Custom Stainless Steel Equipment for Commercial Kitchens in Colorado Springs
Opening a food service business in Colorado Springs is a milestone. Building a well-functioning commercial kitchen is another. What does that look like? Your prep team has enough space. The dish area drains properly. Shelving doesn’t wobble. All these and more can last for years if you choose stainless steel components that are properly welded for your exact kitchen needs.
Having worked with restaurant owners, food manufacturers, and brewery operators across Colorado Springs, we know that a one-size-fits-all kitchen is rarely the long-term solution. Different constraints in the kitchen require different solutions; that’s why we offer custom stainless steel fabrication designed around your space and operations.
What Proper Welding for Commercial Kitchens Offers
Proper welding is the difference between a restaurant that’s “open for business” and one that’s “built to last.” While our team can weld many different materials, we specialize in stainless steel fabrication for commercial kitchens. Stainless steel is the standard because it can be washed and sanitized daily without deteriorating. Although the cleanliness of stainless steel kitchen equipment is closely linked to how well it was welded.
At Top Peak Welding, our team ensures that seams are properly welded and sealed, leaving no tiny gaps or micro crevices for moisture, food particles, or grease to accumulate. For you, that means faster cleaning and meeting strict health code regulations.
Stainless steel can also handle heat and heavy weight without warping. For example, in busy restaurants on Tejon Street (Downtown Colorado Springs), deep fryers run hot during lunch and dinner. This calls for stainless steel stands and bases that won’t deform under constant heat or sag after months of heavy use.
Taking over a kitchen that’s already been built? Our team can also step in to help you with everything from upgrades and customizations to ensuring compliance and longevity. We can evaluate the current setup and recommend which pieces need to be replaced or repaired. Based on your vision and business operations, we can reposition sink and food prep areas to make workflow more efficient and create custom stainless steel counters, shelving, and other kitchen equipment that fit the space perfectly.

Your Kitchen by Functional Zone (And the Stainless Steel Equipment You Need)
While commercial kitchens run differently depending on space and concept, they almost always have the same core functional zones: prep, cook, wash, store. Our team considers each zone, allowing us to produce stainless steel kitchen solutions that support the entire workload.
Food Prep Zone
This is where ingredients become ready for the cooking line. You need metal prep tables that can endure heavy cutting, equipment vibration, and constant cleaning. For restaurants in The Springs with tighter spaces, we can fabricate custom-sized tables that won’t violate clearance requirements. We can also build single, double, or triple-compartment stainless prep sinks for washing produce and install wall-mounted shelving for specific load capacities.
Cooking Line
This is a high-heat, high-stress zone that houses your fryers, griddles, ovens, and broilers. We can build reinforced equipment stands that support these equipment pieces and install heat-resistant backsplash panels to protect your walls from flame and grease splatter. To further improve workflow, we will maximize every inch of your kitchen by adding welded filler tables that connect different work zones. Our stainless steel filler tables maximize your counter space and can be configured with built-in shelves for better organization and to prevent spills on the floor.
Dishwashing and Storage Areas
Dish machines cannot simply sit between two random tables. Otherwise, racks won’t slide smoothly, and water ends up splashing everywhere. The solution? Custom infeed and outfeed tables that match the height of your dish machine. We can build this with integrated drainboards that are slightly sloped, guiding the water back toward the sink instead of dripping onto the floor.
For safety purposes, it’s not just water that you need to keep off the floor. Brewery operators, for instance, think about their flour sacks, kegs, and oil containers. They, too, need to stay off the floor to prevent contamination and moisture damage. This is where our fabricated stainless steel dunnage racks come in. These elevated shelves can have single-tier or multi-tier racks (2-4 shelves), which handle 1,000 lbs or more per shelf, depending on reinforcement.
Restaurant Equipment Welding and Beyond
Commercial kitchens serve as the backbone of the broader food industry, and not just restaurants. That’s why our custom kitchen solutions work just as well for breweries in the downtown area or bakeries near the Garden of the Gods. Stainless steel fabrication can make these spaces more efficient, safer, and easier to maintain. Our steel workstations can withstand heavy mixing, cutting, and portioning, while our landing tables can handle hot fry baskets, full pans, and heavy trays.
If adding new equipment or reorganizing your workflow, our team can also help with kitchen modifications. We can fabricate metal custom-fit counters or stands to fill gaps, add integrated shelving to enhance organization, or extend cooking lines so fryers and griddles flow efficiently.
We use 304-grade stainless steel, the most common type found in commercial kitchens, to ensure excellent hygiene and corrosion resistance. For kitchen environments that are more intense or acidic, we recommend the 316-grade. If repairs, adjustments, or refurbishing are ever needed for your food service equipment, we only use high-quality stainless steel to restore your kitchen to full strength and functionality.
