Places to buy steel near LA

Im pretty new to welding, wondering if there’s some good places to buy steel near LA County?

 

What’s up buddy. What city are you in?

 

Downey!

 

Perfect. LACO steel in Paramount is my go to spot. Thats where I get all my materials

 

Awesome brother, thank you so much. I’m doing simple house projects as a learning experience since that wont kill me if the welds fail

 

They’re great people over there and they have good prices. Haha awesome man!! Good for you. Learning how to stick metal together is a super useful skill.

 

This is great to know, thank you! Not sure when I'll need it, but it's nice to have options.

I've only had a project or two where I needed some steel and I found a spot super close to me, JJS Palomo's Steel. The guy was really helpful and directed me to some cheap remants rather than having me buy from brand new stock since all I needed were small pieces. Saved me a ton.

 

I drive thru paramount daily. When I needed steel I'd drive all the way to industrial metal in irvine which was a hassle, especially during the weekdays. I work in LA and live in OC, so that trek from LA to Irvine and back to OC is treacherous when you're in the heart of traffic. So glad I clicked on this. Thanks!!

 

You guys are welcome. I know the Manager Chris there and he’s a really good dude. I’ve been using these guys for years now and they never let me down. Way better pricing than IMS too. Also, if you spend over like $300 on your order, they’ll deliver for free
