A custom railing and a broken workplace bracket both brought customers to Hold Fast Welding. In a June 2020 Google review, a railing customer said Brad discussed several options to suit their needs and budget, then took exact measurements for a precise fit. They also said he sourced powder coating from a local vendor. In April 2024, a different customer described Brad arriving at their workplace with his mobile truck to take care of a broken bracket. Hold Fast Welding is based in Chicopee. Google shows a 4.7-star average from 12 ratings. Customers' written accounts span 2020–2025 and describe welding, custom metal fabrication and railings. A July 2021 reviewer praised the work and said the worker kept in touch, sent progress pictures and made recommendations. That customer recommended the company for railings at homes or businesses and described a shorter turnaround than larger companies. In July 2024, a customer describing a custom metal fabrication project praised the detailed quote, timeline, precise welds and finish. They said Brad personally oversaw the project. An October 2025 reviewer who had worked with Brad several times described him as dependable and willing to do what was needed to get the job done.

I will recommend this company to anybody looking for some railings for there home or business... good work and less time as the big name companies out there....
Brad is truly a master at his craft, and incredibly timely with all communications. Brad reviewed multiple options with us for the solution to fit our needs and budget - he was honest with his professional opinion. Brad was very exact with all measurements to ensure precise fit for our custom railing. Brad also sources powder coating from a local vendor, and it felt really good to support local talent and business. Very highly recommend!!
