Beaty Fabricating and Ornamental Iron

About Beaty Fabricating and Ornamental Iron

HISTORY OF OUR COMPANY
Lee and Terry Beaty, father and son, opened BEATY GARAGE AND FABRICATING in 1979 as a mechanic/welding shop. Welding and fabricating became more predominate and began to be the main frame of the business by 1980. In 1986 they changed the name to BEATY FABRICATING. They did welding repair from lawn mower decks to heavy equipment such as dozers. They also did ornamental iron handrails, gates and fences. In 1990 the 2-man operation did one of the biggest ornamental iron fence jobs on record for Beaty Fabricating (project for Johnny Pye in Dalton, GA). Stacy Beaty, a senior in high school and son of Terry would work with his father and grandfather on weekends to help complete the job.
In 1993 Lee Beaty became ill and semi-retired from the company. Stacy, in college, changed his college major from mechanical engineering to metallurgy and welding. Stacy went to work full time at Beaty Fabricating in 1994. Stacy and his father Terry then measured, quoted, sold, fabricated, primed and painted then installed all jobs.
