About Us

about-image-one

J.E.F. Fabrication has been in business since 1989.

J.E.F. Fabrication has been serving the Houston area since 1989. Growing from a small backyard shop with just the knowledge of our founder, Jimmie Fehrle, and a few simple tools all the way to a full-service fabrication company with extensive 3D modeling and CNC capabilities. We have the equipment and experience to complete most fabrication processes in-house, including CNC plate cutting, rolling and bending, and cutting and rolling of tubing and pipes. This allows us to reduce lead times and project bottlenecks. We also install our own projects using our in-house crews to ensure that everything goes according to plan in the field. We also take field measurements, consult with construction site personnel and are happy to supply templates and guidance to help the project go smoothly.
