Double H.

After doing some research from Yelp, I contacted a few places, but decided on Soco Metal Works to install a small railing and to refinish an existing railing. Craig & Jim were very responsive, respectful, and professional. Their workmanship is impeccable and their pricing is very reasonable! They cleaned up after the work was completed. I love the railing and will definitely recommend Soco Metal Works to my friends! Thank you Craig and Jim, you two are AMAZING!

It's so nice to get great service and quality! We called SoCo Metal Works with an urgent need and they came out the same day, gave us an estimate and installed within the same week. They were responsive to our requests and worked with us to achieve exactly what we needed for our handrails. Thank you Jim and Craig!

Jim and Craig were absolutely amazing! Loved working with them to develop a custom office sign. They were extremely patient and easy to work with throughout the entire process. They were exactly on time with the project work, and surpassed our expectations. Thank you guys for the amazing work!

We were needing a couple of small repairs on our metal fence and gate but could not get anybody to do so as it was a 'small job'. Finally we decided to check on Yelp, put out a request and within the hour had a couple of responses. One of them was Craig of Soco Metal works. I sent him pictures of our repair request, we got on a call and discussed the process, the time, the cost, then agreed on a date. On the day of the work, they came on time and started working immediately. Before I knew it, they were done and completed the work in less time than anticipated. Needless to say their work was perfect, you could not tell there was ever anything to repair. These guys do not have many reviews in Yelp, but do not let that deter you from hiring them. They are professionals, punctual and trustworthy, and their cost is very reasonable. They are ready and willing to help with any repairs, big or small. We were luck to have found these guys on Yelp, and are happy to recommend them. We will not hesitate to hire these guys for any of our future projects. See before and after pictures of the repair.

Emailed Jim and Craig with photos illustrating my problem and what I needed. They responded quickly and reassured me what I was requesting was possible. Brought in the clamps the next week. Craig was able to provide an estimate and turn around time on the spot. Had (albeit small) project done within 24 hours complete with powder coating! Very happy with the results and turn around time. Pricing was reasonable and happy to support a local. My only other option was to replace the extremely large and heavy table top of an otherwise perfectly functional cutting table. So glad that wasn't necessary.

This is a great company and Craig was a great communicator. Prices were competitive and he also patiently helped with my parents who didn't really want to need a hand rail but really do need it. He was sweet with them too and they are very happy with his work. He showed up exactly when he said he would too. Estimate on timeframe to complete the work was also very accurate. Thanks so much on all levels.

After repairs....( tenant added wire to secure very small dog).

I needed an older metal gate repaired at my rental property. I was beyond pleased with the response speed and the price was much lower than I expected. The gate was picked up, repaired and painted and returned in 1 day!! I was amazed! The gate looks great! I will recommend this company to anyone and I will use them again!!

I contacted Craig via Yelp on a Sunday and he responded right away and we set up an appointment and showed up on time measured and recommended to fix other areas and which I agreed and he gave me a reasonable price. Gave him the deposit and he promised me to do the job the following week. He send me photos of the status of the materials and it was done and yes they showed up Tuesday of this week and did the job quickly and cleanly. I wasn't home and yet he sent me pictures of the finishing job. When I got home I checked everything and everything was done as promised. I am really happy with the job and professionalism. I do have a future job for them and yes I will be contacting them again. Thanks guys!!! I've included a before and after pictures.

We had Soco add 80 feet of welded fencing to our home. They were so communicative through the whole process. We couldn't be happier with the result. Thank you Jim and team for a job well done!

This helps to keep people from loitering (and living) outside of our commercial building.

Miracle Fix: Jose and Lorenzo Saved My Miata. Answer to my…read moreprayers. Expert welders and fabricators. My Mazda developed a loud rattling and knocking noise underneath and no one could figure out why. I went to eight different shops. Each one gave me a different guess: heat shields, engine mounts, catalytic converter, "play in the differential," you name it. Nothing made sense, and the noise was so annoying at red lights and/or with foot on the brake . Finally, one honest shop (Thanh Auto in Garden Grove) spotted the real culprit: a big clean crack in the aluminum mounting bracket attached to the differential housing. Every mechanic I spoke with afterward told me the same thing: "Only solution is to drop the entire differential and replace it." Translation: very expensive. Thanh's expert ( Keith) suggested welding the crack, but every welding shop I contacted said the same thing -- "No space. We'd have to remove the differential before welding. Almost as costly as replacing the whole diff." Then I found Jose at OC Fabrication on Yelp. Within minutes of sending him a photo, he replied ...fast, professional, and confident. He said it might be doable without removing the diff, but he needed to inspect in person. He even gave me two honest estimates: a higher price if the diff needed to come out, and a much lower one if he could reach it in place. He squeezed me in after hours the very next day. He and his welder Lorenzo crawled under the car, inspected the crack, and confirmed they could do it without removing anything. They carefully jacked the differential to realign the broken ear, cleaned the aluminum, welded it beautifully, and then reinforced it with additional metal. All in under 90 minutes. When we test drove the car afterward -- night and day. Smooth. Quiet. Solid. The rattling and knocking that haunted me for a weeek? Gone. Jose told me straight: most shops wouldn't even attempt this kind of repair. But he and Lorenzo took it on with skill, confidence, pride in their craft, and real customer care. They solved a problem that eight other shops shrugged at. I can't recommend these guys enough. Professional, talented, honest, and genuinely passionate about their work. Bravo, Jose and Lorenzo. Many thanks. Bonus: Their shop is amazing -- full of unique custom fabrication projects, metalwork, and creative builds. Kudos for their skill and craftsmanship and care.

Super friendly, fast response time, professional, and did great work. Highly recommend!read more

Another fine craftsman, found on Yelp!…read more I found GoFab when searching for machine shops and metal fabricators on Yelp. The reviews looked great, so I did my usual armchair vetting by checking the reviews on Fakespot.com, a website that verifies the legitimacy of user reviews. GoFab is rated "Grade A"! I wanted to replace an automated front door lock with a newer wireless model. The only problem was that the newer lock face plate is smaller than the old one. This would leave exposed screw holes in our door which would be obvious, even if patched. I needed a custom decorative plate to cover the old holes. I stopped by GoFab and met Jason, a surprisingly young man for being proprietor of such an advanced shop. He instantly understood what I wanted. Within two days he emailed me a detailed shop drawing of my piece. It was exciting to see my idea one step closer to reality! I should mention that this was a bit of a rush job which Jason finished for me in ample time. The finished product is beautiful and fully serves its purpose, the cost was reasonable and Jason is an exceptionally nice person. I am happy to recommend GoFab and to add my 5-Star review to their growing list of perfect reviews.

He does a very beautiful job and you can tell that he really enjoys his work. I commissioned Mirai's Blood Sword from Kyoukai no Kanata and it turned out exactly as I pictured it! It was the correct length and the curves were very nice. He even beveled the edges to give it 3D dimension. The only thing I am concerned about is the blade being too heavy for the handle. Other than that, it was beautiful! I would definitely commission Jason for future products. I have been recommending him to some friends as well. If you have a project, you should ask him for a quote!!

Imagine a roll of quarters laid perfectly overlapping on their sides, that will give you an idea as to the precision of the welds.

Mike not only cleaned up the mess, but he listened to my vision of how I wanted it to look, and then executed to perfection! You would have to look real hard to find a better welder, and turns out he's a nice guy too. Highly recommend!
