DO YOU REQUIRE A DEPOSIT?

Your trust, and confidence, in Skyline Metal Fabrication to complete your project is of utmost importance.

We require a 50% deposit to confirm the schedule, purchase supplies and to begin labor for your project. The remaining balance is due when the project is complete and meets your satisfaction. We remain in contact throughout the fabrication process, provide information and updates so that you will be informed of the work progress.

WHEN DO YOU DO ESTIMATES?

We can come to your property most days of the week, take measurements and meet to discuss the project. You can meet us on site for discussion and allow access to the property, or we can take measurements alone. If it is a rental property, we ask that you inform the residents of our arrival. At our busiest times of the year, we will work to meet and make estimates as timely as possible.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR FABRICATION AND INSTALLATION?

Your specific project and needs will determine the length of time to complete the installation. In most cases, setting posts for fences and gates can happen as soon as schedule permits. We weld, fabricate and prime/paint in our own Chicago workshop, and deliver pieces to your property ready for us to install. Weather in Chicago is a factor to consider and we will do our best to keep clients informed throughout the process.

We welcome check in calls. We give realistic start times, and other information for projects with the official estimate.
