Get matched with top metal fabricators and restorers in Strafford, MO

"Basically, I had a cracked patio that former owner agreed to pay $2500 towards the repair of and I had severe drainage issues because there is a hill and water gushes onto patio and into crawl space. Rose's price on patio was higher, but I chose him because he said he would do 2 concrete stairs and the other contractor said he would do cinder block stairs. Also chose Rose because both said I needed a 40' drain created that ran parallel to the patio so the water never got to the patio and Rose was cheaper on that. The bid included $200 for a concrete step which I didn't realize was only for one, my fault since that would likely be too low, but the price was worth it. At the end of the job there were no steps so I asked and he stated he decided it wouldn't be good for either the patio or the house or both and he scratched that off the list of to-dos without consulting me. I still haven't been able to get steps and have to step up (and down) approx. 1-2 feet; I am 64. My brother who has been a concreter dispatcher for 30 years in CA looked at it after the fact and said there is no way he could do those steps for under $1000 and he had to know that. He took out my walkway which had no cracks whatsoever because he said it would help with the drainage and replaced with an exact replica of the previous one. I think he planned on doing something with the dirt between the house and the walkway for drainage but nothing was ever done except for leveling the dirt up to the day before the job "was done". So not sure what I was charged $600 for. He said they were almost done so I asked what about the 40' drain. He stated he had no recollection of us talking about that and I must be thinking of someone else. Finally agreed on a curb to block water for additional $900. Guess happy with, but need to address drainage along curb. Paid him in full which he was very aggressive about even though I had to wait for reimburse. Wouldn't meet me to cash $2500 after got but in his name."

"I had an ornamental windmill that the wind blew down and damaged the 6 foot fan. James did an excellent job straightening the bent metal and rewelding some broken welds. He picked up my fan and took it to his shop in Springfield. I was surprised at how quickly he accomplished the task. He keep me updated by sending me pictures of his progress by phone. While not cheap, his prices were reasonable. I would use him again for a welding or metal straightening project."

"Bought a hay bed off Fab Worx and they installed it fast and cheap and did a good job"

"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."

"I’ve used Greg’s for several years. The work they do is generally good, but their business practices and customer service are terrible. I put up with it in previous years, but this year was the last straw with the unnecessary work and extra charges. Most recently, they performed and charged me for more work on my riding mower than I asked for… essentially a basic tuneup, new tires, and I informed them the deck belt was coming off and asked if they could fix it. They ultimately replaced the belt and charged me over $500. When I received the mower back, it continued to pop off. When they picked up the mower again and they called saying a cover over the belt was missing and that’s why it was coming off. I said it was like that the first time they picked it up so why didn’t they inform me of it the first time? Yet they still charged me for extra pickup/delivery fees. There are plenty of other mower shops out there that are more reliable and more customer service oriented."

"A to Z came in and ran gas lines for my gas range (convert from electric). Very happy with scheduling, time the project took, and professionalism of plumber! A to Z also converted our wood burning fireplace into an infrared electric fireplace and custom built trim to hold the new fireplace in the opening. My husband and I are elderly and the wood fireplace was of no use to us due to the physical aspects of carrying wood and cleaning ash. The electric fireplace is the perfect solution to add warmth while keeping the utility bills low! We have had several home items addressed (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, handyman tasks) by this company and would highly recommend them for all your home needs!"
