I would give Matt more than 5 stars if I could! A bigger company quoted me thousands of dollars to replace a missing rail piece. Matt was much more responsive and gave me a much fairer price.

Great work at a very reasonable price. Matt was down to earth and personable. The cost of his actual work came in under the quoted price, something pretty unheard of in this day and age. I'd re-hire him in a minute if I need any welding work done in the future.

One walk through to inspect Matt’s work will say it all. His welding wills are above reproach and the fabrication and joints he did were above expectation. I worked in management for in an industrial environment in excess of 50 years and here is an example of someone who does it the way it should be done!
