Roscoe Sheet Metal Works

One of the most tedious and painful experiences of my life. I had a small project to cut and bend a side moulding piece of a trailer he said he would have it done the next day (I had work consistently for almost two weeks and would have had a hard time getting it if it was not completed the next day I stressed) I called the next day and to my amazement nothing had been done apparently no one came in till late that day so I somewhat sympathized. A day later I called and asked when it will be done Cesar said he will have it done that day and he would be there Saturday and some of Sunday which was perfect for my schedule so I happily called Friday afternoon to make sure it would be ready for Saturday and some I’m assuming Armenian guy answers and not only doesn’t give me any info on my project and refused to hand the phone to anyone else but consistently told me «bro bro call back Monday» I was furious with this it was such an easy thing to just get done so this goes on for almost two weeks each time I call I have to remind them what job it was and what needed to be done like how hard it is to remember finally I had a chance to go by there and just pick it up and tell them how shitty of service this was I go there and who I assume is the owner (I dealt with him when I first brought the piece in) is on the couch and looking to me nothing less than completely blown high and I ask about it he points to my piece of metal asking if that was it. It was the piece and had dust on it like it had not been touched the whole two weeks I asked for it back and he looks at one of his workers and says «hey just go cut and bend that really fast» then looks at me and tells me this will just take 5 minutes. I was ready to blow up, are you fucking kidding me this could not have been done in two fucking weeks so they cut and bend it and I walk out if there completely shocked and in awe how someone can have such horrible customer service and memory (the memory thing does not surprise me with how much weed this guy has to smoke on the job) and to just seem like everything is fine and not one apology for the inconvenience. Worst place I’ve ever dealt with I don’t know how they are still in business

What a great group of guys! Steve built for me an old-​fashioned metal foundation vent for my old house— after two other shops flat out refused to touch it. The other shops apparently felt it wasn’t worth their time. But Steve got right to work on it and the new vent is gorgeous, and it fits like a glove. And his price was amazingly reasonable. Steve– thank you for stepping up when the other shops let me down.

I had a very small job to do — two cuts and a bend. One of the bigger shops downtown said they MIGHT be able to do it for their minimum $ 75.
Steve at Roscoe Sheet Metal did the job for literally a couple bucks and asked that I remember him for bigger projects. I will certainly check in with him first for my next metal fabrication needs. Now that I’ve found a good fabricator, I’ll have to figure out where I can use more metal…

This is one rough and ready dude – as he said as I went out the door, «You can look me up on the internet – I’m not there!» Right down the street from Industrial Metal Works, it’s a 2 man shop or so, not counting the amiable pit bull on the couch. He cranked out 90 degree noses on 25 diamond plate stair treads in about 15 minutes from the time I walked in the shop, and the price was improbably low. Check out the metal braking machine – the largest I’ve ever seen. Most shops have trouble handling 48″ – this monster must do up to 10 feet, and looks capable of squishing 1″ steel plate. Another Steve quote, when I told him another shop had recommended him: «Yeah, when they don’t want to do something – or can’t – they send you to me!» Highly recommended. Wear work clothes – the pit bull sheds white…

Steve is hands down one of the best sheet metal workers I know you can trust your work to him we just finish fabricating some mirrors that are to be displayed @ UCLA Broad Art Center he can bend metal to make grilles to BBQ on :)
