Chelan Metalworks is a family-owned business located in Chelan, Washington, dedicated to providing high-quality artistic metal fabrications for both residential and industrial clients. Founded by Jared Major and his uncle, John Masters, the company emerged from Jared's passion for metalwork and his extensive background in diesel mechanics and welding. Jared's journey began in Alaska, where he developed a love for heavy machinery and skilled craftsmanship. He honed his skills working as a heavy diesel mechanic in the copper mines of Arizona and New Mexico and later as a millwright technician for the Trans Alaska Pipeline, where he was recognized for his proficiency in engine rebuilding.
The idea of Chelan Metalworks was ignited after the passing of Jared's mother, leading John to join forces with him to fulfill his dream of owning a business. With John's experience as a successful educator and entrepreneur in Northern California, he brought his community-oriented vision to the partnership. Together, they have built a shop that specializes in a range of metal fabrication services, offering products such as custom furniture, gates, railings, decorative art, and signs through advanced techniques, including CNC plasma cutting.
Chelan Metalworks prides itself on its commitment to quality and creativity, encouraging customers to bring their ideas to the table. With over 20 years of experience and a WABO certification, the company ensures that every project is handled with professional expertise and attention to detail. Chelan Metalworks is a testament to the power of family, passion, and the relentless pursuit of excellence in metal fabrication.
