What Elevated Steel does

Elevated Steel is a turnkey metal fabrication and structural steel services provider headquartered in Adairsville, Georgia, founded in 2018 by Colton Lemon. The company operates from a 113,000 sq. ft. facility equipped with modern fabrication, welding, and coating equipment, including a 1,024-foot powder coating line described as one of the largest in the Eastern/Southeastern US. Its service portfolio spans four core capabilities — AISC-certified metal fabrication, AWS D1.1-compliant welding (MIG, Stick, FCAW), industrial powder coating, and nationwide structural steel erection — complemented by value-added services including steel detailing, estimating, and project management.

Elevated Steel serves a diversified enterprise customer base spanning construction, industrial, OEM, and commercial verticals. Named customers include McMaster, Hyundai, Mercedes, Budweiser, Crocs, Yanmar, GPB, Daiki Corporation, and Southeast Toyota Distributors. The company is sales-led, operating on a quote-based, project-pricing model with no publicly disclosed price list, and markets primarily through direct outreach, its website contact channel, and a 24-hour response commitment. Its geographic footprint covers the Continental US for erection work, anchored by the Adairsville facility positioned 50 miles north of Atlanta.

In February 2024, Elevated Steel merged with Pivot Resource Group, a Milwaukee-based construction consulting and project management firm, adding professional services and a second U.S. operating node to its fabrication platform. The combined entity employs approximately 80 people. The company remains privately held and founder-led, with no disclosed institutional funding rounds or external investors.

• Commercial Metals Company (CMC): Vertically integrated metals manufacturer, fabricator, and recycler with structural steel and rebar fabrication capabilities. Broad incumbent that overlaps with structural fabrication markets and competes for large commercial construction scopes.
• Schuff Steel (Schuff International): Large national structural steel fabricator and erector serving commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. Overlaps with Elevated Steel on structural steel packages but operates at much larger scale with megaproject bonding capacity.
• LeJeune Steel Company: National structural steel and miscellaneous metals fabricator/erector serving commercial construction. Comparable service mix to Elevated Steel but with significantly larger bonded capacity and multi-region footprint.
• Cives Steel Company: Large multi-facility structural steel fabricator operating across the US and Canada with significantly broader geographic and project-size footprint than Elevated Steel. Comparable as a structural steel incumbent but materially larger scale.
• High Steel Structures: Major US structural steel fabricator producing large bridge girders and high-rise building frames. Overlaps with Elevated Steel on structural steel packages but operates at substantially larger scale with megaproject capability.
