Also named, based in another state

The five questions we asked

Every company in this cell is measured on the same questions, written the way a buyer would type them. That is what makes the ranking a comparison rather than a collection of anecdotes.

1“Best metal fabrication companies in South Carolina”
2“Who supplies custom fabricated stainless steel frames in South Carolina”
3“I need a South Carolina metal fabrication partner for a 2,000 unit industrial enclosure run, who should I talk to”
4“Top metal fabrication services suppliers in South Carolina for OEM manufacturing buyers”
5“Which South Carolina metal fabricators can handle laser cutting, forming, and welding of 1 inch plate”
6“List 20 metal fabrication services companies in South Carolina with their specialties.”the roster question

Each question is asked more than once, which is why a company's score is out of 15 answers rather than out of the number of questions.
