**★★★★★ — Anastasia Allen, June 2016**

> It was great working with Vigil Steel. Dan is very professional and does a super quality job. We are really happy with the way our patio fence and gates turned out. Installation was top-quality. He is very open to working with you to achieve your vision. I would not hesitate to work with Vigil Steel again.

**Comment from Vigil Steel LLC:**

> Hi Stacey, thank you for your review and for the great photo of the patio fence. It was a wonderful project and we really enjoyed designing it with you. It still looks so beautiful! We hope you continue to enjoy it for many, many years.

**★★★★★ — Carmen O'Brien, April 2016**

> We powder coat Dan's projects: railings, chimney caps, bumpers, etc. He does super nice work.  Dan's is an excellent welder/ fabricator!

**Comment from Vigil Steel LLC:**

> Thank you Carmen! We always take pride in our welding and Vigil Steel offers a wide range of custom metalwork so we are grateful to have a partnership with Advanced Powder Coating.

**★★★★★ — Jolene Bradstreet, April 2016**

> Dan & Nikole thank you for making an idea come to life!  The customer fire pit you constructed is beautiful and exactly what I was looking for!  I am so impressed with the craftsmanship of the product as well as the great customer service and prompt response to my custom request!!!

**Comment from Vigil Steel LLC:**

> Hi Jolene, thank you for taking your time to give us a review. We enjoyed building the custom fire pit for you and are so glad it is what you imagined it to be. We love bringing people's ideas and dreams to life. May you all have many happy camp fire nights!

**★★★★★ — Mildren Plumbing, Inc., April 2016**

> Vigil Steel is a first class company!  We have had Vigil Steel complete custom metal projects for us and we were very happy with the results.  They were very professional to work with and their craftsmanship is top notch.  The last project Vigil Steel completed for us was a custom metal sign for our house.  They were able to take our ideas, produce a computerized proof of the sign and then produce a sign that was far above our expectations.  We would highly recommend Vigil Steel!

**Comment from Vigil Steel LLC:**

> Thank you for your review, it is a pleasure working with you. Dan & Nikole Vigil

**★★★★★ — The Blind Guy of Kalispell, April 2016**

> Dan is the best. I have used Vigil on a variety of projects both personal and in conjunction with my business. The quality of his product and design work can't be beat. Dan built an exterior post and beam system to mount one of our large motorized sunshades. Solid and beautiful to match the outside living area. My customers and I both had our expectations exceeded. I recommend Vigil Steel to everyone. Rick Bagley. Owner @ Blind Guy

**Comment from Vigil Steel LLC:**

> Thank you for your review and we are so glad that we exceeded expectations. It is always our goal to be exceptional and professional! Dan & Nikole Vigil
