Supplying Quality Steel, Aluminum, Stainless, and Custom Metal Fabrication to Charlotte and the Greater Queen City Area

Charlotte, North Carolina is a city that knows how to build things that last—from the skyline that stretches across Uptown to the custom homes tucked into neighborhoods like Ballantyne, Myers Park, and SouthPark. The people here work hard, the weather keeps everyone on their toes, and every project deserves materials that can stand up to it all. That’s exactly where Race City Steel comes in.

When summer rolls through with high humidity and the occasional Carolina thunderstorm, builders and fabricators need steel that performs, not bends under pressure. During winter’s cooler months, when temperatures dip and the air turns crisp over Lake Norman and the Catawba River, the demand for strong, reliable materials doesn’t slow down—it shifts toward finishing jobs before the cold sets in. That’s why contractors, homeowners, and industrial shops across Charlotte trust Race City Steel for the metal, precision, and dependability their work requires.

From Uptown Charlotte to Concord, Matthews, and Mooresville, we’ve become part of the backbone that helps keep the region’s construction industry moving.

Charlotte’s growth has brought creativity and modern design to every corner of the city. You’ll see it in the artistic metal railings around NoDa, the signage near South End breweries, and the decorative structural work on the campuses of UNC-Charlotte and Queens University. Behind a lot of those kinds of projects are precise cuts and strong welds—the type of craftsmanship that Race City Steel is known for.

Our laser and plasma cutting services deliver clean, accurate results for everything from structural work to custom design pieces. Need something bent, formed, or notched? Our CNC forming equipment handles that with precision, saving you time and headaches on the job site. We’ve also worked with plenty of local contractors who need custom fabrication for stairs, platforms, and frames that fit perfectly the first time.

When your client in Uptown Charlotte wants modern steel detailing that complements glass and concrete architecture—or when your warehouse expansion in the University area calls for strong, simple steel framing—our fabrication team can make it happen quickly and cleanly.

Rebar, Bollards, and Structural Reinforcement

Between Charlotte’s rapid development and its busy infrastructure, safety and reinforcement are never optional. Whether you’re securing a loading dock near SouthPark Mall, reinforcing parking lots at a business park off Tyvola Road, or setting bollards outside an Uptown retail space, you need material that meets code and lasts.

Our rebar and bollard inventory supports both new construction and retrofit projects across the region. We can cut, bend, and fabricate to match your specifications—making sure your project moves forward without delay. Local builders rely on our quick turnaround times to keep their timelines intact and their worksites compliant.

Custom Cutting, Shearing, and Fabrication

Steel and Metal Supply in Charlotte, NC

Driving down I-85 or I-77, you can see how quickly Charlotte’s landscape is changing. New apartment complexes, retail developments, and commercial spaces rise every year. The foundation for those projects often starts with dependable steel—beams, tubing, plate, and rebar that keep everything solid from the ground up.

Race City Steel supplies a wide range of steel, stainless steel, and aluminum products to match the pace of Charlotte’s growth. Whether you’re a contractor working on an industrial building near the airport, a shop fabricating parts in Pineville, or a homeowner tackling a small welding project, the materials you need are ready when you are.

Our shelves are stocked with sheet metal, beams, channels, angle iron, round bar, plate, and more—each ready for cutting, bending, or delivery. For locals, that means no long waits or supply chain delays. You can pick up what you need or have it delivered straight to your site in Mecklenburg County or nearby areas like Gastonia, Huntersville, and Mint Hill.

Supporting Charlotte’s Builders and Makers

This city is full of hard workers—contractors who show up early, welders who work late, and small shop owners who build one piece at a time until their business grows. Race City Steel is proud to be part of that rhythm. You’ll find our materials in everything from decorative entry gates along Providence Road to industrial structures off Wilkinson Boulevard.

We understand that Charlotte’s mix of humid summers and stormy afternoons means every piece of steel has to hold up against the elements. We work with builders who are improving the skyline, hobbyists turning sheet metal into art, and fabricators who create the kind of strength that keeps this city standing tall.
