From the initial consultation to the finished product, everything was handled with professionalism and clear communication. What really impressed me was their ability to take complex welding requirements and deliver precise, durable, and clean results. You can tell they take pride in their work. On top of that, they're certified and highly knowledgeable, which gave me confidence that the job was done right the first time. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and trustworthy welding company, AM Welding is the one to call. I'll definitely be using them again and recommending them to anyone in need of welding services!

For the smaller gate repair he texted me the following: This small gate I cant repair it. Its far beyond a repair. It needs a new door. Hinge repairs is usually what takes me 3 hours. Also, Victor the owner said i have to charge more. I was out there too long for just a gate repair. 10/23/2025, 10:46 AM The next morning I told Michael to hold off until I get a better idea on how to fix this gate.

I have a handy man contractor that is able to do the repairs that I can trust. Good Kid Welding is a money grab scam. I would be very cautious in using them. He is choosing projects that are easy and can generate revenue right away. They would quote a complete re-make of the gate to make higher revenue, but could not help with the repairs to the fence, which take too long to make their quick buck. These guys are in it for themselves and not for the customer. Update: This is what the Vendor replied..(very professional...not!) and he is trying to scam me for $300 on Venmo today.

We hired Ferrara Metal Works to replace a railing that had been poorly fabricated and installed by…read moreanother contractor, so by the time we contacted Charlie and his team, we were already frustrated, skeptical, and frankly pretty stressed about having to redo brand-new work. The difference was immediate. Ferrara's attention to detail, craftsmanship, communication, and pride in the finished product were exceptional. They took the time to understand what had gone wrong previously, explained the right way to approach the replacement, and then executed it with a level of care that restored our confidence. What impressed us most was the quality of the fabrication and finish, but equally important was the way the crew worked. They were thoughtful, precise, respectful of the property, and clearly cared about getting every detail right rather than simply getting the job done. After such a disappointing experience with the original railing, seeing the finished work from Ferrara was a huge relief. The contrast in workmanship was night and day. If you are looking for a metal fabricator who takes real pride in the work and stands behind the quality of the result, I would recommend Ferrara Metal Works without hesitation.

Looking around their inventory gave the same feeling of walking into a candy store as a child, they have/had everything I needed.

I spent half as much for the supplies I needed here than if I had ordered or went anywhere else, they gave complimentary water, sodas, and snacks to help replenish energy lost from the day. Overall, this is THE go to welding supply shop that I will return to in the future for all my welding needs.

I had gone to two other local welding shops in Long Beach before I discovered Bear Welding. The first place had some offensive political stickers on their front door, so I turned around and left.
