Choosing a welding shop is as personal as choosing a good surgeon. Your life may depend on
the welding and design performed by the welder. All welding performed at RICHARD’S CERTIFIED WELDING is done by the owner, Richard J. Fiandach.

I believe that by the time I show someone how to do something, I could have done it myself, to the standards and tolerances that I am used to holding. I SIGN MY NAME WITH EACH WELD.

I was the most cross-trained employee at Lightin, being able to operate at over 70 work centers. My dad passed away in May of 1997 and I was part of an 80 person layoff at Lightin when SPX Corporation bought them out in 1998. I went full time at RICHARD’S CERTIFIED WELDING and moved the shop from East Rochester to Fairport. At Richard’s Certified Welding quality is our guarantee!
