and commercial properties. Built to code, designed to last, finished to your spec.

Gates & Fencing

Driveway gates, property gates, security fencing, and decorative metalwork. From simple farm gates to custom designed entry gates — welded and finished in-house.

Structural Steel

Steel beam fabrication, column work, connection plates, and structural reinforcement for construction, renovation, and industrial projects.

One-Off Parts

Replacement parts no longer manufactured, prototype builds, custom machine parts, and specialty hardware. If you need one piece built to spec, that's our specialty.

Commercial & Industrial

Equipment guards, safety barriers, machine bases, tool storage, workstations, and custom fixtures for manufacturing, warehouse, and shop environments.

Industries We Serve

Who Hires Us for Custom Fabrication

Pontiac and Oakland County's mix of trades, industry, and residential customers keeps our custom queue full year-round. Here's where most of our work comes from.

General Contractors

Builders running residential and light commercial projects across Oakland County. Structural brackets, custom railings, embed plates, lintels, and any one-off metal a sub can't source fast enough.

Trades & Subcontractors

Electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, landscapers, fencing crews. Equipment racks, custom mounts, trailer modifications, tool storage, and on-call welding from a shop they can drive to.

Property Owners

Homeowners across Bloomfield Hills, Rochester Hills, and the Oakland County lake region. Custom railings, driveway gates, ornamental fencing, fire pits, and decorative metalwork.

Small Manufacturers

Pontiac and Auburn Hills production shops needing prototype work, jigs, fixtures, machine bases, equipment guards, and short-run parts that don't justify a full production setup.

Fleet & Equipment

Construction crews, landscaping fleets, and equipment dealers. Custom trailer mods, hitch upgrades, ramp fabrication, equipment racks, and welded repairs that need to hold up.

Restoration & Restaurant

Old building restoration, historic property repairs, and commercial kitchen / restaurant builds. Stainless workstations, fixtures, custom shelving, signage brackets, and decorative ironwork.

Common Questions

Custom Fabrication FAQ

Mild steel, structural steel, aluminum (all common alloys), and stainless steel (304, 316, and others). We handle thin-gauge sheet up through heavy structural plate. We do not work cast iron, brass, or copper.
Yes. We work from rough sketches, photos, verbal descriptions, dimensions on a napkin, or formal CAD drawings. You don't need engineering plans to get a quote — most of our custom jobs start with a phone call and a photo.
All three. Residential customers across Oakland County hire us for railings, gates, fences, and decorative metalwork. Commercial accounts cover storefronts, equipment mounts, dumpster enclosures, and security work. Industrial clients use us for production parts, machine bases, structural reinforcement, and equipment repair.
Call (248) 520-3639, email info@moodtfabrication.com, or use the form on this page. Photos plus dimensions speed quoting dramatically — a clear picture and a tape measure beat a paragraph of description every time. For larger projects we'll visit the site to measure.
Yes — one-off parts and prototypes are a core part of what we do. Single custom brackets, replacement parts no longer manufactured, prototype builds for product development, and specialty hardware. We're not a high-volume production shop, which is exactly why we can take small orders.
Small jobs (single brackets, simple repairs, basic railings) are usually 3–7 business days from approved quote to pickup. Mid-size projects (gates, mounting systems, custom builds) run 1–3 weeks. Large or complex jobs are quoted with a specific lead time at approval. Rush work is sometimes possible — ask when you call.
We grind, polish, and prep all welds in-shop. Painting and powder coating are typically subcontracted to local finishers we work with regularly — Pontiac and Oakland County have excellent powder coat shops within a few miles of us. Hot-dip galvanizing is also coordinated through trusted partners. Quotes can include finished pricing.
Yes — most of our work is across Oakland County and Metro Detroit. We have dedicated city pages for Pontiac, Troy, Rochester Hills, Royal Oak, Auburn Hills, Bloomfield Hills, Novi, Farmington Hills, Southfield, and a dozen more. Shop drop-off works for any address; on-site fabrication and measurement happen within a 30-mile radius.
