Question 1

What information should I provide when requesting a quote?

Accepted Answer

Describe what needs to be built, modified, or repaired, how the finished work will be used, approximate dimensions, and where the project is located. Photos help more than anything else.

Question 2

Can I send photos of my project?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Photos of the whole item plus close-ups of the area needing work are the fastest way for us to understand the job. You can attach them to the quote form or email them to the shop.

Question 3

Do you accept custom one-off fabrication projects?

Accepted Answer

One-off custom work is the core of what the shop does. Contact JG's to discuss whether your specific project is a fit.

Question 4

Can you build from a sketch or an idea?

Accepted Answer

A hand sketch, a phone photo, a measurement, or an existing part to copy all give us something to work from. The clearer you can describe how the piece will be used, the better.

Question 5

Do you repair damaged metal components?

Accepted Answer

Metal repair inquiries are welcome. Whether a repair is appropriate depends on the component's condition, intended use, material, and project requirements — not every damaged part can or should be welded.

Question 6

Do you fabricate or modify trailers?

Accepted Answer

Trailer fabrication and modification are areas the shop works in. Contact us to discuss your trailer project and requirements, including intended use, dimensions, expected load, and desired features.

Question 7

Do you work with residential customers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Homeowners regularly ask about gates, frames, brackets, supports, racks, and other metalwork around the property.

Question 8

Do you work with contractors, farms, or businesses?

Accepted Answer

Commercial, contractor, and agricultural inquiries are all welcome, from equipment components to shop and jobsite metalwork.

Question 9

How long does a project take?

Accepted Answer

Project timing depends on the scope, materials, current workload, and required fabrication. Contact JG's with your project details to discuss availability.

Question 10

How is pricing determined?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on the scope of the work, the materials involved, and the fabrication or repair required. Each project is quoted individually rather than from a price list.

Question 11

Can I bring my project to the Bunkie shop?

Accepted Answer

The shop is at 709 MacArthur Street in Bunkie, LA 71322. Call before bringing a project in so we know what's coming and can talk through the work.

Question 12

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

The shop is based in Bunkie and works with customers around Avoyelles Parish and Central Louisiana. There's no published service radius — customers outside Bunkie should call to confirm project availability and logistics.

Question 13

Can you provide a quote over the phone?

Accepted Answer

Some projects can be discussed and estimated by phone; others need photos or a look at the part before anything meaningful can be said. Call with your details and we'll tell you what's needed.

Question 14

What materials and welding processes do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Materials and welding processes are confirmed per project. Call the shop and describe your part so we can confirm compatibility with your project before you commit to anything.

Question 15

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Call (318) 500-8290 or send your project details through the quote form with photos, dimensions, and the intended use. From there we'll discuss the approach and next steps.
