Cook Fabricating & Welding

Cook Fabricating & Welding sits on Pleasant Green Road in south Longview, in the part of town where the shops have real gravel yards and the work shows up as steel rather than paperwork. The business is listed under fabrication and welding alongside machine shop work, which in East Texas covers a wide territory. Shops like this one are the reason a rancher can get a gate that actually fits the opening, a homeowner can get a cracked trailer tongue put right, and a plant can get a bracket made when the catalog part is six weeks out. Longview's industrial base has kept a healthy number of independent welders and fabricators in business, and the small ones tend to survive on repeat customers and word of mouth rather than advertising. There is no website to browse, which is normal at this end of the trade. Call the shop directly to talk through a project, materials and turnaround.
