About Howe's Welding & Metal Fabrication
Howe's Welding & Metal Fabrication has operated from Ames, Iowa since 1986. Founder Jim Howe, a U.S. Navy veteran who served aboard the USS L.Y. Spear from 1980 to 1986, opened the shop at its current South Duff Avenue location after completing Navy welding and heat‑treatment schools. Howe earned a state high‑school welding gold medal in 1980 and graduated top of his class in the Navy's welding program, earning certification for non‑nuclear high‑pressure plate and pipe to Navy standards. He remained in the Naval Reserves until 2006. The shop provides welding and metal fabrication services, including MIG and TIG welding on aluminum and other metals, as well as heat‑treatment capabilities drawn from Howe's Navy training. The facility at 811 South Duff handles a range of custom jobs, with the team emphasizing problem‑solving on projects of varying scope. The company serves customers needing custom fabrication and welding repairs; no specific industries or client names are disclosed in public materials. Howe's background in military‑grade welding standards and the shop's willingness to tackle "most any job" are presented as its distinguishing factors.
