“Neumann Custom Woodworking has done several projects with MIgala Metal. They are always a pleasure to work with. Pricing is great and timing is always as promised. Each project that we have done is a little unique. Michael, the owner, takes the time to completely think through each project including the installation. It is great to have a supplier that helps make your job easier. His attention to detail and great work really shows in his finished projects.”
