I had a wonderful experience with Create Cut Invent at 5403 Patton Dr, Suite 220. Steve did an…read moreoutstanding job engraving a retirement gift for a colleague of mine, and the entire experience could not have been more pleasant. The craftsmanship, professionalism, prompt service, and attention to detail were exceptional. What started as "just buying a gift" turned into creating something truly meaningful and personal -- something my friend and his family will remember and appreciate for years. At one point, people suggested I simply buy a gift card and let my colleague choose something himself. I'm so glad I didn't. A personalized gift carries emotions, friendship, memories, and thoughtfulness behind it, and Create Cut Invent helped make that possible. From now on, this will be my go-to place for meaningful and personalized gifts. Highly recommended.

I cannot say enough good things about Create Cut Invent's service. I had a smaller sized request…read morefor custom steel plates; other services did not even bother to respond to the request, but Steven replied quickly. Once the details were finalized, it was turned around in just a few hours and it was exactly what I needed! Steven was extremely generous with his time and advice. His incredibly friendly personality paired with enthusiasm for the craft is rare to find these days. Beyond the excellent work, the owner is a Chicago legend. Honored to have Steven's services so close by in the Western Suburbs. I will definitely be using them again for any fabrication!

They were non-traditional parts for a trophy and they were eager to help me get the perfect trophy. I dropped it off a little over a week ago and can't wait to see what they come back with. The girl behind the counter was super nice and overly helpful. She showed me options to keep cost down and helped with a few ideas of her own that were good. I am very excited and hope to amend this review and give the another star. **update** I never finished this review. I wanted a trophy that would spurn jealousy in all who gazed upon it and they delivered. I have a majestic 3+ foot tall trophy with a unicorn on top. I don't think anything could have been done to make it better. Hats off to them and I apologize for the multi year delay in giving them the full 5 stars.

I purchased this charm from State Street Jewelers and they also highly recommend Patty for jobs they need assistance with and have been working together for years.

Patty is extremely unprofessional and rude. We have worked with her over the past year and the…read morequality is not up to par nor consistent. We would often be missing items, receive double of an item we did not ask for, and plates would come scratched and damaged. Screw holes were never in the same place, font would be off center, and the pricing is way too high compared to other places nearby. She never keeps a log of when items are paid for, only when the order was placed, so it made our bookkeeping a nightmarish experience I will be happy to be done with. Do yourself a favor and go to Doc Morgan for your engraving needs. They are cheaper with better and consistent quality.
