Big Cat Metal Works welded the sign bracket for my business, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! They made it exactly how I envisioned and ensured it was strong enough to withstand Alaska’s cold, harsh winters. It’s incredibly durable, beautifully crafted, and the quality of their work is amazing. I highly recommend them!

I reached out to Chris for a project I’m working on, and he’s a solid guy to know when you need metal fabrication!
I’m building a pedal bike attachment for the back of his wheelchair so my French Bulldog can stay active and maintain muscle mass in his back legs.
Chris, thank you so much for helping make this project possible. I really appreciate your time, skills, and support!

I gave Chris a call for an estimate to replace the failed tongue on my travel trailer. He was there that day to take a look and gave me an estimate before the end of the day. He scheduled my trailer in quickly. Hes very communicative and punctual. Highly recommend! I'll be using his company again, if I ever need anything welding.

I have to say Chris at Big Cat is a true professional. I needed a fabrication job done and I called home and he said come down. So I went to his shop with an idea and pieces parts. I told him what my idea was on th running boards on my 99 gmc and what I needed. He instantly got a mat and went under and was looking at what he had to do. My truck is old and I figured he would say he couldn’t give me what I wanted but he surprise me he explained what he could do and set me up with an appointment. He had called later with a cancellation and drop
My truck off and get the work done earlier So I did I dropped it off on a Thursday night I work a Wierd shift and the next afternoon was called and said it was completed. Was kinda worried about what I was gonna see but when I got there Chris had gave me everything I had asked for and was hoping for. He is a true professional and a craftsman. My sincere thank you for everything

We were in a giant pinch and needed an item welded that came wrong from the manufacturer with no time to wait for a new piece. Chris answered on the first call and had us come down the next day when no one else would even answer their phones. He fit us in last minute and got us fixed up within a matter of hours at a great rate with excellent looking welds! Can't recommend him and his services enough! Everything fits perfect now and a big thank you to him for making it happen
