"Artisan Metal Works does exquisite work! Tim and his crew fabricated a custom railing for the front of my house, which really improves the look of the house. His lead welder Nick was extremely dedicated to making certain that they constructed a quality product that I was happy with. Took their time and no shortcuts. I could sense the pride they have in their work. It really shows!"

"Outstanding...These guys are the best. They helped me design, then construct Northern AZ's first Tableside Guacamole cart for my restaurant Salsa Brava. Attention to detail..(they just kept coming up with better and better ideas and wouldn't settle for anything but perfection) Thanks Tim and Nic and crew...you killed it."

"I commissioned Artisan Metalworks to fabricate a custom truck-rack, based on local recommendations. These guys are top-notch. Nick is incredibly thoughtful and deliberate with his design-work, bringing tons of experience into the concepts, and finishing it off with great craftsmanship and clean detail. They are super approachable and easy to talk to, and stand behind their product. I have been more than pleased with Artisan Metalworks, and would highly recommend them to anyone!"

"It's so hard to find a good, reliable vendor in Flagstaff. It was such a God send to find Artisan Metal Works! They are one of the most responsive, communicative, and professional businesses in Flagstaff. The owner, Tim, provides accurate quotes and thorough, quality work. I constantly call their business for assistance on the property that I work at, and they always find time to squeeze us in either same day, or next day. I truly appreciate them and all that they do."

Mike McDonald

"Needed a bit of fabrication and welding on my trailer I had put off for a year... figured I could leave it for a week, but Nick had it all done by beer thirty the next day! Innovative, clean fabrication and very nice welds are these guys' strengths! I was very satisfied, all around!"

Joe Bodin

"One of the metal legs on our favorite coffee table broke. We brought all of the legs over to Artisan's and they fixed the broken one and reinforced the rest for us. Was easy! Drove up, honked, handed the legs to a friendly guy who came out to greet us... Two days later, they called and we picked 'em up in the same way we dropped them off. Inexpensive, good work, so easy (didn't even get out of the car), and everyone was super friendly. We recommend!"

"Artisan Metal Works design and fabrication is outright superb! Parts cut and shaped to perfection, superbly clean and solid welds....safe and sturdy boat frames, tight-fitting side boxes, custom made gear for scientists and filmmakers that looks sharp and performs beyond expectations....structurally sound, safe, functional and aesthetically appealing rails, racks and custom supports, and really cool art projects...Tim and Nic will not let any product out of the shop that is not absolutely top notch. Quality craftsmanship aside, the proprietors are sharp, clever, friendly, generous, eager to please the client, and genuinely love what they do. AMW gets my strongest possible recommendation for metal fabrication projects, and big props as solid citizens of Flagstaff, and the Mother Earth...Geoff "Carp" Carpenter, HERPTECH MetalWorks, Bosque Farms, NM."
