"Top notch! It was a complicated day. Many workers in a small area. Blake focused on getting a lovely wooden fence completed with many feet and trucks shuffling around a small area. He remained congenial and flexible with the whole crowd working. And the fence was complete with all the hardware I requested. I highly recommend him."

In 1996, Robert Hanson, GarageFloorCoating.com’s founder, started a small company that specialized in the installation of residential coating systems (garage floors, walkways, driveways and patios). Robert quickly recognized that the available generic store-grade epoxies were inadequate for use in Arizona’s climatic extremes. Years of intensive R&D ensued, leading to the creation and perfection of proprietary coating products, systems and installation processes. Garage Floor Coating.com is the sole authorized user of our sister company Eco-CorFlex Molecular Industrial Polymers. Eco-CorFlex Industrial Polymers are used in all of our coating applications.

At Allied Iron, we manufacture top-quality wrought iron Entry Doors, Security Doors, Enclosures and Gates in Phoenix. But we don’t stop there. We also offer industry-leading customer service. Our sales staff is with you from sale to install, with technicians available for any build or install questions, and an on-site designer to help with any design needs.

"The first salesman we had was flaky, but he left Allied Iron. Everyone else has been very knowledgable and professional. I like the fact that you can design the door or gate the way you want, not simply select from a fixed list of models. We were able to see how everything, including the door handle is custom built. I like the fact that we were able to see our door and gate before powder coating. We requested a minor change, which they handled no problem. Installation was quick. The product is not cheap, but considering it is a custom product with high quality, it is worth it."

Uncompromising quality and integrity in all of your precious metals purchases and sales. Specializing in gold & silver bullion. Avoid gold and silver retailers selling you their inventory at high premiums! We pay top prices for jewelry, sterling, diamonds and watches! Fisher Precious Metals is a national gold and silver dealer. Listed as a national dealer with the United States Mint, Fisher Precious Metals is a trusted resource for gold and silver coins and bars. Established in 1995, the firm works with individuals on all issues related to buying and selling physical precious metals, storage, security, estate liquidation and long-term exit strategies. John Fisher, the President, is an ICTA Board Member and is approved by the State of Florida to teach Continuing Education courses on precious metals investing to CFP's, CPA's, attorneys and insurance professionals. In addition, John is a frequent guest on various financial radio broadcast programs. Fisher Precious Metals is an A+ rated Accredited Business with the Better Business Bureau.

"It went great! We found Fisher Precious Metals on Angie's List, and after googling them, we found they had very positive reviews across the web. Although it was a 45 minute drive from our home, we felt it might be worth it, and it was. We made an appointment with John via email, arrived at 11:00, and spent just over an hour in his office. He evaluated the sterling silver set we had to sell and gave us what we felt was a very fair price. He'd given us an estimate on the value of the gold coins via email, and although the price of gold had fluctuated since he'd provided the quote, the final price was very, very close to the initial quote. We were happy to learn that they will also buy jewelry, as I have a few pieces I haven't worn in a very long time. We were very pleased with the entire experience and will definitely return to their company when we have gold or silver to sell, and we're happy to recommend them to our friends. One thing to keep in mind is that sterling silver sets are basically worth the price of the silver itself. We knew that going in, so we were not disappointed and, in fact, the price we received was a little higher than we'd expected."

