Sanco Metal Fab

Sanco Metal Fab works as a welder and metal fabricator out of Lubbock, Texas. The company takes on custom fabrication and welding jobs with any type of metal. They also handle repairs, metal cutting, rolling, and motor bases. Since 1984 the shop has remained locally owned. After joining forces with Texcraft they added two lasers along with a waterjet and other equipment to handle more cutting and manufacturing tasks. Portable welding is listed as one of the options they provide. The business stays set up for local work at the address on Highway 87 and keeps free estimates available for anyone who calls in with a fabrication request.

Customers bring in projects like fixing broken parts or creating attachments based on sketches and photos. Kris handled a backhoe bucket modification that attached to a sifting bucket for a city shoreline cleanup effort. He matched the drawings exactly so the equipment could help clear debris from lakeside spots. Other work includes adding D rings to trucks, welding parts back together to match the original prints, and handling straightforward repair jobs that finish right away. Reviewers note that the finished pieces come out the way they were asked for without extra steps or changes.

Jobs move along quickly with fair pricing and clear communication. Reviewers point out solid turnaround times on custom projects and helpful service when details or specific requirements come into the shop. The business keeps itself open for local calls and provides free estimates on fabrication requests. People mention that the crew stays straightforward during drop offs and pick ups, and the work gets done without long waits once the details are in hand.

The shop carries a five-star Google rating even though the review count shows zero in the profile. Comments that come up again and again cover the quality of the finished pieces, how well they stick to the plans, and the direct way the crew handles things at the front and on the floor. Reviewers also note the people on site come across as good to work with on both simple fixes and more involved builds.

“Being a supervisor with the City Of Lubbock, I had a Shoreline cleanup project that needed fabrication of parts we had on hand. This was a specific and special project, so, I sent some sketches and some photos to Kris. We had a backhoe bucket that was fabricated and attached to a sifting bucket . He was able to exactly duplicate what I wanted. This will assist us with helping keep our lakeside areas free of debris. Outstanding turnaround pricing and customer service. Highly recommended.”
