American Welding and Fabrication

Wonderful work, very professional, on time and punctual! A+ Thank you Richard

I wanted to match the design on an existing 1950s cast-​iron gate. Richard worked with me to develop a design the complimented it which we used on an entry-​way column support, two gates, and a stair rail. I recommend them highly.

Reliable, quality, personable and so FAST! Had such a great experience I am definitely going to come back. Richard and his crew take great pride in their costume creations and it shows. Email response was wonderful and prompt. Looking forward to the next project with American Welding and Fabrication.

I drive ready mix trucks, and was looking to get a custom chute scraper made. All I took was some pictures of what I wanted as a reference, and they built me my custom piece just by looking at pictures!!! I thought It was going to take a couple of days to make, but they made it for me right then and there on the spot!!! They stopped what they were doing just to help me design my scraper the way I wanted it!!! I could not be anymore happy with my piece! They have great service here and they are great at what they do! I highly recommend coming here. If I ever need anything else made for me I don’t have to look around I know exactly where I will go!!! Thanks guys!!!

I was looking for someone to fabricate legs for an outside bench. Richard listened to what we wanted and discussed the best design for them. He was reasonably priced and did exactly what he said he would do. Excellent customer service and quality workmanship and installation.

I was in need of some hairpin legs for a coffee table. Richard was able to custom build me some legs. Very reasonably priced. Great product and good customer service.

I had them custom build me a subframe for a motorcycle. Not only did they make it to my exact specs, the quality of the work was exceptional. I would recommend them to anyone who needs quality work done.

Richard came out to my house designed a custom gate and gave me a reasonable estimate. Three days later he completed the install and it came out great. Professional service and quality installation.

There’s a reason why American Welding & Fabrication has all 5 star reviews: It’s because they do a really good job at a reasonable price. Rich and his apprentice showed up within a couple of hours of hearing that my large front gate had rusted off its hinges. He quickly sized up the problem and provided an excellent solution. He and his helper were courteous, professional and were a pleasure to deal with. He is what you want when on-​site welding is what you need. Call him. You won’t be disappointed.

I hated the curb of my driveway, especially since my little corvette always scraped the bottom no matter how carefully I maneuvered out of the driveway. I contacted a couple of different companies for a metal ramp for my driveway (some of my neighbors already had ramps). Richard Hetherington from American Welding picked up immediately when I called. He came out the very next day to look at my driveway curb, and gave me a reasonable estimate. I decided to go with American Welding since I liked the owner and his candor from the start. I gave Richard a 50% deposit on late Friday afternoon; he made templates of my driveway immediately and even double-​checked the template again on Monday. By Wednesday afternoon, my new ramp was installed. It was clean and fit the contour of my driveway (being at the end of a cul de sac), and was quiet (no thumping or banging). Very pleased with his workmanship! I highly recommend Richard. He is honest, trustworthy, and will do the job right the first time!

Richard is amazing! After weeks of searching for a place I came across this one. He was able to restore my mailbox good as new. Very pleasant and will definately be recommending him to others and will be my first choice when I need any future welding assistance :-D

Needed to get some aluminum welded and found this shop on Unilocal.Already had great reviews. Decided to give it a shot. Richard was very helpful and gave me an estimate right in the spot. I liked the price, he would have it done in 30 min. He sure did and it’s exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend him. He has all the equipment for all your welding needs. I will be going back to him for other projects I have in the works.

The latch on my wrought iron gate broke. I brought it in to the shop, a fair price was given, and I was home shortly with an excellent repair. Quality work, quality people, great pricing. What’s not to like?

Rich has Amazing welding skills. Truly a welding craftsman. He fixed my rod iron fence and I am amazed at how great it turned out. Great work fantastic price!!!

My husband and I needed some work done on our utility trailer. We were in a time crunch because we had to hit the road in 2 days for a big move, but our trailer needed some reinforcing.
Luckily, we found Richard! The owner of American Welding & Fab. We called him in the morning on a Friday hoping to get him out that day. We explained our situation and told him that we needed it done ASAP! He totally understood what we had going on and said he would clear his afternoon and make it out our way to get the job done.
He made it out that afternoon right before rush hour! Mind you, it’s Friday in LA all freeways are screwed! Anyhow, he got to our house and did all the work my husband asked of him, perfectly! He even did a couple of extras to make sure we would be safe on our 1200 mile journey!
I can’t praise him enough for his efficiency, expertise, and prompt service! His prices are more than reasonable and his work is flawless! We made it to our destination safe and sound and have him to thank for that! My husband and I HIGHLY recommend American Welding & Fabrication!
