Great experience - David was very responsive, and easy to reach through a variety of ways (phone, email, or text). Explained the process well and gave several options to address our issue. Work was done efficiently, and we are very pleased with the outcome!

The four vertical posts in two custom exterior wrought iron stair railings needed to be replaced and the entire railings needed to be sand blasted and repainted. Dave is a person that does his work above expectations. The railings were carefully removed from our custom concrete stair curbs in way to minimize damage to the concrete. They were sand blasted and painted by Adrenaline Customs in White Bear Lake. Adrenaline mainly powder coats custom auto parts. So the appearance of railings after they were painted was far beyond what is obtained with the standard paint can spray. To eliminate staining from cement spatter used to reinstall the railings, the area around each post was carefully covered with cardboard cutouts and masking tape. Nice job, Dave.

I dropped the item off and it was repaired and even fortified and back to me the next day. I would recommend Fat Catz for ALL welding needs. He is a solid professional and a great welder.

Dave is a total pleasure to work with and his professionalism is off the charts. He was on top of the project from day one. Dave provided a free drawing and estimate of the railing within days of contacting him. He took care of the entire job and communicated with me the whole time about what he was doing and how it was going. He even made sure that the powder coating was done perfectly by Adrenaline Customs in White Bear Lake (which I also fully recommend)! Dave came to install the railing when I wasn’t home and did an amazing job. I never had to even lift a finger and I got a perfect new hand rail for a great price. I’d use Dave and Fat Catz again in a heartbeat and will be telling anyone who is interested that there should be no other choice.

Dave is awesome. I called him to tell him about my railing and he came out the very next day. He looked at the railing thought how to fix explained to me in detail. It took a few days due to paint and the holiday but he came back and the railing looks like new. I highly recommend using Fat Catz. Thanks again Dave-John
