Couldn't be happier.! Called several companies for custom gate estimates and most were booking out months in advance, never returned my calls, or had unreasonable pricing. Heather was able to come out the same week I called and provide a detailed estimate. Rec'd the estimate 8/13, final install was mid-October. ABQ Metal Works encouraged us to be very involved in the design process and we ended up with a high quality gate better than we imagined. Paid half up front, and half after install. Overall price ended up being about $200-$500 less than what other companies had quoted us. We will be doing

Great experience from start to finish. Heather was wonderful in terms of communicating to us along the way and keeping us in the loop, and everything was finished sooner than expected which was great. Purchased 4 different gates for our yard and we love them! Highly recommend this company.

We are so pleased with the job that ABQ Metal works did for us. We needed new gates and wall toppers but had a design in mind that no other company could do for us. Not only was ABQ Metal Works able to pull off the design but they were so prompt and professional throughout the whole process. They kept us up to date on status and even followed up after installation to make sure everything was still working well. It has been so nice to have not only functioning gates, especially with all of the spring wind we have been having, but to have beautiful functioning gates at that. The wall toppers are

With nearly a dozen recommendations to use ABQ metal works, I took a gamble and chose them for my Gate project. From start to finish it was a great experience. Great communication on where they were at in the process is very helpful. The gates are beautiful! On my gates, you can’t even see the welds. Heather and her team are efficient, friendly and very talented! Glad I chose them for my project and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great project at a great price!

Heather at ABQ made our project easy. The fabrication was completed in a reasonable time and at a reasonable cost. The installation crew was on time and the work was completed in a timely manner with great attention to detail. If I have any future metal work to be done, I will be calling ABQ. Do yourself a favor. If you need a gate or any metal work done, contact Heather at ABQ.

Great experience from start to finish and so very happy with the product (2 new gates, 1 wall topper replaced and 1 new wall topper added). We tried several other companies but no one else could give us the design we wanted. The price was on point even with our design request that no other company seemed to be able to handle. We could not be more happy. We will be referring everyone we know to ABQ Metal Works and will be using them going forward for all of our needs!

ABQ Metalworks were asked to solve a gardening problem one side of our property. Our pathway isn't level and so we needed a custom design and build for two raised beds - three weeks later and after approval, they just installed exactly what we needed, wanted in readiness for an abundance of veggies, green chiles and tomatoes etc. 100% recommend this company (they were recommended to us by Milligan Landscapes & Lawn Care)

I worked with Kris on a custom design. Their shop's capabilities are second to none and they walked me through the design process to cut exactly the piece I needed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them the next time I commission another metal piece.

I love my gate. The team was very professional, excellent at their craft, wonderfully built product and timely delivery and installation. The yard feels so much more secure now. Kris came out and measured, and we went over what my husband and I wanted, and then *poof* we have a fabulous, strong, secure, beautiful gate. They even finished it to match the rest of our wrought iron. Awesome local company with fantastic customer service.

I got an amazing gate for my side yard, and I love it! I highly recommend these guys! They were so sweet and professional, fun to work with, and they delivered an amazing product! They custom built our gate from a picture I found on the internet! Very talented and very amazing! If you need a gate of any kind, I recommend going with them! They are amazing!

W2 Welding was incredibly receptive to making sure I got what I wanted for my home project. Their willingness to learn my style and fabricate each of my requests was unmatched. Cameron’s attention to detail really shined through with the modern minimalist gates and handrails I went for on my project. It is very difficult to fabricate something so minimal because even the smallest mistakes are amplified in the final product. That being said, my gates and handrail were metal perfection. As for the professionalism from the operations side of W2, my hat goes off to Heather. Any question I had on

Repaired a bar stool- nice guy, efficient, reasonable charge, quality work. Note that Google maps shows them in the wrong place- they are on the East side of I-25
