Overview
Comfort Solution provides precision metalwork and HVAC duct fabrication for businesses and homeowners across Northbrook and nearby suburbs. Our team fabricates durable components using industry-standard materials and welding practices. We work with both new construction projects and service calls where existing systems require modification or replacement.
When to choose professional metal fabrication
If a heating, ventilation or air conditioning installation requires custom duct runs, transition pieces, or specialty fittings, on-site fabrication avoids long lead times and prevents field fit issues. We also fabricate sheet metal parts for kitchen exhaust systems, rooftop units, and light commercial enclosures.
Core capabilities
- Custom ductwork (round, rectangular, and oval profiles)
- Fitting fabrication (boots, takeoffs, transitions, plenums)
- Smoke and kitchen exhaust duct systems
- Seam welding, spot welding, and secure mechanical fastening
- Insulation application and vapor barrier finishing
- On-site cutting and folding for tight or complex spaces
Materials and gauges
We select materials to match each job’s performance and durability requirements. Options commonly used include galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum in a variety of gauges. For HVAC return and supply systems, we typically use heavy-gauge galvanized steel for strength and long life; for kitchen exhaust and corrosive environments, stainless steel is recommended.
Quality and compliance
All fabrication follows code and manufacturer requirements. Before work begins we plan connection sequences, clearances, and sealing strategies to maintain airflow performance and to meet local fire and mechanical codes. Our crews carry the tools and materials needed for small and large-scale work, and we document installations for client review.
Typical process
- Site evaluation: Measure and identify constraints.
- Layout and shop drawings: Provide clear fabrication notes where required.
- Material selection: Choose appropriate gauge and finish.
- Fabrication: Cut, form, and assemble in-shop or on-site.
- Installation: Set, connect, seal, and test airflow.
- Final inspection: Confirm performance and hand off documentation.
Benefits of a local fabricator
Working with a local team reduces turnaround time, simplifies permitting questions, and provides faster response for service. Our technicians understand regional building practices and typical installation constraints in Northbrook, which helps prevent rework and schedule delays.
