FAQ

QUESTIONS WE HEAR.

Are you licensed and certified for public works projects? +
Yes. Charles Custom Welding holds California Contractors License No. 1008475, is registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR No. 1000032537) for prevailing-wage public works, and is Small Business Certified (No. 2025738). Owner Lucas Charles is a certified welder — 6G SMAW, FCAW and GMAW pipe certified and AWS D1.1 structural steel certified.
Do you travel to the job site, or is it shop-only? +
Both. We run mobile rig welding and on-site fabrication across the North Bay, and we also do shop fabrication when that's the better fit. We'll do whatever gets your project done right and on time.
What kinds of welding and fabrication do you handle? +
Pipe fabrication, structural steel, and ornamental iron are the core. That covers process piping, water and sewer plant welding, tank welding, structural steel installation, ADA-compliant railings, guardrails, custom gates, handrails, truck beds and racks, and stainless winery equipment.
Do you do emergency and heavy-equipment repair? +
Yes. We handle emergency welding repairs and heavy-equipment repair, including limited-entry-access welding for tight or confined work that other shops turn down.
What areas do you serve? +
Petaluma is home base, and we work throughout the North Bay — Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Sonoma, Novato, San Rafael, Marin and Napa counties. Larger public-works and structural jobs travel further.
