Why Hire a 6G Certified Welder?
Most metal fabrication shops in Raleigh rely on standard welders or subcontractors to assemble their products. Ultimate Metalworks is different. Owner Chris Roberts holds a 6G AWS Certification.
The 6G certification is the most demanding test in the welding industry. It requires the welder to join pipes at a fixed 45-degree angle without rotating them, meaning the welder must execute perfect welds in overhead, vertical, and horizontal positions simultaneously.
What does this mean for your home? It means the person building your custom handrail, gate, or staircase has proven their ability to create flawless, structurally sound welds under the most difficult conditions. Your metalwork won't just look good. It will be built with industrial-grade integrity.
