Our process ensures precision from the initial sketch to the final placement.
Our Streamlined Fabrication Process
Consultation & Design Sketch
We start with a detailed chat about your vision, site specifics, and budget. Our designer then creates initial sketches, typically delivered within 3 business days.
Detailed Engineering & Approval
Once the concept is solid, our engineers refine the design for structural integrity and optimal material use. You'll receive CAD drawings for final approval within 5–7 working days.
Precision Fabrication
Our workshop crew, averaging 6 years of experience with specialty metals, precisely cuts, welds, and forms your Corten steel piece. This stage usually takes 2–3 weeks depending on complexity.
Patina Development (Optional)
While Corten steel naturally rusts, we offer an accelerated patination service, which can give your piece a more developed, uniform look within a few days, compared to several months outdoors.
Secure Delivery & Installation
Your finished product is carefully transported and expertly installed by our team, ensuring proper placement and stability. Installations in the Downtown/Northwood district typically occur within a 20-minute window.

Emily R., Business OwnerFAQ
How long does it take for Corten steel to develop its rust patina?
Naturally, Corten steel begins to develop its protective rust layer within a few weeks of exposure to weather. A full, stable patina typically forms within 6 to 18 months, depending on local climate conditions (humidity, rainfall).
Does Corten steel bleed rust onto surrounding surfaces?
During the initial patination process, some rust runoff can occur. This is more pronounced in the first few months. We can advise on sealant options or design considerations to minimize staining on light-colored concrete or paving, if it's a concern for your project.
What kind of maintenance does Corten steel require?
Practically none! The rust layer acts as a protective barrier, eliminating the need for painting or regular sealing. Just an occasional rinse with water is usually sufficient to remove any dirt buildup.
Can Corten steel be welded or modified after installation?
Yes, Corten steel can be welded and modified. However, any new welds or cut surfaces will need to go through the patination process again to match the existing finish. We recommend discussing any potential future modifications during the design phase.
