Avtar Steel Works

If you walk down Brown Road, you’ll find us at Main Road 372. That is where Avtar Steel Works is located. It is a busy street, so there is always noise from the traffic mixing with the sounds of our grinders and welding machines. We have been here for a long time, and the shop shows its age, but in a good way. The walls have some soot on them and the floor is never really clean because of all the metal filings. We don’t do any big advertising or have a sleek website. Most of our work comes from people in the neighborhood who need a gate repaired or some custom frames made for their houses. We use a lot of old-fashioned techniques and tools because they still work the best for the kind of custom jobs we do. It’s hot work, especially when the sun is beating down on the roof, but we just keep the fans going and drink plenty of water. We might not look like a corporate business, but we know how to handle steel. We take our measurements seriously because mistakes just cost everyone money and time. It’s just a small group of us here, working hard to stay on schedule. We don't have fancy titles or uniforms; we just wear what’s comfortable and get to work. That’s how things go at our shop on Brown Road every single day.
