Best experience I could've asked for. We have a beautiful handmade iron gate that suddenly broke and honestly I was somewhat afraid to have repair because I thought it could be damaged further. Excelsior Welding is excellent. Their schedule was full and they accommodated my request the very next day. Roberto welded our gate beautifully, left nothing behind, and is an honest hardworking and caring person. These days you can't find this quality of workmanship but it still exists!!!!! Roberto... thank you! And thank you for not squishing the spider either. read more

I have a La-Z-Boy recliner. A plastic piece broke and I had La-Z-Boy fix it. It was a horrific experience and very expensive. A week later a weld failed (original weld was defective) but I did not want to deal with La-Z-Boy again. I called around but most places were either not local or the job was too small. I called Excelsior Welding on a Wednesday and spoke to Roberto. I sent some pictures and he agreed to fix the broken piece on Thursday. I brought the chair to his shop to be fixed. He told me exactly what he was going to do before starting the job. He meticulously welded the bracket to the bar protecting the wiring, the leather, and the motor. He went above and beyond by straightening a guide bracket that had bent when the weld failed. His pleasant demeanor, professionalism, expert craftsmanship and attention to detail make it easy to leave a glowing (pun intended) recommendation. read more

Roberto and his team did an amazing job with our new exterior metal gate - it looks and feels very high quality, both very sturdy and very aesthetic. Not to mention, I worked with several regional vendors to price this job and Excelsior Welding was the most affordable. 10/10 would recommend Roberto and team! read more

Highly recommend Roberto and his team. Their communication was excellent throughout the process. They arrived promptly, fixed my gate lock efficiently, and offered a very competitive price. I'm extremely satisfied with the service and would definitely recommend them to others." read more

poor quality very slow and pride service, over charge fee, just go next door period, take 4 days not finishing this couple piece, and charge $200 while next door charge $50. If you still go here without shopping around, you are amazing people. read more

Scheduling can be tricky, but if you are patient, they do amazing work at super fair prices!!

For prompt service and quality workmanship, I recommend the Excelsior Welding company. Roberto and his assistant knew exactly how to fix our iron gate that was not closing properly. He is well equipped with his tools and immediately welded the part so that the strike plate did not stick out preventing the gate to close properly. Now our gate works perfectly, and we did not have replace the entire gate. Roberto is very personable and professional. Hire him for all of your welding needs, he is the best! read more

I experienced bad customer service from previous vendors. I took my chances to hire Ezcelsiorz I'm glad I did. Roberto is extremely customer oriented and personable He takes pride in his work to make sure every step of his work is detailed and meticulous. His knowledge is impeccable and wants to make sure the project is up to spec. . I sent my photos of my rusted door closer because I needed the gate to close without slamming which cause a bad vibration along the building. The work was done promptly and professionally. Excelsior is now my short list of vendors. I'm paying for years of experience that they have and the price is worth every penny... read more

Recommended a quick and easy solution to what I thought would require a full realignment of my gate door and charged a reasonable price. Was able to complete the job in half a day. read more

Sent them a text this morning and they stopped by around 4pm. Spent 5 minutes examining the lock on my gate and fixed the problem. It was like magic. Such an easy going team to work with. Will definitely use them again in the future. read more

We got so lucky to find Roberto and Nora. They were extremely professional, fast to respond, and also great communicators. We had a steel arm that was detached from our gate, and it made it impossible to open and close the garage door. When they showed up, I was confident very quickly that they could get the job done and would do a great job. Which they did! They also were reasonably priced vs. a lot of the Welding Companies I reached out to. I would highly recommend them to anyone who has big or small welding needs. read more

Another 5 star! Im confident they will make enough grateful customers to turn the 4.9 to a 5. I have a small handyman business and i do not own a welder. I was able to reach Roberto by the number on this yelp immediately, and he said i could bring some steel table legs that needed a repair in immediately, that he would be there until 4:30. I roll in there around 1:40, and before 3pm im back to pick up 3 large steel table legs that have been repaired. They may not always have the time available for this type of same-day turnaround, but in my case, i was able to complete this job same day, with a schedule that would have made it tough to fit the pickup/installation in another time this week. Much appreciated! read more

I live in an 8-unit, secluded, micro-gated community. Security has always been one of our priority concerns. We have 3 security gates to enter the common property. We've had issues before and have hired multiple, specialty, contractors over the years. Recently, there were issues with the first walk-in entry gate. At full swing, the gate would not close. During pickup days, RecologySF would leave the gate wide open. So early, in the morning, anyone could just walk in. Some residents still asleep. Not good at all. So I evaluated specialty contractors we've used before. I wanted to hire someone different. I read reviews of other companies and scheduled the assessments and cost estimates. I came across Excelsior Welding, which had great Yelp reviews. This company stood out. We selected Excelsior Welding, with no regrets at all. The owner, Roberto, has years of experience. His website offers multiple services under welding. I noticed one was gates work. At our scheduled, on-time, appointment Roberto thoroughly examined the issue. He explained his assessment and I was pleased with how he would address the repair. So our HOA hired Excelsior Welding. Roberto came, as scheduled, along with an assistant. All was 90% completed. He had to purchase an expensive part to complete the job. He, bought it for much less, and didn't charge us. He knew how to search and purchased it well below actual cost. Roberto returned, installed the part, and tested it 10 times. A requirement to insure the success of the job. It did take time, not a lot, but now the gate swing and closure work perfectly. Roberto always emphasized about making sure all was 100% completed and done right. He's detailed in his work, very attentive, to make it a job well done. I highly recommend Excelsior Welding for security gate work. But Yelp searches should include Excelsior Welding, and check the website. Roberto's services might include your needs. Roberto is friendly, honest, respectful, reasonable, and not a rush job. His focus is on the quality and insure jobs are completed correctly. Our HOA will keep Excelsior Welding on our list of specialty contractors. And contact Roberto, should other related issues come up. I give Roberto and Excelsior Welding a, well-deserved, high-5! read more

