BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE TRADE
Our roots are
on the deck plates.
Founded in 2019 by Seth Stainback, Kasey Laughlin, and Steven Yewcic, Virginia Weldcore grew from careers spent welding and working in shipyards.
That experience shapes how we approach every project: understand the job, take pride in the craft, and see the work through.
