The information provided on the Macedo Metalworks LLC website at macedometal.com (the "Site") and through our communications is for general informational purposes only. While we strive to keep the information on our Site accurate and current, Macedo Metalworks LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the information, products, services, or related graphics contained on the Site for any purpose.
1. General Disclaimer
Any reliance you place on information found on this Site is strictly at your own risk. In no event will Macedo Metalworks LLC be liable for any loss or damage, including without limitation, indirect or consequential loss or damage, arising from your use of, or reliance on, information obtained from this Site.
This Site does not provide engineering, architectural, or legal advice. The information presented here is not a substitute for professional consultation with licensed engineers, architects, attorneys, or other qualified professionals relevant to your specific project requirements.
2. Professional Liability Limits
Macedo Metalworks LLC is a metal fabrication and welding company. We are not licensed as professional engineers, architects, or general contractors unless specifically stated in a written agreement. Our professional liability is limited as follows:
- Scope of expertise: Our expertise is in the fabrication, welding, and installation of metal structures and components. We do not provide structural engineering calculations, architectural design services, or general contracting services unless explicitly included in a written service agreement.
- Engineering and design: When a project requires structural engineering or stamped drawings, it is the client's responsibility to retain a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) registered in the State of Florida. We can coordinate with your engineer but do not assume engineering liability.
- Liability cap: Our liability for any claim related to our services shall not exceed the amount paid by the client for the specific project that is the subject of the claim, as further outlined in our Terms of Service.
- Insurance: Macedo Metalworks LLC maintains general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage as required by Florida law. Certificates of insurance are available upon request.
3. No Guarantee of Results
While we take pride in the quality of our work and strive for excellence in every project, Macedo Metalworks LLC does not guarantee specific outcomes, results, or performance metrics. Each metal fabrication and welding project is unique and subject to numerous variables, including:
- Site-specific conditions and environmental factors
- Existing structural conditions and load-bearing capacity
- Client-specified design requirements and material selections
- Local weather exposure, including Florida's humidity, salt air, and storm conditions
- Ongoing maintenance and care performed (or not performed) by the property owner
- Subsequent modifications made by others after our work is complete
Important: Portfolio images and project descriptions on our Site represent completed work under specific conditions. Your project's final appearance and performance may differ based on your unique design, materials, site conditions, and environmental exposure.
4. Building Code & Permit Compliance
Building codes, zoning regulations, and permit requirements vary by municipality and county throughout Florida. It is critical that all parties understand the following:
- Client responsibility: Unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing, it is the property owner's responsibility to verify that all proposed work complies with applicable building codes, zoning ordinances, HOA restrictions, deed restrictions, and local regulations before work begins.
- Permit procurement: Building permits may be required for structural metalwork, fencing, railings, gates, and other installations. The responsibility for obtaining necessary permits shall be as specified in the written service agreement. If not specified, the property owner is responsible for securing all required permits.
- Code changes: Building codes in Florida are subject to periodic revision by the Florida Building Commission. Macedo Metalworks LLC fabricates to the specifications and codes in effect at the time of the written agreement. We are not responsible for bringing previously completed work into compliance with subsequently adopted code changes.
- Inspections: Clients are responsible for scheduling any required building inspections with their local building department. We will cooperate with inspectors and make reasonable efforts to address inspection findings related to our scope of work.
- Wind load and hurricane compliance: Florida has specific requirements for wind resistance, particularly in high-velocity hurricane zones. Unless our written agreement specifically states compliance with particular wind load requirements, clients should verify that project specifications meet local wind load requirements through a licensed engineer.
Florida Homeowner Notice: Property owners are ultimately responsible for ensuring all construction and modifications to their property comply with applicable Florida Building Code requirements, local ordinances, and HOA or community restrictions. We strongly recommend consulting with your local building department before beginning any project.
5. Warranty Limitations
Macedo Metalworks LLC stands behind the quality of our workmanship. However, warranty coverage is subject to the following limitations:
- Written warranties only: The only warranties applicable to any project are those expressly stated in the written service agreement or warranty document provided at project completion. No oral representations, marketing materials, or website content shall create or expand any warranty beyond what is documented in writing.
- Workmanship vs. materials: Warranty coverage for our workmanship (welds, fabrication quality, installation) is separate from manufacturer warranties on materials. Material defects are subject to the respective manufacturer's warranty terms and conditions.
- Exclusions: Warranties do not cover damage or deterioration caused by:
- Normal wear and tear over time
- Failure to perform recommended maintenance (such as repainting or applying rust inhibitors)
- Misuse, abuse, or unauthorized modifications
- Acts of nature, including hurricanes, flooding, lightning, and windborne debris
- Chemical exposure, corrosive environments, or contact with dissimilar metals causing galvanic corrosion
- Settling, shifting, or failure of existing structures not built by us
- Work performed by others on or adjacent to our installations
- Finish warranty: Paint, powder coating, and other surface finishes are subject to gradual degradation from UV exposure and weather, particularly in Florida's climate. Finish warranties, if provided, are specified separately in the service agreement and typically cover manufacturing defects rather than normal weathering.
To the extent permitted by Florida law, all implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are expressly disclaimed except where such disclaimer is not permitted by law.

- Address maintenance needs promptly to prevent deterioration, especially in Florida's humid and salt-air environment

11. Florida-Specific Disclosures
As a Florida-based company, the following state-specific disclosures apply:
- Mechanic's lien rights: Under Florida Statutes Chapter 713, contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers may have lien rights against your property for unpaid work or materials. For more information, consult a Florida attorney or the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
- Hurricane preparedness: Metal structures, gates, fences, and outdoor installations in Florida may be subject to damage during hurricanes and tropical storms. Property owners are responsible for taking appropriate precautions during severe weather events, including securing or removing removable items.
- Corrosion in coastal areas: Properties located in coastal or near-coastal areas of Florida are subject to accelerated corrosion from salt air exposure. Unless specifically designed and specified for coastal environments, standard metal finishes may require more frequent maintenance in these locations.
