New York Steel Services/Ali's Steel Fabricating

Steel fabricators keep the city’s bones strong. New York Steel Services/Ali's Steel Fabricating handles everything from structural beams to custom railings, all cut and welded on-site. Their shop sits at 180-09 Liberty Ave in Jamaica, where the hum of torches competes with the elevated trains a few blocks north. Projects range from fire escapes to industrial staircases, and they often work with contractors who need quick turnarounds without sacrificing precision. The neighborhood’s mix of auto shops and small manufacturers means you’ll find the tools and materials you need nearby—though you won’t need much if they’re handling the fabrication themselves.

If you’re coordinating a build or repair, give them a call at (718) 291-7770 to discuss specs or lead times. Directions are straightforward: pull up the map and head toward the corner of Liberty and 180th. The area’s industrial vibe means parking isn’t scarce, but don’t expect valet—just bring the plans and let them handle the sparks.
