We erect the steel
behind big-box buildings.
Ira G. Steffy & Son fabricates and erects structural steel and miscellaneous metals for warehouses and distribution centers, from our shop in Ephrata, PA, since 1976.
Every frame starts as a shop drawing.
Our detailers draw every column, girder and joist before the shop cuts a piece, and they flag design concerns early so your steel shows up when the schedule needs it.

How a Steffy job runs.
Long-time Steffy people handle your package at every step, from the first estimate to the last deck sheet.
- [ 01 ]
Estimating
Three estimators, each with more than 30 years in steel, price every job with a modest margin. That is why so much of our work comes to us negotiated.

Detailing
Fast-tracked project? We offer expedited detailing schedules so fabrication can start sooner.

Fabrication
