We had custom wrought iron railings made for our front entry, and they turned out absolutely gorgeous! The mix of scrollwork and modern lines gives our home a stunning and welcoming look. The craftsmanship is flawless! Rene and his team were professional, kind, and clearly passionate about their work. We have received compliments from everyone who sees them. Truly exceptional quality and an amazing experience from start to finish. read more

We recently moved (back) to Tucson and purchased a home where we needed to replace two aging wooden gates, to be followed by snake fencing. Property goes down into a wash and there are lots of rattlesnakes. Rene fabricated the two primary gates, provided a replacement for a 3rd at "cost", and solved a problem of another not latching properly. We prefer to deal with smaller, locally-owned companies. In this case, we could not be more pleased with how that worked out. The quote was very reasonable, the fabrication excellent, and the installation process done on time and carefully. Some accommodations we needed for the eventual rattlesnake fencing were "no problem" and done correctly. 100% satisfied. Makes we want to purchase another property where I need new gates! read more

We are extremely pleased with the work of Distinctive Steel. They offered design options, finishing options, color chooses, and then provided a finished product at a very reasonable price in less time than any other competitor. The distinctive design is already drawing rave comments from our neighbors and friends. High Quality; high value. Highly recommend. read more

I am so happy with the fence and gate Distinctive Steel fabricated and installed for me. When I bought my house there was a brick wall around the property that was only about 3 feet high, and I needed something higher to keep my dogs safe. Rene was very quick to respond and give me a quote which was thousands less than the other two quotes I got. The installers finished the whole project - just under 200 linear feet - in one day. The fence looks great and I LOVE the gate they designed for me. I highly recommend Rene and Distinctive Steel. read more

These guys are awesome! I needed a kind of special item : a wrought iron utility cover for the power meter in front of our house. I emailed them and Rene got back to me the next day and was able to come by that same week! We brainstormed how we wanted it to look and he drew out the idea. It only took a month to get done ( he had estimated 2 months) and the price was very reasonable. It turned out awesome! 10/10 would recommend! read more

Very professional and reasonably priced. The address in Yelp is wrong. 5656 S Joseph is the correct address.

Rene was awesome to work with! I wanted to add a security door to a rental property and contacted him for info. He was very responsive to my contact and worked with me completely over the phone and through text. This was a huge deal for me as my time is so limited and I needed flexibility. I left a lot of design choices up to him, but made the final decision based on those recommendations. It turned out perfectly. Very happy with the completed job! Will definitely be using them for other work. read more

First off let me start by saying that rot iron fences and gates are very expensive nowadays. Are used to be that I could find a nice iron door for about $400. Nowadays you won't find one less than $700-$900. And even those are not that great. With all of that out of the way. Let me just say that I did do some shopping around and distinctive Steel was right under the competition. There steel work and coloring is second to none. I would highly recommend this place to anybody that wants a rot iron door and gate fence. I got both and would recommend them to any of my family or friends. Most places would charge for the screen upgrade or coloring upgrade. Distinctive steel does a little bit not even close to what those other places charge. Some places were also not from Tucson and we're subcontracted from Phoenix. I prefer local and give you my business to local. This company is very easy to work with and we're willing to do would it took to earn my business especially as a military member who was heading out on deployment. They really took care of me and my family! Trust them to do a great job! Because they will. read more

Rene is a stand up guy with an amazing talent. I live in the Dove Mountain area and have a courtyard I wanted to enclose with a metal door. We drew up the plans together and negotiated price. He gave me a timeline and... voila!!! Rene... Thank You so much for the amazing work! The clear coat finish giving it the industrial look is exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely be calling you for a couple more jobs. read more

Highly recommend this company!! From the beginning, the owner was amazing to deal with...we had planned to get several quotes for a front entry door, a double door for the patio, and a window covering. However, after meeting with the owner, getting his very reasonable quote and time frame, we felt so comfortable that we canceled our other visits for estimates from other companies. He is extremely professional, timely in his communication, reasonable in his prices, and genuinely cares that you get the product you expect! We cannot say enough about how much we love our doors and window covering!!! They are such heavy, quality doors, very well constructed, and beautifully artistic at the same time! Thank you, Distinctive Steel!! We are thrilled!!! read more

