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 son Ben, and a family friend Justin Parker, are the workforce that keeps the shop flowing. 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.
