I actually ran into Alberto on the street while he was working on a job and asked if he was available to do an estimate for a job to install gates and security bars on the windows at my place. He scheduled an appointment and didn't even bother showing up after taking a day off work just to wait for him. I guess Alberto is only interested in doing big jobs or has plenty of work from existing clients. No courtesy call or response to messages left. Ended up going with another contractor who was quick and responsive. The previous reviews are indeed correct, so beware when attempting to work with them. read more

Hard to review. They CANCELL on me TWICE as I was ready to sign and commit to job. Very lacking in professionalism. No return calls. Don't know how they are in business. One star is generous. read more

I have nothing but high praise for Alberto's Iron Works!!! Alberto came over exactly on time. He did his measurements swiftly and professionally, and created a design that was exactly what we wanted. He and his crew, came over about a week later, and worked fast. They were professional, did everything exactly right, and left after leaving the workspace neat and clean. After they were done, Alberto followed up to ensure that everything went well. There is frankly nothing more I could have asked for. BTW, I also got quotes from a few other competitors, including 5 STAR Yelp's. Some of them arrived with fancy CAD software, but the reason I gave Alberto Iron Works the contract was because I could see that Alberto was the only one who approached the design and measurements right. Exactly the way we asked. Moreover, his quote was definitely more fair than that of his competitors, although they all offered similar service. Alberto's Iron Works was better. I recommend Alberto's Iron Works unhesitatingly. Alberto and his staff are friendly, very courteous, efficient and outstanding professionals,. read more

I had Alberto's Iron Works handle the partial restoration of my staircase and the installation of a security gate. Both Aberto and Alberto Jr. were extremely professional and they did a great job on both projects. I discussed what I wanted, for the first project over the phone, with Alberto Jr. He explained, throughly, what all my options were and what the "out-the-door" price would be for each option. There is no way he could have known I was Mexican and he gave me a more than fair price on the option I chose. What I appreciate most is that the owners are the actual guys that perform the work and take pride in doing a very professional job. We discussed the second project, in person - on site, and decided on all the specifics. Both Alberto and Alberto Jr discussed the Pros and Cons and suggested the perfect plan to accomplish my goals and stay within my limited budget. THE PRICE NEVER VARIED FROM WHAT WE ORIGINALLY DISCUSSED. All-in-all, I am very happy with the results and will hire them again for future projects. This father-son team is honest and hardworking - a great combination for a trustworthy business. read more

After corresponding with Alberto (owner) via phone and email, this business has no transparency and their customer service is the worst. No follow-up or call back. Was referred to this business from Daly City Lock & Key to replace my electric lock mechanism. Requested other services as well. Alberto gave me a price over the phone and I was ready to sign the contract. Too bad they lost a customer due to their poor business practice. Do not patronage. Very unprofessional family business. read more

They do okay work, but I think they have a different price for the gringos than they do for their fellow Latino brothers and sisters. Also, they will tell you a price, then keep adding things onto it. I had asked for a spring latch on the gate instead of a deadbolt lock, but Alberto Jr was insistent that I really wanted the deadbolt. Later I tried to replace the deadbolt lock with the kind of lock I had originally wanted. I tried to find a spring latch that would work/fit on the gate, but it was suck a unique opening on the gate that I couldn't find ANY locksmith in town who could get one for me. When I called Alberto's back and asked about the spring latch, they did have one for me, but were very rude to me when I told them it's what I wanted in the first place. They said I could have had any kind of latch I wanted (which was not the case at all). They did have a spring latch to sell me, but charged me $35 just for the stupid little latch (not including any of the outer handle/lock mechanisms), which was nearly as much as I would have paid for an entire lock at Lowe's or Home Depot, if they would have made the opening in the gate to the same dimensions as a regular door. I didn't think they were friendly, and I definitely won't use them again. Also, after I bought my gate from them I received a couple of letters from Alberto and Alberto Jr. telling me Alberto Jr. was in the real estate or mortgage (can't remember which) business now and soliciting my business. I was miffed that they would use their customer base from their Alberto's Iron Works business to send out mailings to solicit business for his son's new real estate/mortgage business. That seems like a violation of my privacy. read more

I thought Alberto did a great job- professional, good quality and most importantly: his work feels safe and sturdy!

After going to Gomez iron works for an estimate on some gates i wanted to put at my home i decided that they were a bit too expensive, so i looked around the bay area for other ornamental shops, and i came across Alberto's Iron Works. In contrast to what Steve may say... Alberto's Iron Works was able to give this gringo a great price, and were able to accommidate me. Alberto came to my home to look at the work i wanted done, and was able to give me a free estimate before i commited to any sort of business with them. The work Alberto and Alberto jr do is absolutly original and very econimic. Alberto makes his own drawings, and he makes sure everything is perfect after the job is done. They are both very professional and get the job done. I would definatly recommend them hands down. read more

I had called Alberto's for an outdoor handrail twice. The first time I was given a day and time for the estimate at my home. Lo and behold, they did not show up, nor send me a courtesy phone call. I thought I would give them the benefit of the doubt and called them again several days ago to return my phone call. Still I have not heard from them. I suppose they do not want any business b/c this is a sure way not to get any. read more

I wanted a gate for the front of my house. After shopping around for prices I found that Albertos Iron Works had the best prices for the work I wanted done and they were very professional. The estimate they gave me was the same price I paid for the work. I would highly recommend them and go back to them. read more
