If you’ve driven through the Central Coast and admired the ornamental metal work featured on many of the area’s homes and commercial buildings, there’s a good chance Tom George had a hand in its creation. Tom is a third-generation contractor who grew up in the area – and the industry – and opened Coastal Fabrication Company in 2008. Working with metal is his passion and, from intricate iron railings and staircases to custom structural steel, Tom’s love for the craft is evident.

Coastal Fabrication Company has a reputation for delivering innovative, high-quality products to homeowners and businesses. To keep pace with the demands of an ever-expanding client list, Tom has grown his team of specialized tradesmen, and the company now operates from two locations, both financed with SBA 504 loans. Tom says owning the buildings delivers financial security and peace of mind that gives him the freedom to plan well into the future.

Nearly 20 years after starting his company, Tom looks back with pride on what he has built, both within his company and for his many clients. Putting in the long hours has been worth the effort because, as he says, the work still fuels and inspires his creativity every day.
