LV Iron & Steel

What LV Iron & Steel does

LV Iron & Steel (legal name Las Vegas Wrought Iron & Steel, Inc.) is a family-owned structural and miscellaneous steel fabricator founded in 2002 and headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. The company operates in two end markets: residential (custom gates, fences, security doors, wrought iron doors, patio covers, carports, stairs and railings for homeowners) and commercial (structural steel beams and columns, staircases, handrails, security gates, canopies, carports, decorative metal panels) sold primarily through general contractors and developers. It is led by the Aguilar family, with Pete Aguilar as CEO and Traci Aguilar as CFO, and runs a 101-250 employee operation with stated headcount of 150+.

The technical backbone is a capital-intensive robotic fabrication cell rather than a traditional blacksmith shop. Equipment includes a Voortman V807 robotic plasma processor, a Voortman V505 flat/angle punch-and-shear line, a Vectis Cobot self-learning robotic welder, an EL-SQRD tube plasma cutter, a Plate Lazer Plus, and a Beam WELDer with Point Cloud Scanning. These systems support high-mix custom work at tolerances and throughput that smaller non-automated shops cannot match. The firm is AISC-certified, BBB-accredited, and holds Nevada Contractor License #86138 in the unrestricted "Bid Unlimited" classification, qualifying it to bid on projects of any size including public and healthcare work.

The business model is project-based fabrication services for both B2C residential customers and B2B commercial clients (typically GCs and developers). Commercial work is relationship-driven through a defined set of repeat GC partners — including Burke Construction, Martin-Harris Construction, McCarthy, Layton, Nigro Construction, Fore Property, Penta, Core, and Christopher Homes — and is anchored by a portfolio of named institutional projects (Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas Aces Practice Facility, UnCommons, Whole Foods Downtown Summerlin, Kroger Distribution Center, Dave & Buster's Henderson, Bottled Blonde LV Strip, UHaul PEMB, Warm Springs Industrial Center, Southern Hills Hospital). The company is expanding up the value chain by adding BIM modeling, design assist/build, and commercial steel estimating, shifting from pure fabricator toward pre-construction partner. Geographic footprint is concentrated in the Las Vegas metropolitan area, with no disclosed expansion outside Southern Nevada.
