Wanted to give a big thanks to the team at ARC Metal Fabrication…read more Our front steps are a bit tall and didn't have a handrail. Being seniors we felt having a handrail was wise so we contacted Vanessa at ARC and reviewed their architectural metals catalog and found just what we wanted. The cutting, welding and finishing work done in the shop was super and the installation was expertly done by Jim and Wes - thanks guys! We're very pleased with the results and feel better knowing we have a solid and attractive handrail to support us for many years to come. Can't say enough about ARC and definitely recommend them for all your metal work projects.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Arc Metal Fabrication! We…read morecontacted them to modify our existing curved banister railings and add a decorative hammered "vine" motif. They were able to re-purpose the top and bottom framework and add conceptual vine motif. Our initial contact was with Jen, Arc's = office Manager. She was super-helpful and scheduled an estimate right way and explained our options. Jim and Wesley promptly made a site visit and were just great and gave us design guidance on the project and project timeline. They also coordinated with our floor/stair refinisher, a prorject which was going on simultaneously. We were so delighted with the railings and the entire process! FIVE GOLD STARS FOR THE ARC TEAM!​​​​ HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Every step of the way he was keeping me posted on the progress. Where the parts were, where my project was in line. We even had a good conversation about the three options I had to repair a problem. After working through everything we were able to come to a conclusion, get the project done. And this is a long awaited review because 2 years later (and many fairly abusive miles later) the Samurai runs stronger than ever. Thanks James!

Because I spoke to when I bought my second item from him. Did it go smoothly? No. I had to call back a couple of times and I didn't get returned phones calls. In the end though, I got the item I needed and I was able to fix my dishwasher. When you walk into this business it is like walking back into time. You don't see stores like this anymore. It's has motors and parts all over the store. If they don't have it, they can definitely get it for you. My fist order went as smooth as silk. Got my order in 1 day. My advice is be patient and appreciate this store. I have lived in the Monterey County area for over 30 years and there is not another store like this anywhere. I wish I would have found this place sooner.

He even installed it for us in no time flat! This community is blessed to have such a generous and skilled business owner. Thank you, good sir. You got us back on the road safely and quickly.
