I contacted FIVE fabrication shops before Van Dyke to get what I thought was a simple job. I just needed a support cross beam for a desk cut open to mount rails under. Got a response from 1 with an outrageous quote almost disrespectful. One never followed up even after confirming on the phone they received it (It's been 3 weeks already). The others just never responded. It wasn't until I called Microform which they ALSO ignored my quote request and the representative couldn't even find my quote email (I assume they even deleted it). I was then referred by the representative to Van Dyke Fabrication who is able to do both personal and business jobs. I look them up and realize they are a good distance away from me about 35 minutes. I was shopping locally but I realized at this point why not. Well, I'm thankful for the referral because this fabrication shop is not just good, IT'S QUALITY. I was able to finally get this crossbeam fiasco done after searching for a shop for an entire MONTH. When I originally called, Barbara directed me to email John with a quote request and I was able to drop it off the same day! John even stayed extra to see the part, just to clear up what I needed exactly (He already started the day very early too). John exceeded what I expected! He told me he would have to cut the cross beam by hand with a plasma cutter since it wouldn't fit in the machines due to it's shape, which I was completely happy with since I just needed it cut open. However, when I went to pick up the part, it was replicated ENTIRELY with my request since it was easier than cutting it. Matched and fit just like the old part with improved mounting holes for more tolerance, HOLY SMOKES. This was such a nice gesture of him, it's hard to find honest businesses like this these days. read more

Great capabilities and service. I had some stock laster cut for a project of mine. Appreciate their attention to detail and rates.

I had an odd request for Van Dyke Fabrication - to see if they could "fix" a "commercial grade" metal wedding arch I had bought for my daughter's wedding. Assembly was impossible. Nothing lined up. I had already shipped it back once to the manufacturer who sent it back supposedly "fixed"...but it wasn't! Running out of time, and desparate, I called Van Dyke Fabrication. I was astonished when Barbara told me to bring it in and John would take a look at it. Immediately I rushed it to their shop. John asked if I could leave it for a few days. Hopeful, I said yes. The very next day, he called to say I could pick up the arch! It was fixed! Thanks to Van Dyke Fabrication, my daughter's wedding was saved! I have no doubt that John can do just about ANYthing with metal!!! Friendly, knowledgeable, and fair pricing. It just doesn't get any better than that!!! read more

They don't help people with small projects! Barbara says she will call you and doesn't- very poor customer service. Don't waste your time with this company. read more

Absolutely the best possible place to get anything made. Great people that support the community. They are hard working and honest people. We had them make several things for motorcycles that were great products that we resold. Randy Felice A&S Motorcycles Roseville near Sacramento Dealer Principal read more

Hi, I just wanted to take some time and express my appreciation of Van Dyke Fabrication. I am a Mechanical Design Engineer by education and trade for the past 30 years. I have worked with dozens of fabricators over the years in my work at the Livermore Labs and Aerojet and other high tech design shops. So, when I work and interface with a fabrication facility and have the very positive experience that I have enjoyed with Van Dyke Fabrication, I wanted to let others know. Keep up the great work and a special THANKS to Barbara for all the help and input. read more

Undoubtedly the most creative understanding and helpful place to get work done! They do what they say and as far as it depends on them they get it done when they say they well. John and Barbara are some of the most honest and caring people I know and work with on a regular bases. The products they make for us are always as agreed upon and on time as far as it depends on them they cant control what there suppliers do but they keep you informed of what's going on! read more

DO NOT USE THIS FABRICATOR! Go anywhere else. Honestly, anywhere but here and you will have saved time and money. John is one of the worst people I have had the unfortunate opportunity of working with.To make a long story short, they make promises that are not kept, they do shoty work and it ALWAYS takes much longer than they promise. Barbara, is very kind but is also known for making promises that they simply can't and don't keep. I was promised a product within a certain amount of time and when I called to get an update on the project after I had not heard anything from them and the time had passed, John arrogantly stated that he had not even ordered the material yet and that I was not a priority. Don't waste your time here. read more
