Whitney and the team did a fantastic job refurbishing an old heaven hill whiskey barrel that I had…read morein my living room. I was using it as an extension of my bar. I really liked it, but it was in a sad shape. There was a gooey residue on the barrel that would sometimes leave imprints on peoples clothes if they brushed up against it. And the barrel hoops kept falling down. Chicago fabrications brought the barrel back to life. They did an excellent job sanding and staining the barrel and cleaning up the metal hoops and fastening them so they would no longer slip down the barrel. And all that residue is gone. It looks like a million bucks and I would definitely recommend them for any projects you may be thinking of

This is an important choice for our cities, and our citizens. In our house, we are thrilled to support Tyler & Team. Although our first project was small, a trio of gorgeous live-edge walnut shelves for a tricky hallway laundry lack-of-storage issue, Whitney made sure that we left feeling like the most important clients to walk through the doors. Not only did her experience and ideas make the project much better, but it was done in less than half the time estimated, with some amazing trivets provided from the scraps as a gift. No doubt that they will be our go-to team for all future projects!

I highly recommend Barker Metalcraft if you need radiator covers. Brian was great. I had no…read moreissues at all with communication and setting up the appointments to measure and deliver my covers. Brian was prompt for both appointments. I'm very happy with my covers!

In all fairness - I didn't use Barker for a job and they may be the best in making radiator covers;…read morehowever, i wanted to give them another chance after my last review about their lack of porfessionalism on the phone. This time I got a voice mail. That in itself is common when companies are busy, but when you get a voice mail for a business it is expected that you reached the correct number - their voice mail just says "Hello please leave a message after the tone." So I called back in case I got a personal phone number in error. It was the same VM, so it looks like this business doesn't want to go through the bother of figuring out how to recortd a welcoming, or even professional, appropriate message. Barker isn't alone in this; over the years, companies make very little effort to be welcoming and professional. It's probably a matter of supply and demand.

We will definitely use them again! And we'd recommend them to anyone for metalwork.
