"My name is Justin, and I am the owner of Fusion Fabrications LLC. Today, Fusion Fabrications LLC is a diverse company that has experience in several areas. From welding, plumbing, to the installation and repair of complex irrigation systems and snow removal. Give me the opportunity to show you how Fusion Fabrications LLC can help you accomplish your challenges."

Here is a detailed history of how Jusin McElfresh grew his business into Fusion Fabrications LLC:

Fusion Fabrications opened its doors as a welding and fabrication company in 2003. The owner, Justin McElfresh had the dream when he was in his teens about building a company that provided many trade services to the community. Justin has always been a firm believer that the customers will continue to call if you give them the highest quality at a fair price. Most of Fusion Fabrications customers have been with us since the beginning, and we continue to grow. Throughout the years Fusion Fabrications has invested in equipment to decrease repair time and minimize customer down time.

Justin McElfresh, owner of Fusion Fabrications LLC, acquired his first job in 1993 at 12 years of age as a farm hand on a local dairy farm. He stated that working on the farm was one of his best experiences when he was a kid. He started out by milking in the evening after school and then milking before and after school.

When Justin was 13 (in 1994) his father bought him his first welder, a Lincoln 110 MIG. After some practice, he had become proficient with the little Lincoln welder. By the time Justin was going into 10th grade (in 1996), Justin's mother had suggested he should take a vocational technical course.

In 1996, he elected to enroll in vo-tech courses for plumbing and HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning). At age 16, he started working for a local plumbing company in Frederick, Maryland. Justin says he had some of the best leaders in the industry showing him the technical skills he needed to succeed in the plumbing industry.

In 2000, Justin began running his own "new construction" jobs. Keep in mind that Justin was still welding in the evening and weekends so he could keep up with the demand for welding repair work. By the end of 2000, Justin had decided to learn the service side of the plumbing trade. He began to work with a plumbing service firm in and quickly excelled. By 2001, he began running his own service truck, performing plumbing repair work on various systems. Throughout the next few years, Justin trained in boiler repair, and commercial plumbing.

In 2003, Justin started "Fusion Fabrications" while holding positions with a leading plumbing company. Beginning in 2004, the demand for his welding repair and fabrication soared, creating a challenge; how was he to hold a full time plumbing position, while at the same time, establish Fusion Fabrication as a leading welding and fabrication company. At the end of 2004, Justin decided to devote 100% of his focus to Fusion Fabrications LLC, placing his customers and company first.

In 2004, Justin purchased his first mobile rig to accommodate on site welding and fabrication. Later that year, a larger shop was built to facilitate his company's growth. For the next several years, his client base began to expand, as well as his eagerness to learn additional trades.

In 2007, he began showing interest in the irrigation systems. With his self motivation, he began learning how to install and service complex irrigation systems from leading industry experts. Since he has had past experience in the plumbing industry, he quickly excelled in this new trade; servicing irrigation pumping station systems throughout the east coast. Amazingly, he was able to accomplish this while still performing welding and fabrication work. Learning this new trade has allowed him to advance his company, and provide irrigation services to his customers.

Justin believes knowledge is one thing any one person cannot have too much of. When asked, "where do you go from here?", he responded by saying:

"I'll continue to train on whatever comes my way to further my education and complete my dream. When you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life."
