A poorly welded security gate sagged and completely broke off its hinges at my property last spring. I initially hired a general handyman for the installation, but his general knowledge just wasn’t enough for heavy ironwork.

He openly admitted his limitations and strongly recommended hiring a specialized shop instead. After all, a weak structural joint can quickly become a massive safety hazard when heavy materials fail.

That candid advice prompted a serious hunt for true steel artisans. I reviewed portfolios and gathered feedback from local builders to find the best metal fabricators in Phoenix. 

Below is a guide to trusted experts.

Service Type	Estimated Cost
Hourly Labor Rate	$50.00 – $130.00
General Sheet Metal (Hourly)	$65.00 – $100.00
Custom Fabrication (Per Sq. Ft.)	$30.00 – $35.00
Custom Yard/Side Gate	$1,500 – $5,000+
Full Driveway/RV Gate	$4,000 – $12,000+

1. Jose’s Sheet Metal LLC

Website: http://josesheetmetal.com/

Address: 3120 W. Grand Ave, AZ 85017

Contact: (623) 215-7566

Hours: Monday-Friday: 7:00 AM-4:00 PM; Saturday-Sunday: Closed

Jose’s Sheet Metal LLC is a family-owned metal fabrication shop that started in 2004. They’ve built a strong reputation through referrals and steady workmanship.

They excel at custom ductwork components, from sturdy equipment stands to heavy-duty roof curbs. Their made-to-order approach means every piece fits your exact dimensions.

I like that their extensive catalog covers standard air handling parts too. That keeps your project moving when you don’t need a custom piece.

Local contractors keep coming back year after year. Reviewers also praise their professional team and punctual service.

The downside is their focus on ductwork. If you need other specialized metal fabrication, check with them first.

Excellent craftsmanship

Jose’s Sheet Metal is top-notch! Their team is professional, punctual, and their craftsmanship is excellent. They go above and beyond to make sure the job is done right, and the quality of their work really shows. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and skilled sheet metal work in Arizona.

The best metal fabrication shop in the valley

This is by far the best metal fabrication shop in the valley. They take pride in their work and always take care of customers. They also carry a huge selection of stuff more than just sheet metal. Great supplies and of course awesome tools as well. Do yourself a favor and stop in to one of their locations and see for yourself.

2. AZ Sheet Metal LLC

Website: https://www.azsheetmetalllc.com/

Address: 1302 W Hatcher Rd, AZ 85021

Contact: (602) 612-3067

Hours: Monday-Friday: 7:00 AM-4:00 PM; Saturday: 7:00 AM-12:00 PM; Sunday: Closed

AZ Sheet Metal LLC brings over 25 years of hands-on experience to every project. I like that they handle everything, from cutting and forming to assembly.

They manage both one-off prototypes and large-scale production runs. Their work uses 26- to 18-gauge materials.

Their inventory covers a wide range of products too, including air handler transitions and custom roof jacks. If you need something that isn’t in stock, they’ll even make it to your specifications.

Their experience with specialized welding is another useful option for contractors who need more than standard sheet metal work. 

Fast turnaround is another reason contractors like them.

The downside is the Saturday schedule. The shop closes at noon, so plan weekend pickups ahead.

Highly quality work

I highly recommend this shop to anyone planning to do any residential ductwork.

Steve and the others helped me tremendously when I was planning to replace the entire ductwork in my home. They helped educate me on ductwork installation tips, what I needed/didn’t need, and ensuring I measured properly.

They are fairly priced, and have all the materials you would need for any sized project. If not, they can make it.

All the materials I received were high quality.

Amazing

I have to say , this guys at AZSM are amazing . I wish I’d known of this spot before I shop at FERG. I paid too much for a piece that was prefabricated , that honestly wasn’t gonna work at FERG, when this guys custom made what I needed for half the price. Highly recommen them , give them a challenge fabrication and they make it.

3. Metal Products Co. Inc

Address: 1845 E Madison St, AZ 85034

Contact: (602) 256-9444

Hours: Monday-Thursday: 5:30 AM-2:30 PM; Friday: 5:30 AM-2:00 PM

Metal Products Co. Inc has operated in downtown Phoenix since 1952. They focus on high-quality roofing accessories and has decades of experience behind its work.

