I had a wonderful experience with Ben at Metal Smoke Design. He did an outstanding job on an unusual project. He was honest, pleasant and responsive, and took the time required to do the job right. All of the railings are sturdy and beautiful.
Description of Work: We have an underground garage with a sidewalk above the driveway leading into it and 2 stairwells going down to it. We needed to replace the hand rails going down each stairwell, the railings around each stairwell, and the railing along the sidewalk, above the driveway.

Metal Smoke Design did a great job on my welding repair. I scheduled a visit to discuss, and ended up getting the repair completed immediately. Dan was knowledgeable, helpful, and very competent. The cost was reasonable, and his work quality was excellent. I would highly recommend him and his business.

We needed a heavy, complex steel stand for a unique project. Ben came on-site to look at our project and accurately described what was needed. He followed up on every call and email and got the job done very quickly. We were extremely impressed.
Description of Work: Ben built a heavy-duty cantilevered steel stand for our project.

Solid company to deal with. Very responsive to emails and texts. Project went well
Description of Work: I had a loading dock bumper that became damaged and I needed it reattached before the dock started taking hits from the trucks backing up. The first repair didn't hold well, but Ben was very quick to come back out and make things right. This was no fault of the workmanship, but rather how our dock was engineered many years ago. Would definitely use them again for future projects

A little glitch at the end about who was supposed to remove the old railing but the new railing was totally worth it. Really fine work and solid installation
