OUR HISTORY
Joseph (Lee) Chancey founded Chancey Metals in 1986 after learning the art of metal machining and fabrication from his father, L. Chancey Sr., while working at Chancey Trailers. Early on, Chancey Metals excelled in the intricate work of custom ornamental fencing. Lee’s commitment to excellence quickly led to the development of a first-class team of tradesmen and technical personnel that allowed the company to expanded its product offerings. This led to Chancey Metals becoming the leader in the Multi-Family Industry earning a stellar reputation matched by few others in the industry.
Lee and Mary retired in the summer of 2020 after selling Chancey Metals to another Jacksonville, FL-based firm, Geddes Enterprises. Owner Tim Geddes, and CEO, Steve Jenkins continue to build on the Chancey legacy. Chancey Metals currently serves many of the country’s most successful and sought-after clients in the Multi-Family Industry, completing projects throughout the markets our Clients serve. With our ever-growing workforce of dedicated professionals, we continue to exceed customer expectations while investing in our employees, plant, and equipment.
