About Us

Hands on Metal is the creative sister company of Alopro Contractors, founded by Juan Carlos "JC" Arambula—a dedicated craftsman, father of eight, husband to Deniz Saucedo, and proud dog dad to Nova. JC began his construction journey in 2010, quickly earning a reputation for excellence and hard work.

​

To meet the growing demand for custom metalwork, JC partnered with longtime friends Sergio Guerrero and Heath Posey to launch Hands on Metal. Together, they combined their passion for design and craftsmanship to create a studio that blends construction expertise with artistic metal fabrication.

​

Rooted in the same values that made Alopro successful-transparency, excellence, and hard work-Hands on Metal specializes in hand-forged metalwork, custom patinas, and innovative multi-process techniques.

Whether it's architectural features, bespoke furniture, or one-of-a-kind installations, we treat every client like family and deliver exceptional results from start to finish.
