Customer Says
“Working with Design Fabricators has been critical to the success of all of Cafco’s projects with them. Their estimating, hands on project management, shop execution and product installation are a clear indication of their passion and dedication while always exceeding the clients expectations. Their ability to source the best products for the job and their collaboration with multiple vendors are just a few of the things that allow them to produce the highest quality project every time”
David O’Connor – Cafco Construction Management, General Contractor
“The Armstrong family and Design Fabricators have been a valued vendor and partner to me for over (30) years. We have completed projects ranging from numerous Raytheon properties to multiple Rebecca’s locations and Tower Hill Botanical to Rita’s Catering. These venues vary from corporate dining, collegiate cafeterias, lounges, hospitals, cafés and restaurants – and all of them a success story. Bob, Robin and Denise have assembled a great professional staff that all share a “can do” mind set. From estimating to installation, I am always in good hands”
