From engraving Yeti's for holiday gifts, to even helping my husband with a NATCA award for their team building golf outing. Patty is always professional and the work is on time and always exceeds expectations! Patty engraved this charm for my Aunt whose mother sadly passed away. She helped beautifully capture her cursive handwriting on a charm my aunt wears every day to remember her Mom. I purchased this charm from State Street Jewelers and they also highly recommend Patty for jobs they need assistance with and have been working together for years. Patty is my go to locally owned and operated engraving business and wouldn't go anywhere else. Patty rocks!

Patty is extremely unprofessional and rude. We have worked with her over the past year and the…read morequality is not up to par nor consistent. We would often be missing items, receive double of an item we did not ask for, and plates would come scratched and damaged. Screw holes were never in the same place, font would be off center, and the pricing is way too high compared to other places nearby. She never keeps a log of when items are paid for, only when the order was placed, so it made our bookkeeping a nightmarish experience I will be happy to be done with. Do yourself a favor and go to Doc Morgan for your engraving needs. They are cheaper with better and consistent quality.

It turns out Jim Henry Inc. is an 80 year old business which provides frames, certificates, and…read morewhat I'll call trinklets (small plaques and trophies, medallions, pins, pendants, etc) mostly for the medical profession.  I ordered a gift frame for my son's medical board certificate and being sorta in the Chicagoland neighborhood and to save $19 in shipping cost, I queried and was amicably agreed a physical pickup in lieu of shipping.  After just a few days' wait for the frame prep, I also got to meet Chris McClurg, the friendly president of the company who while presenting my purchase also gave me a little tour of their office and product displays.  They are located in a quaint industrial section of St. Charles and near the DuPage airport.  They have customers from all over the world.  I made an observation that businesses like Jim Henry have longevity by finding a solid niche and with theirs being mostly (but not exclusively) associated with the medical profession.  I noticed how all of the son's celebrated milestones (diplomas, degrees, certifications, etc) came with different sized certificates and each had their own preferred frame supplier - what a racquet I thought!  Anyway, this was most certainly a one time visit, but I mentioned to Chris that because he had a Yelp listing with no info nor reviews, I would oblige him with a written thank you and a little PR, and here it is!

My original plan to use the CO2 laser at our library, but that plan fell through. After speaking with multiple companies, I ended up calling Steve at Create Cut Invent. Steve was able to take my design and perform the etching and cut it out in the shape I needed. It turned out amazing and my daughter is going to love it. Communication with Steve was excellent and he completed the project very quickly; even though it was not a large-scale project. When I picked up my item, I got to see Steve's gallery of work at the shop and was amazed. The range of projects he can tackle, including extremely small intricate pieces, is utterly amazing. I am sure I will be reaching out to Steve again to help me personalize my future woodworking gifts I make for my family and friends. Thanks Steve!

Steve did an…read moreoutstanding job engraving a retirement gift for a colleague of mine, and the entire experience could not have been more pleasant. The craftsmanship, professionalism, prompt service, and attention to detail were exceptional. What started as "just buying a gift" turned into creating something truly meaningful and personal -- something my friend and his family will remember and appreciate for years. At one point, people suggested I simply buy a gift card and let my colleague choose something himself. I'm so glad I didn't. A personalized gift carries emotions, friendship, memories, and thoughtfulness behind it, and Create Cut Invent helped make that possible. From now on, this will be my go-to place for meaningful and personalized gifts. Highly recommended.

I made clear what changes needed to be made and that there was a timing issue. I even agreed to pay the cost of fixing their mistake but it had to be done asap. I called back a week later to check on the progress and they didn't even start my order! Save you time, money and aggravation and go someplace else. I argued with Paul, the owner to get my deposit back and he refused. I told him I was going to file a civil suit against his business. He laughed and said that I wouldn't waste my time with court as most busy people wouldn't waste their time. Obviously he's done this before. Take you business elsewhere.
