Had an absolutely horrible experience dealing with Texas Fabricators. I dropped my boat off with…read moreAndrew Narvaez the owner to repair a small puncture in the pontoon. He had the boat for a week and then told me the repair was done and I needed to Zelle him for payment which I did. We arranged a time for me to pick up the boat, and when I arrived the gate was locked and Andrew would not answer his phone. I left and the following morning Andrew told me that his shop had been broken into, his welding equipment was stolen, he was unable to refund my money, and he could not return my boat because the police were now involved and it was part of an ongoing investigation. Then he told me the gate to his shop was damaged and he couldn't get my boat out. All of this was untrue. I waited outside of his shop all day long and not a single officer was around. Andrew refused to answer my phone calls and said that he was busy "giving a police report." I had to get law enforcement involved to get my boat back and I was told that there was no reported break-in at his shop. When I got my boat back the repair was not done. Instead, there was a large patch, much larger than needed, haphazardly applied, and not even completed. Additionally, his welding equipment was sitting right next to the boat and the gate opened right up. I had to take the boat to another welder to remove the poorly applied patch and redo the entire thing. Andrew never gave me my money back. I DO NOT recommend Texas Fabricators or Andrew Narvaez.

I contacted Texas Fabricators to perform a small, less than a minute, welding job. I was asked to…read morebe at the shop by 8. I arrived at 7:55am. I texted them at 8:15 to let them know that I was still parked outside of the gate. I received a text back, Ok - I'm late- like 10. I called, no answer. I texted back, 10 minutes or 10 o'clock? No answer. Since the shop was 40 minutes from my house, I didn't want to drive home and turn around and drive back. So I sat there till 10:10. I sent another text asking are you on your way? Text response "yes". At 10:38, I sent a text letting them know that I was done! I then got a text back that their car died and they were stranded on the side of the road. I understand unforeseen circumstances that come up, BUT what I don't understand, is the total lack of communication. It really felt like my small job, that they were going to charge $120, wasn't worth their time. I will not be contacting them if I have any future needs for welding services. We are done! I found a shop out of Conroe that performed the work for me. They charged less and the actual welding took less than a minute. They helped disconnect my four batteries and reconnected them when the job was completed. They gave me water and Gatorade while I waited. Use Big Pete's Welding instead.
