Allied Iron

I have used Allied Iron with great satisfaction for personal and commercial projects. Whether I needed a full sheet of sheet metal, a ton of c-​channel, or some drops of random plate, angle, round-​stock, etc., the staff has taken care of me with no issues. Whereas many larger operations do not work with the public or do not allow the public to pick through their selection, Allied welcomes all types of business. The sales staff has always responded to my estimate requests with full material and cutting charges in a timely fashion either in-​person or via phone.
Their selection is very respectable. They have most common steel and aluminum stock, tubing, channel, steel and aluminum sheet, and a nice selection of seamless steel tubing and chrome moly. Their cutting fees are also very reasonable.
I recommend using them if you have small or large projects alike and if you want to be served by a knowledgeable sales staff who respectfully and efficiently serve you.

Price is not horrible, but not the best.
Getting answers, however is a big pain.
I had a job that required a number of pieces cut out of steel plate.
How much it would cost, was not something they could answer.
Went to another place, got a price, got it done!

I haven’t gotten anything from here for a while, but i have bought many times from here in the past. Emilio and Douglas have always taken care of me. I’m a DIY customer for the most part, but have purchased some for actual jobs. Their selection of steel is very good. They have ordered quite a bit of stainless for me as well.

So far, the best pricing I’ve seen for new steel angles, plates, tubes, etc. Not a scrap yard. They are friendly to small DIYers, but don’t allow metal picking from their dumpster anymore :-(
