Sanitary stainless flange, TIG
Schedule 40 stainless pipe fused to a cast flange with a back-purged TIG root and a clean rainbow heat tint. Pressure-tight the first time.
From a cracked trailer hitch to a 150-gallon 316 stainless tank, Jsquared handles repairs, custom fabrication, automotive builds and CNC plasma cutting. In our Mira Mesa shop or fully mobile at your site.
Jose Serrano, owner and lead fabricator, runs every job himself. Small repairs, short production runs and full custom builds all get the same prep, the same fit-up and the same clean bead.
Security gates, trailers, hitches, gym equipment, patio furniture, brackets. If it broke, we fix it stronger than it was.
Railings, tanks, frames, signage, enclosures and one-off pieces built from your sketch, photo or drawing.
Exo cages, bumpers, roof racks, flatbed lift installs, exhaust and chassis repair. Built to take a beating off-road.
Signs, brackets, gussets, art panels and production parts cut from DXF or a sketch. Tight tolerances, clean edges.
Sanitary tanks, schedule 40 pipe, NPT bungs on existing aluminum tanks, marine fittings. Purged, clean, pressure-tight.
Full rig comes to your home, jobsite, yard or dock anywhere in San Diego County. No haul, no downtime.

Some jobs can't be moved: a gate hanging off its hinge, a trailer stuck in the yard, a liftgate on a truck that needs to be back in service tomorrow. Jsquared is 100% mobile across San Diego County with a generator-powered rig for MIG, stick and TIG.
Bring a sketch, a photo or just the idea. We measure, pick the metal and the process, and give you a straight number.
Parts come off the CNC plasma table or the saw to the drawing. Fit-up is checked before a single tack.
TIG for stainless and aluminum, MIG for structural steel. Purged and ground where it matters.
