The Anatomy of the United Services Group Welder
At United Services Group, we pride ourselves in providing the best and brightest team of specialty labors to complete our projects. Our team is built on a philosophy of providing service excellence to our customers. Service excellence is defined as providing our clients with four major aspects on every project: safety, quality, affordability and effectiveness. These keys provide our customers with a partner that unites with them to assure their project scope is completed in accordance with their specifications.
Our team is dedicated to their craft. We have set ourselves apart from the competition by building a skilled team and just not assembling a workforce. At United Services Group, we value providing each customer with a versatile group of craft labor. Providing versatility helps cut down on unnecessary pass through costs to our customers and ultimately helping the project stay on budget.
