Getting ready for my first big steel project putting in about 180 feet of metal fence at one of our…read morerental properties, I stopped in a few places around town. The first made me feel I was imposing on them with my amateur questions and I very much got the "move along" vibe. A little bummed I moved on and stopped in at Santa Rita Steel - whole different ball of wax. They have a friendly and helpful staff and a relaxed atmosphere. They actually took me out to the yard and showed me different material options and even some sample fence sections in the back - helping me change my plan a bit and get the correct amount of material ordered up. The first fence project was a hit with both the neighbors and our tenants and I'm now on my 3rd fence - death to rotting wooden fences! I'll always use Santa Rita Steel for my material.

I can not say enough about Santa Rita Steel Company. They literally saved the day! I needed a…read morespecial deadplate made for my outside electrical fuse box. To my surprise, no one sold these GE plates in the whole state of AZ. In fact, I was told by several people including electricians that I would need to spend thousands of dollars to upgrade my box because it was from the early 80's. I am in no position to spend that kind of money. My inspector simply require I have a deadplate covering my breakers. So I got busy calling around to several metal and steel business to request a plate be made. Due to COVID 19 many places didn't have the bandwidth to get this done in a 24/48hr turnaround time or they didn't/won't due this type of work. I was desperate because my deadline was fast approaching. To my surprise, I was guided to contact Santa Rita Steel. I spoke with Poncho and well, the rest is history. Not only were they able to get my plate drafted and made within 48hours, they did with a superb price point. I will definitely recommend calling them to handle your needs, big or small. I have confidence that they can get it done! Thanks again to the SRS team! YOU ALL ROCK!!!!!
