What This Means for Our Clients and Partners

  • Broader Expertise - DEKA’s deep knowledge of TIG and MIG aluminum welding and CNC routing now lives under the OHOH roof, expanding what’s possible for architectural metalwork and complex alloy builds.

  • Expanded Services – From intricate decorative finishes to large-scale facades and structural features, we can take on even more ambitious projects with speed and precision.

  • A Stronger Team – Our combined crew of designers, project managers, and fabricators thrives on collaboration, pushing creative and technical boundaries at every turn.

  • Seamless Continuity – DEKA’s dedication, character, and care remain unchanged, with key leaders, including veteran Director of Operations Doug Hellikson, remaining at the helm of DEKA’s workflow, steering current commissions and new assignments with the same meticulous attention to detail that has long defined the DEKA name.​
