There is welding — and then there is fabrication.
Fabrication isn’t just attaching metal to metal.
It’s shaping, fitting, aligning, and refining.
It’s designing a piece that not only works — but works well, reliably, and for the long run.
At 406Weldfab, we operate at that level.
We build, repair, and reinforce steel with intention:
Clean welds
Correct tolerances
Proper load handling
Strong structure
Professional finish
Because in Montana, things need to do more than look good —
they need to hold up to real use, weather, weight, and time.

Built for Montana Conditions
Montana is not gentle on equipment.
Temperature swings.
Wind.
Snow load.
Ice.
Weight shifts.
Gravel roads.
Work that needs to get done regardless of the weather.
Our welds and fabrication work are made for that reality:
Stronger joints
Correct weld penetration
Structural reinforcement where it matters
Rust-resistant finishing options
Fitment that aligns cleanly and holds its integrity
Durability is not optional here — it’s standard.
Function and Form — Working Together
Steel can be utilitarian.
Steel can also be refined.
We approach each build so that:
It works the way you need it to
It looks clean, intentional, and aligned
Every connection has purpose
Every weld is done with care
Nothing feels improvised or temporary
Your project should work and complement the environment it’s built for — whether that’s a ranch shop, a commercial storefront, or a custom home.

Every project reflects our standards.

That’s why builders and homeowners across Helena call us when they need metal work done right — not just done.
