Working from the ground up is something we are proud to call one of our specialties. As a CWB certified company with Red Seal staff, we are excited to work with you on all sized projects. We also work closely with preferred engineers and professional detailers to ensure quick turn around times on designs and that your fabrication needs are done right the first time.
Blending our love for structural work and flexing our artistic muscles, the team has come together to design some exciting functional/ practical landscape structures. Keeping in mind the balance of heavy metals blended with our west coast living spaces, giving spaces a beautiful unique modern look.
Structural steel builds are one of our core competencies.
RDC asked us to construct an interior staircase for one of their custom home projects.
Welding is a practice that demands patience, creativity and a lot of practice. It is a world of heavy equipment and materials yet some how the father & son duo (Bob and Jack) have created delicate unique custom metal artwork. “The Art Side” has been around since 2017, with just over two years of growth you can already find them scattered across the Sea To Sky Corridor homes and in retail outlets in Whistler, Squamish and Bowen Island. Or maybe you’ve seen the Bob the Welder family at the Whistler, Squamish or North Vancouver Markets.
Sea To Sky Welding started in 2017 in a small shop in Whistler, BC. I had just graduated high school and was keen to become more involved in my father’s welding business. I have always been artistic and good with computer software programming. My art started from making small designs and logos with a hand-held plasma torch. After a new years a CNC plasma table became my tool of choice.
My early training with metal art was self taught, once I decided to make a career out of my passion by I enrolled in a CAD software designing class at BCIT to compliment the programming needed for most of my metalwork designs.
My artwork is mostly found on my computer, I have created hundreds of images and nature scenes, which I have been then making into metal art and pairing it with wood. Lots of my artwork shows nature scenes, trees, animals, and some abstracts. The “Industrial Nature” style artwork really speaks to me as I am from the west coast. Growing up in small mountain towns my entire life has made me appreciate being outside in the trees, exploring mountains and watching wild life roam. My outdoor playground is my inspiration.
We proudly use Fast Cut CNC tables for plasma cutting of raw materials.

In May 2016 Bob was evacuated from the Fort McMurray Wildfires bringing with him his welding rig. Once home he realized he’d had enough of living away and opened his truck for business in Squamish. That fall and winter he procured a space in a corner of a tent. At this point Bob added one employee to begin a team that later would turn into Sea To Sky Welding. In the Spring of 2017, the staff began to grow and by July Bob opened his first shop in Whistlers Function Junction area. Within two years Sea To Sky Welding outgrew the Whistler shop and a second (much larger) shop and head office have now been opened in Squamish.

Sea To Sky Welding works to curate a business that cares and gives back not only to our staff but also to our community. The team is our family and we work to grow with each person in their career. Without our awesome staff showing up each morning and caring and believing in their work we would not have the successes we have seen today.
We support the ITA apprenticeship program and are constantly looking for ways to maintain and upgrade our training and certification levels. Having certified welders working for a certified company shows the commitment to getting the job done correctly and to code.
Our Apprenticeship helps people enter the trade of welding. When you complete the program, you’ll receive a certification or “ticket” allowing you to practice the trade independently.
Apprenticeship programs combine paid on-the-job training with learning in a classroom or shop setting. In most programs, you’ll spend about 85 per cent of the time on the job. Most programs take four years to complete.
West coast art at its’ finest, using recycled pipeline pipes to create our signature steel lantern tubes. This home in Whistler has 3 feature lanterns. Earth, sky and sea for the true west coast feel. Add one or more to your property to give your outdoor space some flair.
