David J Gilkeson
Precision Welding was born out of the desire to take ordinary things and make them faster, better and stronger. Precision Welding’s founder, David J Gilkeson, was born during the golden era of Santa Barbara and naturally gravitated toward the burgeoning hot rod culture that was so prominent back in those wondrous years. Frustrated with the sparse availability and high expense of welding shops to modify his hot rods, the obvious option was to start his own company; he set up shop in his grandmother’s garage. David’s love of the craft fostered the growth of a business that became something more than a hobby. It became apparent that his aptitude and knowledge were sought after in the aircraft industry, residential and commercial construction, bicycle fabrication and prototype ingenuity. Being versatile, knowledgeable, and reliable were the foundation and ethos with which Precision Welding has become one of the premier fabrication shops in the Tri Counties. Precision Welding utilizes superior equipment and highly trained professionals to ensure that they meet and exceed the unique welding and fabrication needs of each and every customer.
