Recent but long overdue masonry work now required new wrought iron railings and it was mind…read moreboggling with the sheer number of wrought iron contractors locate in the NYC area. Sure, many of the newer style railings were gaudy stainless steel tubular varieties but we wanted a traditional black wrought iron railing to compliment both the newly tiled outside porch and masonry stairs. Usual headaches encountered running from real pushy contractors exacerbated by prices running from absurdly cheap to real cost prohibitive quotes. Wife ultimately got a half dozen quotes along with vendors who had impeccable reviews. We selected Mack Iron Works and German who not only provided a very decent price quote but a overview of a typical installation and how they would go about the installation process. What was reassuring to us was the fact German was not only extremely patient in answering all our concerns but made options for a trouble-free install. Yelp reviews posted from earlier customers gave us confidence Mack Iron Works was not only in business for quite some time but had a reliable record of very satisfied customers. Installation was completed in less than 3 weeks after contract signing. The arc welds were perfect .... continuous bead of weld and perfectly grinded to match adjoining sections. Hydraulic cement used for those posts where it was more advantageous over lag bolts and anchors. Very detail oriented crew of workers who not only touched up the factory painted rails with additional coats of oil based enamel but caulking at each base to insure longevity. German was onsite throughout the install. Wife extremely happy with her new wrought iron railing and the appearance of these new railing are simply amazing ...fit, finish, and cleanup after the install were all top notch. Could we have gotten the work cheaper? ..... Sure, but there's reasons why cheapest is not always the best decision! You must feel comfortable both materials and work are completed properly. My suggestion is to complete your due diligence and be prepared to be amazed at the current offerings of material sizes and styles. Don't be hesitant about alternative installation methods versus the traditional "drill a hole, insert the railing then fill with hydraulic cement". German and Mack Iron Works Rock! FYI, we refrained from selecting stainless steel even though it was considered maintenance free. The look is not only gaudy and a basic traditional design was non-existent. Materials used were "all" hollow-tube designs hence lag bolts and anchors were the only choice to secure. Wrought iron though NOT maintenance free requires repainting every few years but I find painting very therapeutic especially during Fall and Spring. I cannot speak for others but a nicely painted wrought iron fence or railing is way more attractive than chrome or stainless steel. YMMV!

They pointed out one other issue that may need repair in the next year (a failing hinge), but said that it was fine for now, did not put pressure on fixing - just said to call when ready to get it repaired. I rarely take the time to past reviews, but I had to in this case - I can't speak highly enough of this group! Thank you again guys!
