"Sean was hired days before the Covid shut down. I was worried about the uncertainty of what would happen to my project. Sean remained in touch with me and finished the job as soon as he was able following state guidelines. His team was courteous and efficient."

"Wow, these guys are fast! They were able to get me a quote within a day of making the request and gave me a flat rate with no BS. They even worked with me when I had to adjust my bid based on feedback from my city inspector, and got me the adjusted price back the same day. I'll definitely be calling them when I need to get some new handrails on my roof!"

"Workers were on time and delivered our fencing needs as quoted. As return customers and especially as Seniors, we're quite pleased with how polite, respectful and how trustworthy Goodrow's was once again. We're happily retaining them for a deck project and looking at some additional projects later this year exclusively with Goodrow's!"

"He did an amazingly wonderful job. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. The railings that he designed and fabricated are beautiful. There is not a single rough spot or obvious weld mark on any of them. He recommended steel with a powder coat and they are perfect. He was always on time, he always notified me before he came to my house, he is a true professional all the way through. I couldn’t be more happy!"

"OMG I love my new fence, they came when they said they would. They did the work, cleaned up all the mess and I am so excited to allow my large breed dog outside now. Not to worry if the kids next door will tease or bother me or my dog again. 6 feet high and privacy slates is the way to go, I am bragging to everyone I know, LOVE LOVE LOVE my fence and the price was prefect. Thank you, Duke for doing such a wonderful job. I will call you again if I need to upgrade my chainlink."

Metal fabrication is a large-scale project that may or may not involve welding, while welding is more often a step in larger fabrication projects.

It will likely take an experienced pro less than an hour to install a ground rod, which is another reason why letting them handle the job is such a good idea. Safety concerns aside, it would likely take you much longer to install a ground rod if you decided to take this one as a DIY job.
