We just had new windows installed at our home, so we needed to remove three fixed window guards for…read morethat installation. We wanted one of them converted to a hinged guard for emergency exit from a garden level room. I got estimates from three companies. Shield Iron Works offered the best price, but the prompt and detailed communications with Jordan at Shield were another factor in me choosing them. We ended up having Jordan sandblast and powdercoat all three guards (which were 48 years old with a scaling and rusting black finish). Jordan was able to match the hammer-finish dark silver-brown powdercoat of our newer security door, and all three guards came out looking great. It was an absolute pleasure working with Jordan from start to finish, and I'm very pleased with the quality and value of the work.

I called this company after someone had broken into our home. I wanted grates that lock from the…read moreinside, to cover our egress window wells for added home security. The owner called me as soon as he received our message on his answering machine, told me how to do the needed measurements, made the grates, and got them to me with no trouble, and all for a very reasonable price. And from two states away! The local business that I found to do this , had quoted me $350.00 per grate, ($700.00 for my two) when we first moved in to the home, six years ago. This company made them for less than $180.00 per grate. Even though they're in CO and I live in MT, they will get all of my future business for metal work. Definitely worth paying the postage. Excellent customer service, workmanship and honesty.

It's hard to put into words how wonderful our experience was with David at MetalArc. We had…read morecompleted a beautiful high end kitchen remodel and the crowning jewel was to be the metal and glass cabinet doors that our architect had drawn in. However, the company she had used in the past wouldn't call me back. I found MetalArc using Google. And I'm beyond happy I did. First, their commitment to their craft is top notch. They will work diligently to get the project right. The level of refinement that we were looking for with these doors was not a hurdle they shied away from but rather they accepted the challenge and worked side by side with me to get it exactly right. The finished product is stunning, we couldn't be happier. Second, David's level of communication is a rarity. He is such a well spoken, clear and eloquent communicator. It is a lost art in today's day and age. I was impressed time and time again with his clarity and thoughtfulness in every conversation and email. This was truly a "project" that required communication and collaboration and he impressed me time and time again. Third, he is a good man whose primary goal was not only meeting but exceeding expectations. On top of being an expert in his craft, he has mastered being a good person. I can't say enough good things about him (and his brother, Joseph!). Thank you we will continue to sing your praises.

We hired Metal Arc to fabricate and install custom steel shelving. I want to be fair from the…read moreoutset -- the shelves do look good now -- but getting to that outcome was far more stressful and frustrating than it should have been for a custom fabrication project. There were multiple measurement errors throughout the process. They mismeasured twice and had to come back to redo work, which felt sloppy and avoidable given the scope and cost of custom metalwork. More concerning were the alignment issues: the shelving did not align cleanly with the wall or even with itself. Metal Arc did not take accountability for these issues, and I was genuinely surprised that they considered this an acceptable finished deliverable. Because this was never properly resolved by Metal Arc, we ultimately had our painter use black tape to visually hide the gaps. That solution felt lazy and disappointing, and not something I expected to need after paying for custom work. Scheduling also added to the frustration. They were extremely evasive about confirming an installation date, which made it difficult to coordinate other contractors and keep our overall project on track. Communication throughout was another challenge. David was often long-winded and repetitive, which caused simple issues to drag on unnecessarily. He was also surprisingly aggressive about me not being present for a walkthrough, despite my husband being there, checking in multiple times, and being told by David's brother that he was "just there for measurements." I do believe they want to do good work, but they lack business professionalism, clear communication, and accountability. That combination created a lot of stress and uncertainty about whether we were actually going to reach a finished result. In the end, aside from the taped workaround, I'm happy with how the shelves look -- but the process was exhausting enough that I would proceed very cautiously or look elsewhere next time.

Then I had to go back and ask for another quote because of project changes. No problem, Doug just took another sheet of paper and did my revised parts list, prices, everything. Disaster struck when my budget was exceeded by 50% and I had to go back a third time to get a revised quote. Every time Doug was understanding and patient. Unbelievable. Finally I sent an email to Doug with follow-up questions and got my answers the next morning. Mind you, all this time the poor guy hadn't sold me a thing. But never did he show impatience, frustrating with my limited understanding as a DIY guy with big plans and little money. I still haven't bought any stuff relating to the project I am referring to though I will in about 3 months from now. If you feel you need a little help, are not a pro and deal with a vendor who makes you feel good and understands your limitations and then takes all the time in the world to help you, you have found that rare person of whom there very, very few left in this business. Doug is one-of-a-kind and I would highly recommend working with him. Their prices are moderate and not the cheapest nor the highest. Check them out. (No, I do not work for this outfit nor have any particular reason to rave about them but when you come across a small company like this you feel compelled to promote them because they are so rare).
