Our Projects
Our Crews, Our Trucks, Our Shop
We don't sub out the work that carries our name. From the Addison fabrication floor to the jobsite, every piece is set by a Specialty crew.
What our partners say
"Specialty differentiates themselves by being proactive and organized in pre-construction — reducing the need for micromanagement."
Who We Are
For decades, Specialty Construction has fabricated and installed the ornamental and miscellaneous metal behind the region's most recognized buildings, bridges, and arenas — self-performed, start to finish.
