Dan and his team at Downtown FabWorks were able to fully produce and execute a largescale structure thoughtfully and in record time when my project’s deadline was threatened by Hurricane Ida. I couldn’t be more appreciative of Dan’s professionalism and hard work during a very stressful and uncertain time. Dan and his team were a joy to work with!
