Questions

Metal fabrication FAQ

Can I start with a sketch?

Send a sketch with height, width and length. Explain what the piece supports and ask whether a detailed drawing is needed.

What should the quote include?

Ask for material, fabrication, finishing, delivery and installation as separate lines. Say whether you want bare metal or a finished piece.

What if the job is outside Kitchener?

Give the town and address, whether in Waterloo, Elmira, St. Jacobs, Breslau, New Hamburg or Baden. Ask about delivery and site measurements.

Good to know

  • Ask who handles finishing and whether you approve the drawing before work starts.
  • No Kitchener shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
