Since my last review of smaller projects/repairs (experience was good), I've brought them more…read morebusiness, thousands dollars' worth of business. Everything is good when they are TAKING your money and business. But, once it goes the opposite way (refund), Roger gets NASTY -- I didn't see this side of him before, always with a smile because while taking money in. I brought some parts to be replicated; 1" shaft with the center with a 2" diameter cylinder with 1" flanged bearings. I was suggested another way to "make" the part that would make everything more "simplified" for me, okay, sure. I wasn't sure what he meant, but after minutes of trying to explain to me, I just went with whatever Roger suggested since he would know better about the mechanics of machine parts, etc., He just told me that I would have to source the bearings myself, which is what I did. He asked me if the diameter could be smaller and I said yes. So I trusted his word and went with it. When I picked up the item, he said, "If it doesn't work out, just bring it back". The thing is, I complained after because what he sold me for almost $400, was NOT SOMETHING HE "MADE". It was a part that could be bought online (~16", 1" shaft with 2 shaft collars), which can be found on Amazon for $35 (shaft) + $10 (2 collars). He then said that he bought it McMasterCarr, then quickly changed his wording to "WE MADE IT". So which is it? (I will never know, but my assumption is he got it at McMasterCarr, as he first stated, or another retailer). Then he said, "I'M NOT HERE TO SAVE YOU MONEY." JUST WOW!! It's my fault for not understanding what he was trying to sell me, but it's obvious my lack of knowledge was taken advantage of--I let Roger do what he does. I believe there is a big difference between MAKING something and up charging for labor, etc., vs. buying $40 dollars worth of parts and CHARGING 9X-10X more!! Especially, to someone (me) whom he kept calling "friend" after all the visits/business I gave him. When he did this "work", I also dropped off a small part that had a broken screw stuck in it. He said it was FREE OF CHARGE to extract it. Anyway, when he agreed to refund me for the $400 (16" piece of 1" shaft), BUT he charged me $85 for the screw extraction that he told me that was free! From ~$400 refund, I received $85 less. This costs him nothing (almost literally) to fix easily. $85 FOR A SCREW EXTRACTION--HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!!! He gave it back to me, with a new screw, "I also gave you a screw". (Oh, gee, Thanks, I guess.)--But I didn't need that screw as I have 100's (if not 1000's) of these screws for my parts -- so he acted like giving me this screw in place of the broken one is a huge hook up, after I spent thousands and thousands of dollars here. I paid for this with my personal credit card, but he made out the refund check to the company I work for. So I asked him if he could cut the check out in my name since I'm the one who paid for it. He said, "just give it to your company and have them pay you." I explained to him that I can't do that because of accounting issues, etc. He got mad and he snatched the check out of my hand with an attitude. This right was the last straw. I was still going to give him more business (which I even told him, thanks for the refund and making this right, I'll be back). He told me, "I DONT CARE ABOUT MAKING THINGS RIGHT AND WHAT YOU THINK, I DONT NEED TO RESTORE FAITH IN YOU OR YOUR COMPANY". Okay, fine. ^Great attitude, perfect way to lose business after the fact that I stated that I hope this one issue won't affect future business and that I would be bringing more business. Roger shouldn't be interacting with customers on the front line if that's his attitude and represents your company. On the other hand, Alex is very polite. While Roger was deflecting the situation, blaming it on me, arguing who said what, this and that. Alex is the one who apologized on behalf of C&H Metal with a smile on his face, while Roger was steaming mad at the situation -- just the way he snatched the check out of my hand says it all. ALEX IS THE REAL MVP at C&H Metal, too bad he's not at top management, because management up top is clearly lacking customer service skills and lacking know-how to keep the customer acquisition costs low. I can bet they'll see this review and Google what CAC is because they don't know. Or maybe, they are making so much money, they don't care how they lose a few customers the way they do. Roger (mgmt) just knows how to take money with a smile on their face until you complain about something, then it gets nasty. This is the type of business you don't want to give business to. If you do give business to them, good luck. Hopefully, it's a short stint because eventually an issue will arise, and Roger has a short fuse, and you may not like the way he handles it. This experience was a blessing in disguise because I found a better and CHEAPER shop to do work for me.

