FabLab808 in Haleiwa, HI, is a metal fabrication shop and licensed general contractor specializing in custom residential and light commercial metalwork. Founded by an architect and master metal fabricator, the team brings over five years of experience to projects like deck construction, fence and gate installation, and ornamental railings. Operating from a 1,000-square-foot workshop on Oahu’s North Shore, they focus on aluminum fabrication—a rust-resistant, lightweight alternative to steel—and also work with stainless steel, bronze, and glass. With hundreds of proprietary extruded shapes, they can create custom stairs, canopies, trellises, and automatic gates. All products are made in Hawaii and built to last, with finishing options like powder coating and anodizing. The owner holds a 100-ton Merchant Marine Captain’s license and brings a surf-traveler’s appreciation for the 808 lifestyle of aloha and respect. Whether you need a new deck, gate repair, or a unique metal structure, FabLab808 emphasizes hands-on design, quality welding, and customer satisfaction. They fabricate and install across the Hawaiian Islands, and welcome appointments to visit their shop.
FAQs
How does FabLab808 help with common local fencing issues in Haleiwa, like salt air corrosion?
In Haleiwa, the coastal salt air can cause standard steel fences and gates to rust quickly. FabLab808 addresses this by specializing in aluminum fabrication, which won't rust over time. They also offer weatherproofing services, including powder coating and anodizing, to add an extra layer of protection against the elements. For existing fences or gates, they can repair and apply weather-resistant finishes to extend their lifespan.
Can you design and install a custom automatic gate for my property near Waimea Bay?
Yes. FabLab808 designs and installs both manual and automatic gates. They can incorporate custom metalwork with aluminum, stainless steel, or bronze to match your home’s style. Their team handles the full process, from design to installation, and can integrate automation systems for convenient access. They serve the entire North Shore, including areas near Waimea Bay and other landmarks.
What’s involved in a deck replacement, and how long does it typically take?
Deck replacement starts with assessing the existing structure and removing old materials. FabLab808 then fabricates new components—often using their proprietary aluminum shapes for durability—and installs the deck with attention to detail. Timelines vary based on size and complexity, but they work efficiently from their Haleiwa shop. They also offer deck construction and repair services for smaller projects.
