Nick is just the absolute best! We have an antique iron and brass bed bed that was broken during our move from California home to Portland. We got lucky and found Nick, who is delightful to deal with entirely dependable, enterprising and creative in his solutions, reasonably priced, and took care of our job within a week.What a pleasant experience to cross his path! I can't recommend him more highly! read more

Nick was a pleasure to work with. He responded promptly, was straightforward and honest, and readily made us a 4 x 4 stainless steel tray with a thoughtfully designed grid underneath to prevent the tray from warping over our hot, outdoor fires. Nick is someone you can trust. He has every right to be proud of his work. read more

Nick recently helped me with a very small welding job on a broken bike rack. I very much appreciated the quality of work that he provided. It was a very small job and I appreciated the fact that he took it on. Thanks Nick-! read more

Nick is fantastic at what he does - welding. I had a very very specific, precise, accurate, symmetrical, project that I needed him to do. While searching for a welder to do this project it was looked at as a burden... imagine that? Work and making money being burdensome. Not with Nick... when I stopped using Facebook as my search engine I came across NRK and when I reached out I was greeted with excitement and an eagerness to work on this project. I immediately made it clear of my expectations for exact measurements and symmetry. To which Nick replied that aluminum welding is difficult and he can get everything within 1/8 of an inch. I appreciated the honesty - I explained that I thought this would be best as a collaborative process and he agreed. We met before the project began and started letting the ideas and questions flow. During the entire project he would touch base, ask the necessary questions, double check that what he was doing was the right thing... and would repeatedly have me stop by to talk about the process and help overcome hurdles in regards to putting a TV into a mobile DJ booth. When we got to the very last stage of this build I realized that a part of the tv was not accounted for and it was totally screwing up the way we had it already fabricated. Nick was smart... he didn't fully weld the position of the bottom support for the TV. I went over one last time with the TV and came up with the most cost effective way to fix the oversight. This was something both him and I missed.... I took the responsibility for the oversight, it's the right thing to do, but he also accepted some of it and worked with me on the pricing for the hiccup. Overall this project came out exactly how he told me it would. Within 1/8" everywhere I provided exact measurements. Couldn't be happier with this.... it's a first for him... and who knows because I have a lot of friends in the business. This experience may be just what we both needed for a new product line! lol... I don't know that Nick would agree. The morale of this long review is that 1) Nick is the man 2) You will not regret the end result he produces 3) His desire to do things right and give you exactly what you want and need is a characteristic most tradesmen do not have. He didn't look at his larger jobs as a priority.... we were all priority.... and he got this done while working on other things. That's huge. Thank you Nick. You are the first recommendation for anyone that needs something welded. Seriously. Thank you! read more
