Excellent Experience - Highly Recommend! As someone who knew…read moreabsolutely nothing about fencing before starting this project, I couldn't be happier with my decision to go with Americana Ironworks. Here's why they earned my enthusiastic recommendation: Fair and Competitive Pricing: I got quotes from several companies, and Americana's estimate was very reasonable - not the cheapest, but definitely fair for the quality they delivered. No hidden fees or surprise Top-Notch Installation Team: This is where they really shined. The crew that came out was professional, courteous, and detail-oriented. They actually LISTENED when I explained what I wanted, double-checked measurements, and even made helpful suggestions I hadn't considered. When I had a small concern about the gate alignment, they adjusted it on the spot without any fuss. If you're like me and feeling overwhelmed by fence options, contractors, and pricing, do yourself a favor and give Americana Iron works a call. They made the entire process painless and delivered exactly what they promised. Bottom line: Great value, excellent communication, and quality workmanship. What more could you ask for?

Don't spend a lot of time comparing options (like i did). He's the right one - the referral i got was spot on... Photos are from one room (the last one they did) ___The Choice___ After nearly 15 years in our home, we decided it was time to freshen up the interior with a full paint job. I looked around for a few people and got two providers to come in for a quote. Isaiah came recommended from a freind that did a full gut rehab and had a great experience with him. The other was a reco from the house next door after they had a full interior paint job. Isaiah's pricing was much better and more transparent. He actually included one page for each of the 3 floors, with specific details of the work to be done in each area and the price for that room/section. His price was also better than our other option by a meaningful amount. It wasn't cheap, but the proposal was so detailed, I felt like it made sense. It was also easy because he is a responsive communicator and seemed to be "on top of things" when we exchagned notes. __Scheduling__ We gave him a small deposit (20% or so) and decided that we wanted to wait 2 months before beginning work (trips and guests). He put us on the calendar, but life happened. About 2 weeks out, we needed to push back 2 more weeks. He flipped a few jobs and accomodated us - which he didn't need to do. It was a HUGE blessing to us. ___The Work___ We expected it to be a 2 week job, but it took 16 working days (3 weeks + a final saturday) to do the work. The went floor by floor, essentially 1 week at a time. We have a lot of space and needed a fair amount of repair work from water damage and sub-par previous patchwork. We also had a lot of trim to re-paint. Plus, it was our fault: He worked with us on all of that and a few odds & ends that we asked for after he started. It raised the price, but was more than fair and probably screwed up his schedule by a day or two. They were good at the start time every day, which helped (plus or minus 20mins). They wrapped each day at a good time for us too. They also worked clean and covered everything on the floors they were working (the repairs created a LOT of dust). It was typically 2 guys, sometimes 3. Most floors were color matched, with a few changes. ___The results___ We are VERY VERY VERY satisfied with the work Isaiah and his team did in the house. The work was crispy and they were quick to address any last minute quality issues we saw as we inspeted every rooms (lots of them). The repair work was flawless and we're finally back in a "new" looking house. I can't recommend the Isaiah enough.

We met with Adam to discuss the project and he helped us collaborate a design that works perfect for our space. Their prices were extremely fair and the workmanship is top notch.

I would definitely recommend them for any roofing or deck building needs.

Never again! In May 2025, I hired CRC to replace a detached garage roof. They were responsive and…read morecame out to quote the project, and I essentially went with a full replacement. My garage rooftop deck is finished with Trex decking so part of the agreement was to remove the decking and reinstall it - as is - post roof replacement. They came out on schedule and removed the Trex and replaced the floor boards where needed - per our agreement they were also suppose to replace the liner but they didn't. No big deal - they replaced half of it that was sitting over the damaged wooden floor boards. Once the roof was replaced, I pushed them to complete a water test - I basically brought a hose up there and ran water to see how it would drain. The drainage was ok not great as you could see small shallow pools of water. When asked, they said it how the roof pitch is setup - so fine we move on. Once the roof is done, they start to install the deck. About 80% of the way through, I happen to do a quick check and notice the deck is clicking. Apparently, they did not purchase enough Trex clips that secure the boards to the sub frame. So they agree to purchase more and install them. The right way to do this would be to remove the deck boards and start over but they removed a few boards and slid the clips in and drilled the screws down. Here is where it all went wrong. They screw heads started to chip and break the edges of the Trex decking. You think with the owner standing there he would have told them to stop but they kept going and ruined my Trex decking. Zero quality control or management from the owners who are there to push their crew to complete the job fast and move onto the next one. Not only did the ruin it, they installed the deck boards at an angle so the deck isn't even straight. They agreed to find a solution and come back to repair - and even took a small piece with them to match colors. Months go by and I keep hearing excuse after excuse. I sent multiple emails to the owner and exchanged texts (all of which I have in my records). All I received in return were promises to touch base and then once winter came, we decided to push the repairs to spring 2026. So May rolls around and I started corresponding with the owner (Adam) - who doesn't even care to respond but has his father (Richard) who is involved with the business return phone calls (have voicemails to back this up). He tells me that he will add me to his schdue on a Saturday / so Sat rolls around and I don't hear a word. I chase them and wait around all day. No show and no phone calls. I call them on the following Monday and ask them to fix this issue but no response. I sent them an email asking them to call to sort this out and no response. I would AVIOD them at all costs / they will damage your property and not resolve it. Seems like they will say anything to get the business.If you lucky enough where damage didn't occur then great. They also offer a warranty - given this experience, I don't expect them to honor it irrespective of I have it in a written document. Super disappointed. I was quite patient and understanding but they took advantage of my flexibility. Additionally, they will ask you to pay with Zelle / cash.
