If you're looking for welding or similar metalwork, your search is over. Go here…read more I recently bought an old steel bike frame with a very poor repair to one of the joints: there was barely any metal holding the joint together, and there was a hole melted in one of the tubes. I was concerned that it'd be hard to get the joint properly repaired, and/or prohibitively expensive. I stopped by Custom Metal Manufacturing around opening time. The workshop is a treasure trove: minibikes, custom signs, and sculptures everywhere. Ed and Gerard were super friendly and great storytellers. Ed looked at the frame, said "I can fix that", and fired up his welding gear right away. Ten minutes of good conversation later the work was done, and at a very reasonable price. The joint is now reinforced with ample steel, and the hole is closed up. Everything I hoped for and more.

He could of done the job for me easy but gave me a cheaper option going to a sheet metal supplier. He recommended to have them fabricate it for me at a much lower price! Talking with him I could clearly tell he was knowledgeable, capable, and had my best interest in mind. He insisted I call him anytime with any question I have along the way! Did I mention my truck broke down on the way to meet him? He drove to where I was and helped me get back home... Wow! He'll be the first I call for anything metal related!

From the beginning, Christian at OP Metal Works was great in communication, prompt in getting me an estimate, & competitively priced. I was a little leary that the company had 0 reviews. I told Christian this and with the explanation he gave I knew these guy's were honest and straight shooters. I did hire them to fix the fence and they did an excellent job. You can't tell that there was any damage. I can't tell you how pleased I was to work with OP Metal Works. I will definitely use them again. Todd D'Amelio Twin Oaks Real Estate

Disappointing experience overall…read more Verbal bid was given of 10k to 11k for the job over a FaceTime phone call as the project was explained. I politely asked if he could please try to keep it near the 10k. Written bid came in over 11k. (11,700$) Discussed that the bracing for the large metal stairs should probably be secured by something more than anchoring into stucco. To add proper supports the bid goes up again to over 12k. (12,800$) I would have liked a more professional experience where pricing didn't keep changing and for Christian to take the lead on making the stairs braced correctly and safely from jump. He kept saying this is simple we don't need to discuss the job so much. Also I had originally texted him to FaceTime me when he was onsite. He was on time but didn't respond to my texts. Had to wait 20 minutes for a response. He already left the job. Had to drive back to the job to be able to Facetime me. It is a large job that involves a lot of safety concerns. Was really looking for more professionalism to have the job bid correctly from the beginning and the scope of the job to be discussed throughly on time to get it created safely.
