Quality Work Leads to Beautiful Results…read more Skyline Metal Fabrication is the absolute best! We hired Skyline to replace our wooden backyard fences (fences that flank both sides of our property) with steel/wood privacy fences. The entire experience was handled very professionally. The process started with Ramiro, the owner and leader, visiting us to ask about/listen to what we wanted in a fence. Ramiro spent a fair amount of time with us to ensure full understanding of what the project would entail. Within a few days, Ramiro provided a fair estimate. Based on the reviews we read about his team's work and on our initial experience with Ramiro, we hired Skyline Metal Fabrication. Within a reasonable time frame (about 8 weeks in our case), Ramiro and the Skyline Metal Fabrication team was on site to start work. We found the entire crew to be friendly, considerate, conscientious, expedient, professional and hard-working. The team always accommodated our need to let our dog in the back yard to do her business without a hitch. They arrived on time and stayed until they completed what they needed to accomplish each day. They were also careful to clean up at the end of each day. Within five working days, our steel/wood privacy fence was complete. The work is of the highest quality, as the team focused on every detail, spending the time it took to ensure a beautiful result. We are particularly pleased with the excellent craftsmanship of the ornamental lattice work that tops our privacy fence. We can't recommend the Skyline team highly enough. We are extremely happy with their work. Anyone considering similar metalwork will be as well.

Even if I had expectations, Steve's service would have demolished them. I go into the shop, expecting to hear back in a week or so, and within ten minutes of leaving his shop, he calls us saying that the bed frame piece was fixed. I had been struggling with this project for almost two weeks, and Steve managed to fix it faster than the drive-tru at ChicFilA. I am still shocked and amazed at the affordable price and quick turnaround I received. If you have some stupidly proprietary piece of metal from some project that you have bungled, don't waste your time searching for an affordable replacement which will never exist. Save time and just take it to Steve so he can give you the result you initially wanted from the beginning.

Once the details were finalized, it was turned around in just a few hours and it was exactly what I needed! Steven was extremely generous with his time and advice. His incredibly friendly personality paired with enthusiasm for the craft is rare to find these days. Beyond the excellent work, the owner is a Chicago legend. Honored to have Steven's services so close by in the Western Suburbs. I will definitely be using them again for any fabrication!

Whitney and the team did a fantastic job refurbishing an old heaven hill whiskey barrel that I had…read morein my living room. I was using it as an extension of my bar. I really liked it, but it was in a sad shape. There was a gooey residue on the barrel that would sometimes leave imprints on peoples clothes if they brushed up against it. And the barrel hoops kept falling down. Chicago fabrications brought the barrel back to life. They did an excellent job sanding and staining the barrel and cleaning up the metal hoops and fastening them so they would no longer slip down the barrel. And all that residue is gone. It looks like a million bucks and I would definitely recommend them for any projects you may be thinking of

I first met Ben as a fellow sponsor for our club Chicago Auto Club West (CACW) and got to know him fairly well before having used his services. He was always the first one to jump in and help or provide advice on other projects. After being to his business and seeing his meticulous custom fabrication skills on several occasions I was reassured he was going to be the only choice among many other that I truly felt 100% confident in completing the work on my 2020 Ferrari 812 Superfast project. Ben and his team walked me through every step and what to expect prior to even dropping off the 812 Superfast. Almost instantly after dropping off the Ferrari with him, he was sending me consistent updates via text, photos and best of all high quality videos explaining exactly what was going on. There wasn't any point of time during the project that I had to call him or go check in on the progress, he was reaching out to me so I always knew the status. This was honestly the best customer service I've ever seen! Hochman Fabrication And Speed was installing a Fabspeed exhaust, Novitec Sport Springs and Spacers on the 812 Superfast for me that I had already purchased. Looking back at it I should have been more patient and went with one of his custom fabricated exhaust since we ran into a design flaw with the exhaust I brought him. After installing the exhaust Ben quickly caught things weren't sealing properly causing a leak. His experience and skill was proven at this point because he analyzed the problem, had the solution, fixed the issue and was back on track in under 30min!! This blew my mind! Most other would have probably spent countless hours trying to figure it out or walked away. Not these guys! They pushed through and had it resolved in not time at all!! Getting into this project I was expecting Hochman Fabrication And Speed to need the Ferrari for about a week. To my surprise they were able to knock out everything in 3 days with no corners cut and everything tested to ensure a high quality install!! Since they were installing new springs on a car that has a front lift and tinkering with the exhaust I was anticipating possible dashlight, codes or calibration that would be done by a Ferrari service center and I don't know how Ben and his team did it but that was not the case at all!!!! After their work no dash lights came on, front lift in full working order and nothing needs calibration! Which probably saved me a good chuck of change if I had to take it to the stealership. Thank you Ben and the team at Hocman Fabrication And Speed!! You all have earned a customer for life and can't wait to bring you the next project!!
