Light Custom Fabrication in Evans GA
Fiberglass Repairs Inc provides light custom fabrication services for boat owners, RV owners and dealerships throughout Evans, Columbia County and the wider CSRA. Since 1981, we have worked with fiberglass and composite materials to build, restore and modify parts that improve the function and appearance of boats and recreational vehicles. After more than forty four years of hands on experience, we understand how fiberglass components should be shaped, reinforced and finished so they work properly and last under regular use. Our light custom fabrication service helps owners replace worn parts, add new features and solve practical problems with well built fiberglass components tailored to their needs.
Light Custom Fabrication
Many boats and RVs rely on fiberglass parts that see regular wear. Hatch covers, small storage compartments, panels, curved trim, splash guards, battery covers and other areas often weaken over time or break due to constant movement, sun exposure or impact. Replacement parts are not always available, especially for older craft or units that are no longer produced. Light custom fabrication provides a practical solution.
Fiberglass Repairs Inc creates and repairs custom components built to match the original part or provide an improved design. Because we have worked with fiberglass construction since 1981, we understand how to shape, mold and reinforce these parts correctly. Our fabrication work supports both marine and RV customers throughout Evans and surrounding counties, providing solutions for a wide range of models and manufacturers.
Why Custom Fabrication Matters for Boats and RVs
Many owners eventually face a situation where a part is cracked or missing, but the manufacturer no longer offers a replacement. Some parts are made from thin fiberglass that weakens due to stress or exposure. Other parts suffer impact damage from trailering, docking or storage. Custom fabrication helps keep the craft safe, functional and complete without relying on hard to find parts.
Properly built fiberglass parts must do more than look correct. They need strength, smooth edges, a proper fit and a finish that matches the surrounding area. Poor fabrication can create stress points or early cracking. With more than forty four years of experience, Fiberglass Repairs Inc understands how to reinforce panels, curve surfaces and finish edges so the part holds up to regular use.
Custom fabrication also allows owners to add features that may not have been included originally. For example, a boat owner may want a new compartment insert, a modified hatch design or an updated storage solution. RV owners may need new panels, protective covers or small structural supports fitted to their unit. Light custom fabrication provides these options.
Light Custom Fabrication Services We Provide
Our custom fabrication services cover a wide range of needs for boat and RV owners. Each project begins with an evaluation of the existing part or a discussion of the new component you need. From there, we measure, shape and build a fiberglass or composite piece designed for strength and proper fit.
Our services include custom fiberglass panels, small component fabrication, hatch and lid fabrication, compartment inserts, protective covers, trim pieces, storage piece fabrication, replacement panels and reinforcement of weakened fiberglass structures.
For marine customers, we fabricate boat hatches, curved panels, deck inserts, splash shields, seat back panels, storage trays and similar pieces. These pieces are created to match the profile of the boat and withstand constant movement and water exposure.
For RV customers, we fabricate small exterior fiberglass panels, compartment doors, storage covers and various parts that require a custom fit after damage or wear. Some RVs develop gaps or misaligned sections over time due to road vibration. Custom fabricated parts restore a clean and properly aligned appearance.
Fiberglass Shaping and Reinforcement
A successful custom fiberglass part requires more than creating the right shape. It must be reinforced correctly to support weight and stress. Fiberglass Repairs Inc uses proven construction methods to build strong layers that maintain proper structure. We determine the required thickness, reinforce weak areas and add support where necessary.
Many factory parts use thin fiberglass or aging resin. When we fabricate a replacement, we often improve the original design by strengthening the new piece. This helps prevent cracking, flexing or peeling in the future. Our approach is based on decades of experience with fiberglass layup techniques, structural patterns and real world stress points in both boats and recreational vehicles.
Finishing and Appearance Matching
Custom fabricated parts must also match the surrounding area. This includes proper fit, smooth seams and a matching gelcoat surface. Fiberglass Repairs Inc provides finishing services that blend the fabricated piece with the original material. We apply gelcoat, sand the surface and complete any polishing needed to create a consistent appearance.
For boats with polyflake or specialty finishes, we use careful color matching and controlled application so the finished piece fits as closely as possible with the existing finish. For RVs, we match factory colors and surface textures to maintain a clean and uniform look.
Common Custom Fabrication Projects
Owners often call us for custom fabrication when repair alone is not enough. Many of the projects we handle involve broken or missing pieces on boats and RVs that require replacement to restore full functionality.
Common fabrication projects include replacement hatch covers, storage lids, tool compartment inserts, bow panels, transom access covers, battery box covers, seat back panels, access doors, trim panels, light structural pieces and small molded parts that attach to decks or interior surfaces.
RV fabrication projects often include small exterior panels, utility covers, wheel well inserts and trim pieces that have cracked or gone missing. Many of these parts are no longer produced by the original manufacturer, making custom fabrication the only reliable option.
Mobile Fabrication Support Throughout the CSRA
Many fabrication projects begin with an onsite visit. Our team provides mobile service throughout Evans, Augusta, Grovetown, Appling, North Augusta and surrounding counties within about seventy five miles. During a mobile visit, we evaluate the damaged area, take measurements and discuss the design of the replacement part.
Some fabrication work is completed onsite when conditions allow, while other projects require controlled space at our location due to curing, shaping or finishing needs. We explain the best approach based on the project. Our goal is always a strong and reliable custom solution that fits the craft properly.
