    Perfectly done. Jim even recommenced the metal polished and was kind enough to take the frame to him for us.
    Darianna C.

    Jim is a real artisan and so skilled with metal. He made a beautiful metal trim for our kitchen hood (after it was built and installed - which is not easy to do) after our contractor failed to deliver. Luckily my husband found him and he designed it perfectly. It's the crown jewel of our kitchen. If you need something custom made, he's your guy. He's hard working, fair and very reasonably priced. Thank you!!!

    BMW door mirror
    Louis R.

    Came by and spoke to owner Jim very professional and honest, the door mirror for my BMW Z4 broke off, I went to just about every welding shop in the valley, everyone said it couldn't be welded, some said its aluminum, some said is zinc, some said is cast etc. Jim said "leave it here and see what I can do, I'll charge you $35" Came back next day, he had done his magic! Perfect welding job, no parts were damaged by the heat. I couldn't believe it! The dealer wanted $390 for the whole assembly since they don't sell separate parts, thanks to Jim I didn't get taken by BMW stealer

    (The smaller handle at the bottom is the original. The two larger handles are Jim's handiwork. Look at that craftsmanship!)

    I own a home in the Hollywood Hills that underwent a $2 million renovation in 2003. With four stories, it took a large investment and a great deal of attention to detail to get my place to look as great as it has. I have a wine cellar and an accompanying adjacent bar underneath which there have been a matching under-counter Sub Zero freezer and refrigerator. The freezer recently gave out and there was no comparable freezer available. As a result, I had to buy a different freezer that, instead of having a single door with a built-in handle, has two separate drawers that require panels and handles to go with them. The rest of the wine bar has beautiful, uniquely-designed custom-made handles made of steel with a brass finish. But when I contacted the original designer of the handles from back in 2003, he said that they only had the 4-inch version of the handles and that he wouldn't create matching 10-inch handles that would match the rest. That's where Jim came in. At first, Jim was dubious about being able to make handles that would match adequately. But with time and some conversation, Jim agreed to take on the task and wow, did he deliver! The handles are not an exact match, but they didn't have to be exact. And, unlike the originals, the new handles were made from real brass instead of from steel with a brass finish. His work was truly amazing and his price was really reasonable to get exactly what I had hoped for. Jim is a true craftsman and he is seriously creative. I plan to use A-1 Weldors for all my future projects that require his amazing talents.

    Jim fabricated the bike rack and beefed up the frame to handle the weight
    Rennie G.

    I wanted a bike rack for my Honda Goldwing and had some parts that could be fabricated. Jim not only fabricated the bike rack, but saw how the frame needed to be reinforced to handle the weight. He understood that towing a trailer is different from the downward pressure the bike would create on the tow hitch. That was 8 years ago, and it has worked great. When I got a new Honda, I went back to Jim to repeat that work on the new bike. He really knows what he is doing, and it work is great. P.S. I see that Kambiz M. wrote a bad review saying he marked up the job 300%. I also found out the guy asked for one weld on the phone, but brought in 3 times more work when he showed up. Not cool. And then he gives Jim a bad review. This is a customer that no one would want.

    I looked up many, many other welders and I am extremely glad I found this guy. I mean he is the best.

    See all

    We're very pleased. Patrick and Fernando did a terrific job. We had a rough idea of what we'd…read morewanted when we first met them, and the process of finalizing the finer details was really straightforward. The job was pretty swift, considering it was all custom. They measured carefully, and discussed potential issues with us and how we might like to work around them (mostly issues of our old house having walls not perfectly true, and of building codes having changed a lot since our former railing had been installed). All made sense and we came up with agreeable workarounds. They did initial fabrication on site, to make sure that everything fit perfectly, and then did the finishing work and painting off site. The final install was meticulously precise. The new railing is very sturdy. Photos show completed railing BEFORE we installed new finished flooring. It is bolted to the subfloor and to some reinforcement blocking that they installed under the subfloor for us, as well. Overall, we're quite happy with it. For something like this our goal had been to install a railing that will last for 50 years, and I think they met that goal for us.

    Exceptional Craftsmanship and Beautiful Hand Railings…read more Signature Iron Works exceeded all expectations with the custom hand railings they created for our home. The craftsmanship is truly outstanding--every detail is precise, elegant, and built with integrity. You can tell from the quality of the materials and the flawless welds that they take immense pride in their work. The hand railings aren't just functional--they are made by a craftsman. Every weld is smooth. These hand rails were custom fitted to each stairwell and front porch. Professional, reliable, and incredibly skilled--Signature Iron Works delivers excellence from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for custom ironwork that's both beautiful and built to last.
