Eric is top notch. I came to him with a unique request of cutting off inlet and outlet of a radiator and having him tig weld 2 90 degree inlet/outlet on the side of the tank. Not only did he tig weld better than whoever JEG'S uses, he was also very quick about it and great with his communication. Between reviewing pictures of my issue, to taking a phone call to discuss it. 10/10 will recommend and use again.

Eric is an amazing artist. I purchased one of his hand made bottle openers and not only is it beautiful and rustic, it works better than any bottle opener I've owned. Eric has an eye for creativity and a hand for craft. This bottle opener (see picture) was once a train track nail, and is now a staple item in our kitchen. Thanks Eric!

Fantastic welder, repaired our machinery and got us back up and running. Very professional.

Eric is an insanely talented iron worker! He has fabricated the most beautiful pieces for my stores in Chelan. He’s been able to take our ideas and sketch renderings that then become the most amazing pieces. He made us brass railings and steel clothing racks that were so clean and beautiful! Eric is so easy to work with and we would highly recommend using him. He will not disappoint and is so precise in what he does!

Eric made and installed custom railings for our front stairs. He was the most responsive contractor we've ever used since owning our home. We sent a few photos of the railings we liked and he executed our vision perfectly. Virtually everyone else we talked to told us it would be the spring (5+ months away) before they could install, but Eric gave us an estimate, met with us, designed and made the railings, and installed them in around 4 weeks. They're absolutely perfect.

Eric is smart, creative, and really nice. He designed my sailboat arch from scratch, bending, welding it together, and installing it. Due to the extra wide transom on my sailboat, and the drop down swim platform, we had to get a little crafty. He removed the push pits from the boat (scary), took them to his shop. After attaching the arch he came and reinstalled the push pits with the arch attached. Everything worked out perfectly. I fit the equipment and sailed it 1000 miles. Best addition I have done on the boat, and Eric did a great job! Everywhere I go we get lots of compliments on the arch. Thanks!

I hired Eric at Salient to help me out with the restoration of a 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. For those of you who don't know, you are always asking for MAJOR rust when you take on one of these vehicles as a restoration project. So, i ordered body panels and materials and had Eric do the rest. Needless to say he did a fantastic job, he completely treated the vehicle as if it was his own restoration project and repaired all of the rust (of which was plenty) flawlessly. Also, I must add...the body panels that I had ordered weren't going to arrive on time...not a problem for Eric....he fabricated both running boards, an entire rear quarter panel and fender, two rear fender wells with seat mounts and both rear door bottoms from scratch. Amazing work done in a very tight time frame. Fantastic personality, great guy, super easy to work with, an incredible craftsman and a must hire for all your fab/metal and welding needs. Ill definitely be flying him back to Washington to help me finish the cruiser in the future.

Thanks Eric,

Till Next time.

Eric is awesome! I had some old table legs that I wanted repurposed. We discussed what I wanted, he sketched out a diagram to my specs, and got right to work. The project came out perfect and my experience with him exceeded my expectations.
