The Family!
Family Owned and Operated
LAB Fabricating was started by Allen Mefford, owner and engineer, in 2014 as a small business. Over time his projects grew bigger and more complex so employees were needed. His two sons Landon and Ben, as well as a family friend Dee Bradshaw, are the workforce that keeps the shop flowing. Ben works in the shop full time while Landon and Dee are full time firefighters and spend most of their off days at the LAB Fabricating shop. Small jobs or large jobs, residential and commercial, we are here to provide the highest quality metal fabrication.
In The Shop
Any size project is welcome in the LAB Fabricating shop. Big or small, we have the tools to build or repair any project that you have. Everything from handrail, stairs or metal artwork is designed and built here.
In The Field
Almost everything we build in the shop we can install in the field. Many of our projects have been installed by our crew. Large handrail projects, handicap ramps, welding repairs and job site support are just some of the things you will find us doing in the field.
