If I find myself with need for welding or metal fab, I'll be coming back to Jacob and team. They took a small job and didn't charge an arm and a leg for it.

They "accidentally charged our account 8k" Big NO NO. They said they would take 2-3 weeks to complete our project. 6 weeks later we were still at square 1. Had to help him with some leg work and then decided to not finish our project. Very disappointed in LUX Metals Would not recommend or ever use again for any project.

Dave and Crew @ Lux Metals are awesome! They are always providing top notch Service and Materials. I have never had a problem with ordering materials, and getting them to meet deadlines of my customers. I even had him custom build a gate (12'-0) on the side of my house about 8 years ago and I am still getting complements on it. I would highly recommend them

From Dave the owner to Zach and Jake in the shop, along with Pat in the office and the rest of the crew. I am very satisfied with the custom brackets that were produced with extremely high quality and craftsmanship. I needed 2 brackets for my swim deck on my ski boat. Even though this was a small job, everyone at Lux metals Inc. treated my wife and I as if we were ordering 50 brackets. This is my shop for any future work.
