The Founder

40+ Years of Metal
Fabrication Mastery

Jim Doll began his career in metal fabrication in 1978, building a reputation across the mega-yacht and commercial marine markets. Those same skills — precision welding, complex geometry, demanding tolerances — apply to any industry that needs metal done right.

DolFab works to the highest standards in the industry. Our welders are ABS-certified to unlimited thickness, carrying certifications in both MIG and TIG welding across aluminum, stainless steel, and steel.

"Creatively solves the puzzle, with an end result that is extremely safe and reliable."
