Architectural Fabricators

I am so happy with our automatic gate and the service provided by David at Architectural Fabricators. It turned out beautiful and that's thanks to the attention to detail by David and his team. I had quotes from 4 other gate companies and none of them wanted to do anything that wasn't a stock iron gate. The project was on time and on budget. I couldn't be happier.

In August 2020, we completed a complicated replacement backyard 3-story deck project with the expert help of Architectural Fabricators. As background, we live in a 100-year old house in Montrose. The previous owner, built out the attic into a 3rd floor efficiency apartment, and constructed a 3-story wood deck that served as outdoor entry, fire escape, and seating area. Unfortunately, after 25+ years, the wood deteriorated and the staircase became unsafe and unusable. We needed to replace the entire structure. After engineering plans were drawn and a city construction permit was secured, we started the project. The project required demolition of the existing structure, then construction of the new structure with drilled cement piers to support the four 8x8”x21’ metal columns for the 3rd story deck platform, metal I-beams for decking substructure, a 20’ metal spiral staircase, metal safety railings around all decks, and then wood decking and stair components. We were recommended Architectural Fabricators because they had capabilities for completing the metal fabrication, installation, and wood-decking components. This recommendation turned out to be blessing. I contacted them through their website in January 2020 prior to the COVID-19 lockdown, and received a quick call back from David, the sales manager. We set up an in-home meeting, and he met with us for 2 hours. He considered the project, said their company had the skills and capabilities to complete it, and that he would get back to me with a bid. David quickly returned a bid that was complete and totally acceptable. In fact, he and company owner, Jason had brainstormed and suggested some very cool alterations to the plans. Construction began in March 2020, just as the COVID pandemic began to rage. However, this did not stop the work. We all practiced excellent pandemic safety precautions with masks and distance. I want to give a shout out to all the workers. First is to crew foreman Luis and his metal workers Carlos, Ruben, Gustavo, and Julio. Next is to Alejandro and his crew who built and installed the spiral staircase. Marco, one of his guys, expertly welded the staircase in placed and then installed the railings. And last but not least is to Cesar and his crew Ramon and Ruben who installed the wood decking and metal planter box. Cesar is a master craftsman with wood. We chose IPE wood for its lasting qualities and beauty, and the guys did a great job of laying the decks. As an example of the care and pride they put into the deck, Cesar carefully custom cut rounded corners in the deck boards to fit the rounded corners of the large support columns. Everything is precise, flush, and square. The project was completed in August 2020. And it is beautiful. All city inspections of construction elements were approved and the final Certificate of Compliance was received. We could not have completed this replacement deck structure without Architectural Fabricators. Again, Jason and David were patient and accommodating during the pandemic and execution of the project. They were actively involved, cared about the project quality, practiced work site and pandemic safety measures, and didn’t ignore us. David called each week to ask how things were going and if there were any issues. He was a pleasure to work with, as were Jason and the workmen. It’s nice when an owner is engaged with the work and progress. Finally, the project could not have turned out as well as it did without the dedication and masterful efforts of the crew. They were friendly, skillful, and conscientious. They showed up when scheduled. They cleaned up after each day’s work. These are the guys everybody wants to have work on their home projects. From our perspective, the investment we made in this home project with Architectural Fabricators was well worth it. Not only is this structure a showpiece, it has been built to last. We plan to enjoy the outdoors in our Montrose backyard on these lower and upper decks with family and friends for many years to come.

We contacted Architectural Fabricators based on other positive reviews and now we highly recommend Architectural Fabricators for fencing/wrought iron/automatic gates. We have used them three times now - once for an automatic gate, once for a wrought iron gate and once for wood fence repair. Jason provides truly excellent customer service, completes projects when promised, and we feel his pricing is very fair, especially for such great service and quality. We will be using him again soon to build another wood fence. I'm very picky about who we use for home/yard projects and my husband and I both agree we've had a very positive experience and look forward to referring anyone we can to Jason and Architectural Fabricators.

I contacted Architectural Fabricators to get a quote for a driveway gate. Their customer service, professionalism and work product cannot be beat. The entire process took a little over two weeks and required almost no effort on my part. David followed up with me throughout the process and even stopped by after the installation to make sure that the gate was working perfectly. I highly recommend Architectural Fabricators.

Our bulky and old alley driveway gate and motor died just before we went out of town in July 2018. I contacted several companies to discuss plans for a replacement -- both the physical 20'-wide gate and the motor/operator to open and close it. David Lisner at Architectural Fabricators won out with his clear explanation of what they could do, in what time frame, and at what cost. In the end, I'm very glad we chose him: the new gate is more attractive, smaller, and lighter than the original one and the operator is quiet, efficient, Internet controlled, and has a battery back-up. During installation I had a couple of concerns/specific requests about integration with our existing wood fence and they gladly customized it to fit beautifully. A couple of months after installation I started to hear some squeaking when it opened and closed. Within a couple of days his guys were back tweaking the metal- and woodwork until it ran perfectly smoothly. In addition to great work, I appreciate the 3-year labor warranty that no one else could match.

Best customer service ever!!! We had lots of problems with our gate. Had several companies coming to give us estimates, and I felt they were trying to rip me, they mentioned changing the whole motor, batteries, resetting the pole, even one lady from another company -Houston Fence Company- even said: "Well, we don't warranty it will work, we will do our best to fix it, but you have to understand we can't assure you it will". Seriously??? And you consider yourselves professionals? Finally I found "Architectural Fabricators" on my online research, and decided to give them a call. I called them, they gave me a reasonable estimate. The issues they described sounded like what I thought it was wrong with the gate... no need to change the motor and charge thousands of bucks, but to work with what we had and make it function again. Well, they fixed it, they did it right!!!!! They charged a reasonable amount and did a great job. Even painted in black the new metal parts they installed! Today I had an issue with the gate: it was about to hit my 3-year-old son, so I grabbed it and made it stop. After this, the gate didn't work. I opened the box and tried to see if there was any light blinking so I could go tho the "troubleshoot" chapter in my manual. No luck. Light blinking but nothing in the manual to get it fixed. I texted the owner, and asked him if I could make it work pressing a button or doing something simple or if he had to send somebody to get it fixed the next day -hubby out of town and didn't want to spend the night with the gate open, it just didn't feel safe-. Well, he told me what to do, and I got it fixed thanks to him!! I just had to write this review right away, because I have NEVER experienced such an amazing customer service!! It was something very simple, but he could have said: "No, don't touch anything and I will send somebody tomorrow and bill you later!". He told me what to do, and in 1 minute it was working again!!! VERY HONEST PEOPLE!!!!! I will recommend this company to all my friends!!! Will tell them to save their info in their contacts so when they need somebody, call Architectural Fabricators right away with the confidence that they will do what needs to be done to make it work without making up problems just to charge more. They will be honest and solve the problem. I'm sure they will do a fine job installing a new gate if that is what you are looking for!! Happy happy customer!

I needed a metal fence, and a security "cage" area for my "Urban Loft" and these guys did an amazing job. I'm so impressed with the details that go into their work. I couldn't have asked for better quality and service. You can't go wrong with Architectural Fabricators. A great testimony to how well they make their fences, my neighbor walked by and saw their work in progress and got a bid, then a day later ordered a fence for herself.

Buyer beware...asked for a "bid" came back exceedingly high...thousands higher than other comps. When presented with comps, he came down a few thousand...makes you wonder why... Built a nice fence, but cut our landscape lighting in the process and claimed "in our contract, not responsible". Never even said he was sorry.

They came out exactly as scheduled and handled the repair and warranty perfectly. Thanks, Ed.
