I called about 7 other places first, and struck out with every other one except one place, but I needed it done now and they were busy. The owner, Joel, said he was able to help me so I drove to his shop to save time. He worked on my project right away and had enough experience to ask the right questions before doing the work I was asking for. The job came out great and I am very happy to have met Joel. I'm keeping his business card for future projects.

I bought an older sailboat that needed some upgrading. The bow pulpit's design led to jib sheets…read moregetting caught in it when gybing, and at some point it must have impacted something, being slightly bent downward and off center. I went to the marine welder I'd used for years over three different boats and was told they were too busy doing bigger commercial jobs to see me any sooner than two months out. I decided to shop around and was pleasantly surprised to find Benchmark Welding very nearby, and willing to take on my project immediately. The reviews were good, so I removed the pulpit, delivering it to the Benchmark shop the next day. Right away, the estimate for the work came in at HALF of what my long-time welder quoted. One look at his shop told me I was dealing with a meticulous professional. The next day I was called to advise that the pulpit could be straightened to a point, but the way it was bent might not allow correcting to perfect symmetry. I agreed that his eyeballing the curvature of added stainless tubing to the best look possible was acceptable. In another day he had me take the pupit back to the boat to check fit and photograph it. We decided to raise the front higher, and even with an added change to nav light placement, it was ready the next day. The look was better than I expected (I got positive comments from the dock minutes after remounting it on the boat), the welding and polishing were top notch, and the attention to the intricate points of metal fabrication in a marine environment were well addressed. This is a very professional shop offering expert work at a reasonable price. I wiil be taking all future boat welding projects there and heartily recommend Benchmark.

First off have been coming here for about 6 years with decent customer service…read more Came in to purchase 6 gauge standard expanded steel a few days ago. Was told over the phone that they were sold in 4x4 sheets. Got to the store and they said they could only sell it in full sheets of 4x8 (not a big deal). Ended up paying to have the 4x8 sheet cut. Got it home and realized the ends were even and the center was off by 1.75" (not even close to being straight), it was dome shaped. So 4" were wasted and I had to make two additional cuts to get it straight. Then brought it to my fabricator and it turns out it isn't even what I had ordered. It's flattened, not standard like what I ordered and confirmed (didn't know there was a difference). Came back to get the correct stuff and they said there was nothing they could do about my previous order because they had cut it. $180 down the drain for a piece that was not what I ordered and not cut straight. Not even a partial refund or anything on the next correct sheet. Had a good relationship with a few of the employees but this is the last time I do business here. UPDATE: Spoke with Shelby who provided great customer service unlike the female I had previously dealt with. Ultimately, a refund was issued and the mistake was corrected. Very disappointed that it took a bad review for them to finally correct their mistake, but am happy with the outcome.

Their work is clean, solid, and exactly what you expect from top-quality custom metal fabrication. While other companies may offer similar services, I can't confirm that. What I can say with confidence is that you won't find two nicer people to work with than the Delgado brothers, Franco and Neil. Working with them feels like the attentive service you'd get at a high-end department store--without any sales pressure or attitude. If you're not choosing Southern Cali Custom Metal Fabrication, you're missing out. I assume one can have metal work done in countless places, but if you're not working with these guys, you won't be working with the best value, quality, and attention to detail in town! Robert A.
