Advantage Steel graciously donated both materials and fabrication services for the entire steel structure beyond the basic Veristeel frame. Advantage Steel president Tom Church runs a full-service steel fabrication shop ready to serve your requirements to your exact specifications. They perform on time and pride themselves on offering high-quality service at very competitive prices. All jobs, big or small, are given prime attention by their expert staff and skilled production crew.

Advantage has worked on over 3000 units of internal components for wind turbines from West Texas to Chicago; however, their range is not limited to the Dallas/Fort Worth region, The Hard Rock Café in Baltimore is among their many out of state clients.

Advantage has also done work on a solar energy project in Boulder City Nevada, and the combined cycle energy plant in Lguna Park ,Texas. Advantage is currently involved in a solar project in Indiantown Florida, which is the second largest solar panel unit in the world. Advantage also takes pride in the projects that you have not heard of and probably never will. For example, they created the silhouette of ‘33 Ford from a cardboard cut out that a customer brought in. The SDS programmer took the cutout and drew the image on the computer, and had the shapes made on the spot. Another customer walked in after simply noticing that Advantage was a metal shop. The running board for his ’35 Chevy was rotting out, so Advantage measured the old one and had a new one cut in no time.

Want a custom shaped BBQ pit? Advantage helped a customer fabricate one in the shape of the state of Texas. Advantage Steel also believes in the future of our community. Tom Church and Claude Cain recently received a business award from B.I.S.D. for buying Easter shoes for over 1000 first graders at Jack Binion elementary school over a period of nine years. At Advantage,we are made of metal, butour hearts are made of gold. Furthurmore, Advantage has a once a month cookout for all its' employees, friends, and neighbors. All are invited. Come by any third Thursday around 11:30 and meet us! You'll be glad you did!
