YEAR EXPERIENCE
Travis Plamondon, owner of Plamondon’s Welding/Fab, has lived and worked in Traverse City his entire life—but his roots run even deeper. His family has been part of the Traverse City and Leelanau County community since 1915. Today, the welding shop stands on Cherry Bend Road, right next door to the property where generations of his family lived and operated Cherry Bend Grocery starting in 1937. This isn’t just family history—it’s a legacy of commitment to the people and the place that shaped him.
Travis became a certified welder after completing his training at TBA while still in high school. His passion for metalwork and his deep dedication to the local community are what truly set Plamondon’s Welding/Fab apart.
Our mission is simple: to stand with our community. No matter how busy Travis is, he always makes time for the people who make this region what it is—whether it's a farmer with downed equipment or a local restaurant needing repairs in their kitchen. He gives back through his time, talent, and mentorship, teaching youth and supporting local schools and programs.
Plamondon’s isn’t just a local business—it’s part of the fabric of the community, built on generations of pride, service, and steel.
Plamondons Welding/Fab is committed to providing hassle-free and convenient solutions for all of your welding and fabrication needs.

What Our Clients Say
Our customers appreciate the quality craftsmanship and dedication to excellence exhibited by Plamondon's Welding/Fab. They value our prompt service and attention to detail. Here are some testimonials from satisfied clients:

Randy Rossell
Travis, his welding skills, professionalism, timeliness, communication, and customer service, have all been beyond what I've experienced anywhere else. I've had a couple small jobs and a moderate job for Plamondon's Welding and I have been very impressed and satisfied. Cost is very fair and competitive as well. If more businesses/trades were run by people like Travis, the world would be a much better place. I drive over an hour one way to bring my jobs to Travis and I will keep doing so. Thank you!

Ken Christopher
A true professional, he did a great job and a fair price. I'm glad I called him.
Andrew F
Great work for a fair price! Thanks Travis!

Rob Franzo
Travis is a competent fabricator and specialized welder proving a valued service in our rural community. I highly recommend his welding and metal fabrication service for all your agricultural needs. He repaired a cultivator sweeps and is constructing a fixed deep tillage sweep. He has a complete shop and mobile service as well. Fortunately I've not needed mobile service but it's good to know he's got it if a field repair is needed.
