Advanced Metal Works, Inc. was only a dream to Dale & Carol Cross when they started their first heating and air conditioning repair business in 1980. As their business grew, so did the need for customized sheet metal products that were not available through local markets. Starting with just a hand brake in a garage, it has developed into a high tech and fully equipped sheet metal fabrication shop capable of doing almost anything related to various metal materials. Today with the involvement of their two sons, Graydon and Preston, it is known as one of the best custom shops in the central valley. Advanced Metal Works, Inc. and the Cross family sheet metal construction company, Four C’s Construction, operate from a strategic location easily accessible by major freeways in historic downtown Fresno.

Advanced Metal Works, Inc. was inspired by the demands of the booming construction industry which needed high quality, locally available, reasonably priced custom fabricated sheet metal products with a quick turnaround. The sheet metal industry has seen rapid growth and change as new architectural designs and construction alternatives have developed. AMW has been at the forefront of that change, continually upgrading technologies and equipment to provide customers with the quality and service that sets them apart in the central valley. The Company prides itself in taking a team approach to give the customer what he wants, at a fair price, in a timely manner.
