Steel Service Centers
Find the right steel service centers, fabricators and repairs for your businessBy Kristina Seleshanko Perhaps you're looking to sell steel in large volumes to a local steel service center. Or maybe you want to buy steel at contractor prices from one of the nation's many steel processing centers. Or possibly, you need to find a great fabricator to help you create your steel product. Or maybe you just want to repair some of your steel products. Whichever the case, this guide is for you.
There are many steel shops all over the United States, and each offers a different type of service. Before you target a steel center to do business with, consider which of these types of centers you need:
1. A full steel service center
2. A steel fabrication shop
3. A steel or stainless steel repair shop or product
Find a great full steel service center
Steel service centers buy steel in large quantities. They also create steel products to sell to other businesses or industries, or create steel products to those companies' specifications. For example, a steel shop might do steel sawing, shearing and shape burning. About 45 percent of specialty steel made in the United States comes through a steel center.
Try:
PMD Steel Service Centers are located in California, Nevada, Utah, Washington and Colorado. Steel Service Center, serving Northern New England, sells steel beams and bars, flats, rounds, squares, rebars and much more. Glosser Steel provides shearing and burning, plus sells angle, channel, I beam, mesh and many other steel products. Industrial Quick Search Manufacturer Directory offers a directory of steel service centers to help you find one in your area.
Seek a steel fabrication shop
If you need more than the general processing your typical steel shop provides, it's time to hire a steel fabricator. Fabrication helps create your steel product through cutting and burning, forming, machining and welding pieces of steel together. Sometimes fab shops specialize in one or more of these areas.
Try:
S&S Steel Fabrication provides steel fabrication services in Utah. Steel Fabricators does industrial steel fabrication throughout the Southeast and Caribbean. Dolan's Welding & Steel Fabrication provides a wide range of steel fabricating services in Pennsylvania. J&J Burning & Fabricating offers high quality stainless steel and structural steel fabrications.
Search for steel and stainless steel repair products and services
Once your product is finished, there may be times when you require steel repair. Sometimes your own employees can easily handle the repair. For example, most stainless steel scratch repair is simple for anyone to accomplish. If you include welders among your employees, all they will need for steel repairs is the proper sort of rod. Other times, though, you might need to hire a professional--to fix a steel window or straighten a bent steel wheel, for example.
Try:
Muggy Weld supplies professional-quality welding rods for repairing steel and stainless steel. New Technology Products offers brazing rods for steel. Restore It Yourself sells the "Scratch-B-Gone" contractor's kit and similar products for stainless steel scratch repair. Seekircher Steel Window Repair works on damaged steel windows in over 14 states. Stockton Wheel does steel wheel repair on bent or otherwise damaged wheels.
- Before you purchase a stainless steel scratch repair product, try the "homespun" solution first. Spray a household cleaner (like Formula 409) on the scratch. With a non-metal scouring pad (like Scotch-Brite), rub in the cleaner along the direction of the grain. Rinse the pad frequently, and be sure to keep the surface wet with cleaner the entire time you work.

Steel service centers are basically the middleman between fabricators of the metal and the consumers who purchase it. Buying in bulk from production mills, these establishments store these raw materials until they are purchased by customers. Having a large warehouse or commercial building to house a lot of steel in is a must, as the profit margin diminishes significantly if you are unable to buy in large quantities.
Most of these centers also offer processing services to their customers. This includes the cutting of the steel to the specifications of an order, for length and shape. How much work the center completes for you before delivering the finished product varies from company to company and also depends on your individual budget.
