"Of the 100+ fab shops I've been in over the past seven years, I can confidently say that this is one of the cleanest and most efficient. As a new partner, there was no favor or request that I asked of them that they turned down or could not meet in a timely manner. They've stepped up and done above and beyond simply as a gesture of goodwill and to help my efforts in promoting the Cambria brand. And like Cambria, this is a family-owned company that is built on strong values and a sense of pride in their work ethic. Not only are Sam and Bruce wonderful business partners, I consider them both friends at this point as well. I am extremely confident in their abilities, craftsmanship and quality--they're a big operation that can meet high demands and yet still provide that small, family-owned feel."
