Luke Smithson2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did a very nice job on a piece of custom ductwork I needed for a commercial kitchen project. Part was made exactly to my specifications. Jason Rosen did a great job communicating and making sure they understood the specs before doing the work. Will definitely use again. AJ Abell2024-10-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This team is awesome & incredibly knowledgeable. They take genuine interest in their projects and will really take the time to make sure you get exactly what you want. I came in with a unique request and Jason & Tom couldn’t have been nicer and more helpful, and Michael O’Donnell is one of the best in the business. In a time where many services seem so transactional, it’s businesses like this that stand out. These guys are top notch & I’ll 100% keep going back for all my projects. Luiz Spiezio2024-09-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contacted O'Donnell for stainless steel trays we needed on short notice. They delivered quickly and at a competitive price. Their team was a pleasure to work with, and we’ll definitely be returning as repeat customers! Kevin Schleinkofer2024-09-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you all at O'Donnell Metal Fabricators with your help securing my table. Michael and Tom came up with a great plan and completed the project in a timely manner. Paul Weininger2024-05-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I entered their office and was greeted by Jason, a very bright and helpful person. It turned out that he was also a very good, considerate person. I went to this Metal Fabricating Company with a very unusual request. I was requesting a specially constructed hard, yet safe bed for my 8 month old puppy. He would chew all prior soft beds and eat the pieces that came off. I even went to a National chain hardware store and purchased a round aluminum base (usually used to be placed under a water heater in case of a leak.) Our dog loved laying in it and used it as his bed. He likes hard surfaces. This item however, since it was made out of tin, the puppy chewed completly around the edge and finally was able to chew off a piece that I had to grab before he swallowed it. That would have resulted in surgery for him to get this rough piece of metal out of him. So I thought if I could get the same design but made of iron or steel that he would not be able to chew it and swallow any pieces that may come off since I didn't think that would be possible. Jason, at O'Donnell actually showed me what they could make for my pup and quoted me a written cost. He however cautioned me to check with my dog's Vet. to assure that he wouldn't break any teeth. I did that and the Vet told me not to try it since they couldn't guarantee that his permanent teeth wouldn't break. Here is a Company that could have had a sale with me but their their representative Jason proved that he is principalled, kind and thoughtful and thought about the customer first. He is the kind of person and obviously represents the kind of Company that one can trust, knowing that when you do business with them, you'll get a good product from very conscientous people. Kudos to them along with my high recommendation. PW Kristin Mindicino2024-04-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

DWB362022-06-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just had this group do an install of a Restaurant hood system in New Jersey. This company is first class all the way. Mike was a great guy to work with and communication with the contractors were on point. The fire inspectors raved about the job they did and said "I wish these guys did all the installs around here", I will use them again on future installs.Google rating score: 4.8 of 5, based on 13 reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