Turn around time was fast and reasonable as well. However, because of the design of my roll bar, there is an inside portion of a cutout that I remember telling Gloria should be powder coated. When I found out this part wasn't coated and brought up this issue to Gloria, she didn't have much care to resolve the issue nor offer a halfway solution to fix it. She just simply stated that she didn't recall me pointing it out, and that's it. So overall, I'm some-what happy with the job. The most important part of the job is the exterior of the rollbar, and that got coated came out beautiful. Just disappointed and turned off by the lack in customer service when an issue arise.

The quality is consistently excellent -- clean work, even coverage, no shortcuts, and you can tell they actually know what they're doing. What really sets them apart is how accommodating they are. They've fit me in last minute more than once, and I've been incredibly lucky to have parts turned around in an hour or two when timing lined up and they were already running a batch. I don't expect that for everyone, but the fact that they're willing to work with you when they can says a lot. Pricing is more than fair. Honestly, other shops would've charged two, three, even four times as much for the same small parts -- and the results still wouldn't come close to what I get here. I've done "package deals" elsewhere and the quality wasn't even in the same conversation. Fast, fair, and top-tier workmanship. If you care about quality and don't want corners cut, this is the place.

I had an urgent need to install an outdoor gate because of some issues with a neighbor trespassing…read moreonto my property. I reached out to a lot of fabricators, and Ramon from Blanco Welding was the only one who responded quickly, even on a Sunday, and took the time to actually listen and understand what I needed. From our first phone call, he asked the right questions, understood the urgency, and even gave me a rough quote right away. The quote was extremely fair. Not the cheapest, not the most expensive, but absolutely worth it for the level of attention and service. I'll be honest. I definitely gave Ramon a bit of a runaround in the beginning. I was unsure if I wanted to go with a fabricator I had used before, unsure of the design, unsure of the specs, and basically back and forth for almost a month. Through all of that, Ramon stayed patient, respectful, and never pressured me. He helped me think through weather factors, climate, long term durability, and what was genuinely needed versus overkill. We went over gauge, weight, measurements, and even used drawings and AI mockups to make sure we were 100 percent aligned. Ramon takes direction very well, but he also gives logical, thoughtful feedback. I originally wanted a much heavier gauge steel, and he explained why it wasn't necessary. I'm glad he did, because the final gate is perfect. What I appreciated even more was the transparency throughout the entire fabrication process. They sent me photos while they were building the gate, photos of the gate after metallizing, and photos after powder coating. And something I absolutely did not expect -- before metallizing and powder coating, they actually brought the raw fabricated gate to my home, hung it temporarily, and let me see it in person to make sure the design felt right. That level of effort and communication is extremely rare and truly made me feel confident. The final product turned out exactly how I wanted. The timeline took a little longer, but that was due to delays on my end, not theirs. I also want to mention this. After our first consultation, I read some of the older reviews and honestly got nervous. But after going through the process myself, I believe a lot of those reviews come from unrealistic expectations or misunderstandings about metal fabrication. Steel reacts to weather, weight, movement, and climate. It will expand, contract, or shift slightly over time. That is not the fabricator's fault. That is metal and nature. My experience with Ramon was the opposite of what I feared. Clear communication, patience, transparency, honesty, and a willingness to make sure I understood every part of the process. Installation went well. The only piece of feedback I have is just clearer communication about the exact arrival time, but once the team was here, the installation was clean and done well. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the gate and with the entire experience. Ramon has definitely earned more business from me. His pricing is fair, his work is solid, and he genuinely cares about his customers getting the right thing. To anyone reading this, my advice is simple. Do your due diligence and understand the material you're buying. If you choose a thin gauge steel, it will behave like thin gauge steel. If you don't powder coat, you may get rust. That is nature, not the fabricator. Set realistic expectations and communicate clearly. If you do, you'll have a great experience like I did. Highly recommend Blanco Welding.

I had stair railings fabricated and installed by Ramon and his crew in late 2025 as part of a full…read morehome renovation. Ramon specifically advised that the new railings would be built to meet current residential code requirements and would be taller than the originals. The pricing was reasonable, and based on that guidance, we moved forward. At final inspection, the railings failed. They were built approximately 1 inch below the required height, which required additional work on my end to bring them into compliance. I reached out multiple times to Ramon and his shop lead, Mario, to address the issue, but received no response. I ultimately had to resolve the problem myself to pass inspection. Separately, the quality of the wood caps was below expectations. Scratches upon install and a very poor job staining the wood. Based on my experience, I would not recommend using this company.
