The Build Board

Every job gets a ticket

In the shop, every build hangs on the board as a job ticket — number, spec, status. Here's a pull from the board. Filter it by what you need done.

What I build & fix

If it's steel, it's in scope

Six things I do all day, every day. If your project doesn't fit a box below, describe it anyway — "something else" is half my board.

Custom Gates & Railings

Driveway gates, stair and deck railings, fence panels. Measured on site, built square, hung so they swing true for twenty years.

Trailers — Build & Repair

New utility and flatbed builds to your spec, plus frame repair, deck swaps, ramps, and axle work on whatever you're towing now.

Structural & Farm Repair

Cracked loader arms, bent implements, broken corral panels, sagging carports. If it broke in the field, I've probably fixed one like it.

Furniture & Firepits

Tables, benches, shelving frames, and plasma-cut firepits that turn a back patio into the place everyone ends up standing around.

Mobile Welding

The rig comes to you — field, jobsite, or driveway. Same clean welds without hauling a broken machine across the county.

CNC Plasma Signs

Ranch signs, address plaques, business logos cut clean from plate on the 4x8 plasma table. Send a sketch — I'll make it steel.

How a build works

No surprises. Just steel.

Walk-through & sketch

Call, text, or send the form. We talk through what you need — on site if it helps — and I sketch it up with real dimensions and material.

Fixed quote, in writing

You get one number for the whole job before any steel gets cut. No hourly creep, no "well, it ran long." The quote is the price.

Build, photos, delivery

I build it and text you photos as it comes together. Then it's delivered, installed if needed, and inspected with you standing there.

Why one guy beats a big shop

Meet Cole Braddock

The hands on your project are the ones you shook. Quote, build, weld, deliver — one person, one standard, one phone number.

Straight answers

Asked at every job site

Do you take small repair jobs?+
Yes. A cracked hitch or a broken gate hinge is a real job to me, not a nuisance. Small repairs usually slot in between bigger builds within a few days — text a photo and I'll tell you what it'll run.
How far will the mobile rig travel?+
Anywhere in the Treasure Valley — Caldwell, Nampa, Middleton, Star, Boise and the farm ground between. Farther out is usually fine too with a small trip charge; text your location and I'll confirm before you commit to anything.
How do quotes work?+
Simple: we talk through the job, I put one fixed number in writing, and that number is what you pay. Material price swings are my problem to manage, not a surprise on your invoice. Quotes are free.
Can I get it powder coated?+
Yes. I prep and partner with a local powder coater for a factory-grade finish in any standard color — tougher and cleaner than rattle-can paint. It's quoted as a line item so you can take it or leave it.
What are lead times like?+
Repairs: usually inside a week. Custom builds: typically two to four weeks depending on the board. I'll give you a real date with the quote — and if the board shifts, you hear it from me before it becomes your problem.
I have an idea but no design. Can you help?+
Absolutely — that's most projects. Bring a photo from the internet, a napkin sketch, or just a rough idea, and I'll turn it into a dimensioned drawing you approve before anything gets cut.
