I had an excellent experience working with Robert at Howard Wire Cloth Company. He was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to making sure everything was handled the right way. Robert went above and beyond to answer questions, provide helpful guidance, and make the entire process smooth and straightforward.
It’s refreshing to work with someone who takes pride in what they do and truly cares about their customers. I would highly recommend Robert and Howard Wire Cloth Company to anyone looking for outstanding service and expertise. Five stars all the way!

Robert is very good at giving a helping hand who are in need of his materials. I didn't expect the service he gave me for a small qty of mesh.. most companies would have pushed me off he didn't

Great customer service and fast delivery. It’s hard to find gopher baskets that will last more than a few years and these baskets seem to provide a good longterm solution. These are pre-constructed large baskets and easy to work with.

We’re so grateful to Howard Wire Cloth Co. for supporting their local high school sports programs. Their willingness to invest in and support the students and school community truly means a lot. It’s wonderful to see local businesses give back and help make a positive impact in the community. Thank you for your support!

A great place! Instead of buying 2 sheets of metal racks, we were offered an remnant that cut our price for our project in half! Plus, they cut it to size for us for only $5 extra. Can't recommend Howard Wire Cloth Company highly enough!