Rene is amazing, and so are all of his workers and subcontractors. My family and I own two houses, side by side, with one entry driveway. After we used Rene and Distinctive Steel to put on new security doors and side gates at our homes, we hired Rene to do our front entry security gate - a beast of a project. But Rene made it look beautiful! He was thorough, honest, and came in ahead of schedule, knowing how excited we were to have this added security to our properties. He sends texts with photo updates throughout the process, so we are kept up to date. And he is always quick to respond with any questions, with great patience and professionalism. I can't thank him and his team enough for enhancing our properties, and more importantly securing the safety of our homes. Please support local Tucson business like Rene's!! read more

I have reviewed Distinctive Steel before , after installing gates and security doors. Today, I would like to applaud them for their great customer service. They've been called back to our property for adjustments a few times and, as always, we get immediate response. Rene and his team are so responsive and helpful. They take great pride in their work and put the customer at ease with any issue. This alone should put their company at the "top of your list" if you're looking for decorative steel to enhance your home or property. read more

I can't recommend this company enough. Rene was a great communicator and did whatever was necessary to make sure we were 100% satisfied. The crew always arrived when they said they would. Craftsmanship was top notch. I wish there were more contractors in Tucson that were this reliable. read more

So happy with the service and product! Rene, JJ and Mario were wonderful! I called to request a quote and JJ came the same day to do the quote, and drew up the design I requested all during that visit. Then they had a custom gate installed within 7 days. They even made custom sconces for me and had them ready by the then the gate was installed. Mario did a wonderful job installing our gate. Highly recommend this company for any metal work. read more

Can we give more than 5 stars??? Rene & his company are the best! Rene's patience is unbelievable as my husband & I continued to change our minds on design. FINALLY, we settled on the design - YAY! Rene & crew installed our security door, a gate to our courtyard and some screening on a side gate. WOW, love the workmanship and LOVE the doors! Look no further...you won't go wrong! Thanks Distinctive Steel! read more

We needed to replace our security bars, because they were rusted and lacked a safety release. Rene came out and gave us an estimate and worked with us on a design. I didn't want something generic and he showed us The Man in the Maze design. I really liked it and I think it turned out well. Rene and his staff are really friendly and professional. I definitely recommend him. read more

Distinctive Steel - Man in the Maze - Fences & Gates Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

all these great reviews. That is why we contacted him. Plus we wanted to support local small businesses. Rene came out the beginning of November and gave an estimate for a non complicated job. We accepted and he wrote on the estimate/contract that it would be done 1st couple weeks in December That was ok as we needed it done before Christmas. On the first day of the second week in December we haven't heard a word, so we contacted him as to what day that week he was coming so we could make sure our schedules were cleared up. He called back the next day saying he was finishing up a big job and would have ours done next week. Well it's now Thursday of that next week (3rd week in December)..11 days after he said he would be here this week...... and we haven't heard a word from him....we cleared up our schedules yet again for this past week. And here is what else he just lost out on.... if he did as great a job as all the reviews said, we had a huge $$$$$$$ job that we needed done next. Looking at another site review, seems he has done this before. Now we wonder if all the great reviews are too good to be true or perhaps a scam. Extremely disrespectful to the customer, no contact as to even when or IF our job would be done, ignoring the contract, changing our schedules for this. If we knew this was going to happen, we would have found someone else to have this done before Christmas. Now it's too late. oh, and we only spoke with him 2x. at the signing of the estimate and then to ask when he was going to be here. Beware if you want to hire this company. read more

Rene's work is bar none. His prices are reasonable, he is friendly, easy to work with and he has an incredible eye for detail. You dream it, he can make it! He made several raw steel gates and trellises that will rust naturally over time. The gates have door sweeps on the bottom and they are fully framed so our yard is now snake proof. For one gate we showed an inspirational design photo and what he made is an absolute work of art. We will be back for more!! read more

We absolutely love our new security screen door! I had a few different quotes and chose to go with Distinctive Steel because Rene seemed like an honest guy who does really good work. He wasn't the most expensive nor the least expensive. Rene made the exact door that I had described to him and envisioned. After a few months of having the door up, I find that when I pull up to my house, my eye always goes to the screen because it is so beautiful! Thank you Rene! read more
