Why galvanized steel
Galvanized steel is one of the most durable forms of corrosion protection available. The zinc coating protects the steel from rust and other forms of corrosion — and can extend the lifespan of the steel by 50–80 years.

Word on the street
Extremely professional gentleman. Very knowledgeable and had a custom job in order to meet compliance. The balusters look clean/sharp and extremely sturdy. Not to mention smooth installation and removal — definitely would recommend.
Anthony and team did a great job replacing our patio stairs. He's an excellent communicator, has fair pricing, and great craftsmanship — highly recommend!
I had a relatively small job that required cutting old wrought iron and rewelding. Not a job that attracts a lot of interest, so I was very happy to find someone who treated my needs with interest, courtesy and professional service.
Really wonderful experience getting my porch canopy and railings repaired and completed... 100% would hire again.
AVU Inc repaired our steel porch and painted it. Anthony was incredibly professional and communicated clearly from start to finish.
AVU does great work, everyone takes pride in their work and they work hard. Very communicative with you at all times.
Highly recommend! Anthonys work is great he has great communication skills, attention to detail and is very reliable.
Anthony was very easy to work with and responded very quickly to any questions. Strongly recommend for any welding or iron work.
Anthony was very communicative and came out promptly and solved our issue. We had a hand railing that became disconnected from the bracket and he welded it back together.
