Friendly Fabrication - Oakland, California

Literally what can’t this guy do, and do with the humor and charm, something so absent in society today. Dylan can do the impossible, find me someone who can construct 20’ 1/4” floating steel shelves or water jet cut organic shapes and weld them together seamlessly and with out a noticeable seam. From carts, to shelving, custom greenhouses, and planter boxes. I’ve had Dylan’s help on many projects and referred him numerous times. Nothing but thanks and praise have come my way. You’d be lucky to find this post and get acquainted with this master craftsman. Also, ask him anything about Seinfeld, he knows all!

I'm not one to leave reviews however, I couldn’t be more thrilled to share my experience working with Dylan at Friendly Fabrications! From the get-go, Dylan showcased not only his unparalleled expertise in the field but also an exceptional level of reliability and trustworthiness that immediately put me at ease.

As I presented my project needs (a planter box for a tight spot in front of my house) and potential challenges, Dylan’s creativity shone brightly, providing innovative and practical solutions that demonstrated a keen understanding and deep insight into fabrication work. What genuinely set Dylan apart was his capacity to weave his expertise into solutions that were not only highly effective but also incredibly affordable, demonstrating a profound respect for my budget without compromising on quality.

Working with Dylan was a sheer delight due to his warm and approachable demeanor. His fantastic sense of humour was the cherry on top, turning what could have been a stress-filled process into an enjoyable and uplifting experience. Not only was he consistently friendly and engaging, but he also ensured I felt heard and valued at every step of our journey together, creating a collaborative and positive working relationship.

In a world where genuine, high-quality service is often hard to find, Dylan is a shining exception. His combination of top-notch skill, creativity, affordability, and a fabulous personality not only exceeded my expectations but also solidified Friendly Fabrications as my go-to for all future needs.

Thank you, Dylan, for turning my project into a remarkable journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Friendly Fabrications to anyone seeking top-quality, creative, and reliable service with a friendly touch!

I’ve had tons of projects completed by Dylan and his team, the latest being this set of custom rolling bookshelves. From a list of requirements and a sketch on a napkin they created these gorgeous, subtle, and incredibly robust pieces. They’re lightweight but each is easily holding over 500 pounds of books. I have no doubt they’ll outlast me. Every job they’ve done for me they’ve undercharged and over delivered.

Working with Dylan was great! He was easy to communicate with and helped me hash out my idea out into reality. I appreciated his creativity. I look forward to working with him on more metal projects in the future. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

Dylan made a beautiful iron gate for my family which perfectly matched the style of our house. The quality of the gate was only surpassed by the quality of the service we received, both in planning and installation. Dylan made himself available for any questions we had, which was much appreciated. I Highly Recommend Friendly Fabrication!

Friendly Fabrication was great to work with. Dylan does beautiful clean metal work with skill and efficiency. He seems like one of those rare people who is a great communicator, highly skilled at his craft, and highly creative. It’s the trinity! I had some design challenges along the way and his insights and ideas really helped make a much better project. I can not say enough good things about this place and am already dreaming up some new projects. Dylan puts the friendly in fabrication.

Friendly Fabrication is the best around! Their expertise, attention to detail, professionalism and friendliness are second to none. They fabricated a gate for my backyard that looks fabulous. There’s no one else I’d hire to do any and all of my metalwork. Thanks, Dylan & FF team!

Friendly is right!! Fabrication, sure, but delivered more than that.
Dylan was great to work with and I appreciated his flexibility and follow-through. He's a artist with metal. Even his shop dog is friendly!
