About Us

About Ray and Family
At the young age of 11, I picked up my first welding rod with my dad. The first thing he taught me to weld was well casing. It’s been 40 years since then, and I have 11 children of my own, which makes me incredibly proud. My sons work alongside me, and the occasional daughter. We love our big family and our strong ties, workmanship, and qualities.

Ray Jessop and his crew worked diligently to finish my building during the winter months. They paid attention to detail, worked with me to fix issues with the concrete and building manufacturer and were fair regarding fees and additional costs. Integrity 10. Professionalism 10. Work ethic 10. If you are looking for someone to erect your metal building, you would be wise to call Ray Jessop.

We wanted to write you a note to express our satisfaction with the job your company has completed on our 3000 Sq Ft shop/garage and casita at our Colorado City, AZ home. The job included the need to compact the soil, bring in all utilities and construct the metal building. You secured all the bids from the sub-contractors for plumbing, concrete, framing, insulation, A/C, drywall, and electrical. You met with City permitting and got all the signoffs for the construction. You were easy to work with on change orders and presented prompt, accurate billing. The project was completed on time and on budget. Sally and I want to thank you for the wonderful results.
