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.

I needed to find a duplicate latch for several galley windows on our 30 year-old boat. The old latch had failed. I contacted an engineer in China prior to contacting many, many businesses here in the United States to try to find a latch replacement, but didn't have any luck. Chris is a true craftsman. He was able to take apart the latch, remove the spring, and adapt the plastic latch so that it could be made into an aluminum one. The result was very, very impressive. The original fabrication didn't quite fit and Chris went out of his way to make the necessary adjustments so that the latch fit perfectly. I cannot recommend him highly enough for a project that most would not want to undertake. In my opinion, it was worth every penny that I paid. Thank you again!

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.
