The shop — est. 2023

Small crew.Big-shop credentials.

MetalHead Mechanical is John Donelson and a crew of 2–3 technicians working out of Nampa — 3 years of heating, cooling, and sheet metal built on one rule: no scare tactics. no upselling equipment you don't need. honest, knowledgeable, fast.

This company is named for the trade behind it — sheet metal. Before the trucks and the licenses, that's the craft: bending, fitting, and sealing the metal that actually moves air through a building. Plenty of shops swap boxes. We understand the whole system, which is why our diagnoses hold up.

Three years in, we've stayed deliberately small — 2–3 technicians. At this size, the person who answers the phone, quotes the job, and stands behind the warranty is the same person. There's no sales department with a quota, no tech paid commission to find problems. When we tell you a repair will hold, our name is on that sentence.

The industry earned its reputation for scare tactics honestly — and we built this shop to be the other thing. If your system needs a $30 part, that's the quote. If it's genuinely done, we'll show you why with numbers. Either way, you get the truth fast: standard hours 6am–5pm, after-hours 5pm–6am, weekends available.
