Posted on Steve QuonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been searching for years to find one company who would supply and build a metal building from start to finish. After comparing the few reputable companies who offer full service, I chose Fabri-Steel West. I am completely satisfied with the service, construction, timeliness and overall value. John, Nicolas and Chris guided me every step of the way until my building was finalized by the County, yesterday. They made good on leaf screens that were not installed and a piece of flashing that needed to be secured by renting a lift and quickly scheduling the repairs. I could not be happier with the workmanship and high regard for my property during construction. Good etiquette and professional service from this company made my dream a reality. Thank you.Posted on Crystal BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just finished working with John and Nick on a 40x50 shop. We looked a manufacturers online and locally and we just felt good better about going with Fabri-Steel West. The experience was fabulous from start to finish. They communicated, the job site was always clean and they have continued to be responsive even after the build. It was a great experience and we love our new building!Posted on Dave BealTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I work in commercial real estate management. We had a relatively new metal building that had been severely damaged by a bad tenant's crazy forklift driver. After going out to bid with multiple vendors, we found FS West to be the most competitively priced. The team at Fabri Steel West made the entire process seamless and smooth. Everything looks like new again! John, thank you to you and your awesome team for providing quality work and great pricing!Posted on Jeff JacobsenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Johns crew came the day they said and finished ahead of schedule.Posted on Carrie StowersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are very happy with Fabri Steel West. John was great at communicating throughout our entire process. He spent a lot of time with us explaining our choices and going over options and pricing. Then he had our building delivered on time and was flexible with dealing with our concrete subs and our county permit process. We highly recommend his company. The shop looks fantastic. Thank you John!Posted on Sara GlassTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just finished a custom metal hangar with the wonderful help of Fabri-Steel West. John was professional, reliable,punctual, and great at communicating all steps of our project. He was helpful when dealing with El Dorado county, and knew their requirements well. Our project went smoothly during all phases. John demonstrated both awesome craftsmanship and customer service. A few of our panels came in scratched from the manufacturer and John immediately requested replacements without us even asking. Our building looks awesome, and we will gladly use Fabri-Steel West in future projects!
