What the Treasure Valley says
"Ed is terrific! Melody and I were doing a remodel and had to redo a patio slab, which changed the footprint of our old wrought iron fence. Ed was able to repair and renew the old fence to like new with the new shape! I would highly recommend him for any metal project!"
"Ed came up and did a farm trip for me. I needed new forks fabricated for my tractor and Ed was the guy! Very professional, precise and he did a fantastic job. I was up and out on the tractor loading the same day."