They make durable drip edges and structural Z-bars that keep water running off properly. Their custom work for the roofing sector also includes shrouds and spark arrestors.

I also like their transparent pricing and personal attention. It makes it easier to understand what you’re paying for without guessing about the details.

Other customers I spoke with say the team is easy to work with.

If you plan to hire the best contractors for gutter installation, getting premium materials here is a smart first step. The downside is the location. Their facility sits in a busy pocket near the Maricopa Freeway, so driving there can be frustrating.

Very easy to work with

Just finished up a large custom commercial coping job. They helped problem solve to make difficult pieces and got them made and delivered in a timely manner. Very easy to work with! Definitely will continue to get my metal from here!

If you need metal work done, please check these guys out

We had a custom order, where the client was very specific about the colors they wanted. Our first go round, some material didn’t match their expectations. Metal Products Co went far more than the extra mile to fix a mistake that wasn’t even their fault. They took on the problem and developed a solution, so we could get the job done and keep our client happy. I appreciate that very much. If you need metal work done, please check these guys out, you can trust them with whatever you need!

4. MetzFab Industries

Website: https://metzfabindustries.com/

Address: 23012 N 15th Ave, AZ 85027

Contact: (602) 780-2308

Hours: Monday-Thursday: 8:00 AM-5:00 PM; Friday: 8:00 AM-12:00 PM; Saturday-Sunday: Closed

MetzFab Industries specializes in computer numerical control machining and standard waterjet cutting. They act as a true project partner from early development through final design.

Hands-on design help is part of the deal. That’s useful if you’re still shaping an idea.

Their facility handles varying material thicknesses with precision. That makes them a good fit for architectural designs and restaurant equipment.

I also like that their skilled team delivers on time.  The quality of their work is above expectations.

The downside is their industry focus. Their expertise leans toward aerospace and oilfield work, so confirm they’re not the best choice for simple residential projects.

Their quality is top notch

Metzfab has been great to us, and they’ve had great customer service.  They even go so far as to help us complete our drawings when we need it, or even create new drawings for us when ours were incomplete or wrong.  This was incredibly nice of them to do.   They also re-invest in their business with new machinery and have doubled their capabilities since our first visit. We’ll always return to them for fabrication that’s out of our wheelhouse. They meet their deadlines, and their quality is top notch.

Quality of work is above expectations

As a new customer to this company we’ve been very satisfied and have had an amazing experience from start to finish. Quality of work is above expectations and project was received faster than expected. Brandon modified and redeveloped our design to be the new industry leading standard. By taking on this change, it’s helped cut down our costs and be more efficient. Thank you to all employees from MetzFab! – Liberty Home Products Team

5. Monsoon Metal Manufacturing

Website: http://monsoonmetal.com/

Address: 2210 W Shangri-La Rd, Suite B1, AZ 85029

Contact: (602) 881-3496

Hours: Monday-Friday: 7:00 AM-5:00 PM; Saturday-Sunday: Closed

Monsoon Metal Manufacturing started because the founders were tired of slow deliveries and poor customer service. They built a facility that serves Arizona roofing contractors and homeowners with fast turnarounds on custom orders.

They produce precision-cut soffit panels and standing seam roofing quickly. Their solid and vented panels are also built to handle the desert climate.

Their local team keeps communication simple. You get clear updates from the first quote to the final installation.

They also back their work with a satisfaction guarantee. That’s extra peace of mind on custom orders.

The downside is their narrow focus. They stick mostly to soffit and fascia systems, so general structural fabrication is outside their lane.

Perfect finish product

My construction company Ascend Construction had a need for a couple of custom metal pieces fabricated for two jobs in North Scottsdale. I called Monsoon Metal and told them what I was trying to accomplish. Flint offered some suggestions to make sure I would get a solid product which I appreciated! The turnaround time was fantastic and the finished product was perfect. Monsoon Metal will be my go to company for all of my sheet metal needs!

Will definitely use them again

Top Notch!  I needed custom fabrication with quick turnaround, and Monsoon knocked it out of the park.  Ticked all the boxes for excellent customer service:  Responsive, great attention to detail, and delivered earlier than expected.  Will definitely use them again.
