Hi there, this company is 12 years old and has been expanding in work and clientele since day one. I have recently decided to expand the business!!! For this to be done I need good hard working and reliable employees.
We try and keep things pretty light at Generation Sheet Metal. We like to keep a small business mentality while getting our large projects done at the same time.
We do everything from industrial sheet metal work, commercial sheet metal work to residential sheet metal work. I have employees that have worked for me for 8 years as well as some for 3 weeks ( did not show up to work haha).
