The proof

“I have worked very closely with Ken and his team over the last five years. His quality of work and in field welding repairs are top notch. Steady Steel is extremely amazing when it comes to a welding project: from first conversation, to design, full CAD draws to final product. Steady Steel as a whole is a welding shop I fully recommend. I use no other for our local projects to items needed fabricated for our projects across Canada.”
