About Prather Metalworks
The business was founded in 2020 when Franklin resident Kyle Dreier purchased the former Welding Unlimited location, retaining much of its equipment and workforce. The company is structured as a locally owned and operated limited liability company. The shop focuses on structural steel fabrication and installation, producing columns, beams, brackets, flitch plates, stairs, and bollards for commercial and residential projects. It also builds custom metalwork such as wrought‑iron handrails for stairs, balconies, and porches; steel and wrought‑iron gates for security and decorative purposes; and handles welding repairs on heavy equipment, skid‑steer attachments, and dump‑truck beds. Additional services include trailer repair and modification (fenders, ramps, wiring, axle replacements) and hitch installation for buses and trucks. The crew describes itself as medium‑sized, with many fabricators and welders who have been at the facility for more than 15 years, bringing decades of combined experience. Prather Metalworks serves two primary customer groups: contractors and builders who need structural steel and fabrication delivered on schedule, and homeowners seeking handrails, gates, or repair work with responsive communication. Commercial clients include projects requiring entrance gates, bollards, and custom fabrication such as delivery boxes, assembly‑line carts, chimney caps, and firewood racks. The company also works with heavy‑equipment operators and trailer owners across Middle Tennessee. The company emphasizes upfront pricing and communication. It provides quotes before any work begins and commits to honoring those quotes even if a job proves more involved than expected. A stated policy promises a return call within 24 hours of an inquiry, and the owner highlights quality and communication as core differentiators.
