As your top source for metal fabrication, laser cutting and other custom sheet metal design services, we at Cypress Metals proudly invite prospective customers to compare us to our competition. Any good manufacturer or other business manager will properly research all their options before hiring a metal fabricator, and we want you to get the best services possible – services we’re confident our professional staff and long track record of happy customers will showcase as you perform this research.

If you’ve never gone about this process before, you may be unsure of which qualities to prioritize in your metal fabricator. Let’s go over some of the prominent features we think are most important within this world, plus why they matter and what you should ask about them as you look around for the best choice.

Specific Experience

It’s important to note that specific experience producing a given part or project isn’t absolutely necessary, but it can often be a major assist. There’s a shorter learning curve, and the job will often have several easy templates that will be simpler for your fabricator to look through.

In the end, this area tends to come down to the details. The wrong material recommendation could torpedo an otherwise optimal project, or the wrong choice of stress tolerance could do the same even if every other detail is aligned perfectly. This is why it’s important to hire a staff with highly experienced engineers who can catch these details well before they become an issue.

Versatility in Skills and Tools

At Cypress Metals, we have everything you need for custom metal fabrication under one roof. Not only do we have a large and robust workspace and all the proper tools, we only hire staff who are well-trained and knowledgeable in each of these areas.

This isn’t just a convenience area – it’s a cost area, as well. Incomplete metal fabrication warehouses might require other companies to outsource parts of their work, which not only takes longer to get your job done but often costs more as well. And on top of that, there’s never a guarantee as to the quality control of this third-party source. By hiring professionals like ours, though, you get this entire process done in one step, with in-house quality inspection that holds all projects to our high standards and nothing less.

Communication Considerations

Finally, you need a metal fabricator that emphasizes communication. Too many failed fabrication projects become that way due to a poor relationship between the manufacturer and the vendor, one where each side considers the other responsible for the relationship but not vice versa. Instead, we invest in every job we do, taking the time to learn about your business and your target demographics so when we complete your job, we prioritize the same things you do. In essence, hiring our pros will really just bring you an extended arm of your own organization – just with the additional skills you need for metal fabrication.