"WARNING!!! BUYER BEWARE!! Know all of the RISKS in doing business with Steel Advantage/Eco Advantage Sun and Security Solutions LLC and its owner, Anthony Gambino. • The owner is very DISHONEST. Over the period of 7 months, the owner told a series of pathetic lies in failed attempts to not refund our deposit. In short, the owner/sales person told us that we could use our superior existing locks and handles on the screen doors we selected. They delivered doors which could not accommodate our hardware. The owner/sales rep did not have the professional courtesy to phone us or email us after we left him several messages regarding “his mistake”. I finally received an email response from him several months later after requesting a refund of our deposit. In an attempt to trick us into accepting the doors he made, he claimed that if we used our hardware on his doors, the door handles and locks (and door crossbars) had to be pool code height (he sent a photo of an unsightly door design). It is hard to believe that the owner of the company could be so incompetent as to make a mistake like this on our order. Based on his interactions with us, and based on the way he has poorly treated so many past customers, I can only conclude that his business was very slow at the time because of COVID (April 2020) and he lied to get the business knowing that we would have a very hard time trying to obtain a refund on our deposit. The owner refused all of our many requests to refund our deposit and did not offer any compromise. In fact, he dared me to sue him. So that is what I did. Consequently, based on all of our documented evidence, we won a small claims judgement against the owner/company and the OWNER STILL REFUSED TO REFUND OUR DEPOSIT!! We then hired an attorney and made a claim against his company’s surety bond. ONCE AGAIN, THE OWNER MADE UP ANOTHER LIE! He told the bond company that he had already refunded our deposit and showed them a back-dated phony check that he never mailed to us. In the end, the owner was forced to refund our deposit and pay for all of our court and legal costs. • READ ALL OF THE MANY NEGATIVE PAST REVIEWS on this Company and Owner. Many past Steel Advantage customers have had had similar experiences with this company and owner: Misrepresentation of products, very poor internal and external/customer communication, no customer service/follow-up, not owning up to, nor rectifying their own mistakes, owner is dishonest, unprofessional and passive/aggressive. Sources: Better Business Bureau, Yelp, Angie’s List, Google Reviews. • READ THE FINE PRINT: Even though the owner touts that his doors are custom, the company’s contract states that “72 hours from the date of the contract the deposit will be NON-REFUNDABLE”. This is one reason why the owner treats his customers so poorly after a sale. He knows that most people will not go through the legal hassle and expense of trying to obtain a refund on their deposit. In short, if this company and owner make a mistake, it is on you! As another past unhappy customer so rightly stated in their review, the true character of a company/owner is not revealed when everything goes right, rather, it is revealed with how the company/owner treats its customers when problems arise and mistakes are made. Integrity is choosing your actions based on values rather than personal gain. This owner has zero integrity because he has repeatedly demonstrated to so many past customers that lying and omission are part of his character. I expect the owner will tell more lies in his response to this honest review."

"Ok, update from the last review I left. I have now had 2 gate companies come out and look at our faulty gates from First Impression. The gates installed had "bullet" hinges. Both companies said they had never been greased upon installation. I was never shown how to oil these because they never did it! How am I to know if they don't show me. So, no grease = seized hinges because they didn't grease them in the first place. I have been oiling all the other parts I saw that should be oiled. The pictures below show that they were not greased. The paint covering the space where they are supposed to be greased. The paint has to be broken, and there is a small silver ball under the paint. When you grease them properly, the paint is punctured, and a silver ball is visible. Last pictures show the hinges that had NEVER been greased, not even upon installation. The paint has not been punctured, which should reveal a small silver ball, where they should have been greased. The first 2 pictures show after the paint has been punctured to reveal the silver ball, where the grease should be placed. They are saying this is my fault because I never read a manual! They want to charge me $990 to repair a gate because it has seized hinges due to them never being greased properly due to poor installation! None of my gates were oiled during installation. Thus, never has been oiled! This is my fault?"

Metal Fabrication and Restoration questions, answered by experts

Steel windows are durable and last a long time, but not in all weather conditions. If you live near the ocean, these windows might not be the best choice, as the saltwater breeze can corrode the metal. Steel windows are also more expensive than other types of windows. However, with that high price point comes a sleek, distinctive design that many homeowners find appealing, especially for modern decor. You can also restore steel windows to get a longer lifespan from them, so they can last longer than vinyl, aluminum, and even wood.

Since cesspits must be watertight to prevent leakage and contamination, so they’re typically constructed from one of a few tough materials. Most cesspits are made from fiberglass, concrete, polythene, or steel. Each of these materials carries certain advantages—fiberglass, for example, is resistant to corrosion but may be more prone to cracking if it’s at high capacity.

If you don’t want to rely on paint to change the color of your stainless steel surface, there are a few other methods, but they require specialized equipment and skills. Some examples include powder coating, applying pigmented powder via an electrostatic gun, and electrostatic painting, which uses wet paints and has a less durable finish. The cost of powder coating is $40 to $600 per part, and electrostatic painting averages $60 per hour.

Pet-resistant, vinyl-coated polyester is one of the strongest window screen materials available, with some manufacturers touting a 7x increase in strength compared to standard fiberglass screens. Stainless steel security screens are also extremely strong, but they’re not suitable for coastal areas due to the risk of corrosion from salty sea air. If sea air isn’t a concern, stainless steel is extremely tough.

If you're choosing sheet metal for a home exterior or outdoor enclosure, stainless steel is the most popular option because of its durability, weather resistance, and affordability. At $8 to $19 per square foot, stainless steel falls in the middle of the range for sheet metal fabrication cost while offering some of the best performance.