I had a great experience with Excelsior Welding when I needed our gates (made by Gomez) repaired to be made more secure. Roberto also installed a spring mechanism on one of our gates to make it self closing. I had called Gomez about making the gate self closing twice & emailed them once sending photos & explaining my issue and they were NO HELP whatsoever. They wanted nothing to do with a small job. Visitors & delivery people were constantly leaving the gate open and one day a new foster dog bolted out of my front yard! I kept researching online for gate hinges, calling & emailing so many places. Then I found Roberto who owns Excelsior Welding on Nextdoor by accident & contacted him. Our self closing gate is AWESOME! it does not slam closed and works reliably. read more

Roberto and his team did a great job with our metal railing repair, and even spray painted the area that was repaired black again. They came and did the repair onsite and let me know they were done a little over an hour later. read more

Excellent communication and service from Roberto and Nora on my front gate that I needed updating (adding a mesh screen and changing the lockbox to accommodate a keypad). It was great to connect with a local business in my neighborhood. Roberto's initial consult was quick and informative, giving me several options to decide on what I wanted. The actual work was speedy and efficient and Roberto made sure that I was satisfied with the service and craftsmanship. read more

I just needed a little job done, he I forgot his name , got me in fast and the job was great , he took his time , but make sure he gives you and estimate of what it would cost, could be pricey read more

Unbelievable service!! We have an old scissor gate in front of our storefront that hasn't been used in years. I called Excelsior Welding Co, Roberto came out within a couple of hours, he did a clean up of the gate and did what he could that day to make the gate more workable for me. He did not ask for any money and said he would return next week to repair the gate. He showed up today as promised and fixed the gate. I can't believe how friendly, responsive and reasonable his price was. You just don't get this kind of service too often nowadays. read more

Roberto is not afraid to go the extra mile to please his clients and I am very grateful to have had the pleasure to work with him.

Roberto, the Owner, is very conscientious and considerate,- always on time, communicative and professional. He is a true perfectionist who takes great pride in his work. We highly recommend Excelsior Welding Company,- they offer fair pricing with a great outcome. read more

Roberto was great! Super efficient - fixed my welding issue same day. Highly recommend.

Great welders and phenomenal service. Had a burglary, thieves bent my metal gate in SF to put a hand through and unlock. Roberto re-welded the door and gave advice on preventative steps. He doubles as a security consultant it seems. Honest, dependable and fair pricing is what you'll get from this company. read more

What a nice honest competent gentleman! First, before I had called him, I did my due diligence to be sure his license is active, and it is. Then when I called, he said he was just getting off a job and could swing by to see what the problem is with my gate. He came and said he could fix it and he thought it might cost x amount taking into consideration what he thinks the cost of the replacement part. After going to get the part, when he came back within like 15 minutes, he said the cost of the part was much less and reduced the charge accordingly. That is being honest. And he did a great job because my gate was also not closing right so he fixed that too. And he cleaned up after himself even though I told him that I could take care of it but he did it anyways. Thank you Roberto. Definitely highly recommend to others. Below are the before and after photos of fixing my gate. read more

See all

I have been working with Roberto for a few months now and he's one of the most dependable people I know. When he says he's going to get something done he does it - even if he has to spend the extra time to do it. His work is quality and he doesn't stop until he gets things done right. Highly highly recommend for any work you need to get done. Also very responsive and communicative... and easy on the eye too haha. read more

I rarely write reviews - I felt like I had to based on such a great experience. The job was repairing an old front grill (in front of front door) that was not only warped and needed to be pushed in for the lock to work, but also had a 30yo deadbolt lock that was double cylinder, which means that it uses keys on both sides, i.e. a major fire safety hazard. Replacing with a single cylinder deadbolt (latch on one side, keys on only one side) meant adding a security plate and mesh on the front grill to prevent reaching the latch from the outside. Last but not least, I wanted a smart deadbolt installed with the single-cylinder deadbolt housing. First, it was very difficult to get a hold of any welders - everyone is so busy. Second, a lot of welders would only install new gates, which I didn't have the budget for - and they didn't do repairs. Third, a lot of welders were only interested in large projects, so relatively small jobs were deprioritized and often ignored. I reached out to 6 services, and Roberto was 1 of 2 that got back to me and offered to help. Despite being busy and backed up, Roberto came over, inspected the front grill, and discussed the different options to resolve my issues. He offered different price points, and clearly stated what the pros and cons were for each. He was frank upfront that he didn't do paint jobs, which I appreciated. His prices were also competitive. He explained how backed up he was with projects, and that he would reach back out to me after he completed a couple of big projects. I sent him a reminder a couple of weeks later, and he found an opening, came by, and did everything I was hoping for in 2 days. Later, I had a question on something related to the grill, and he came back again and helped resolve the issue. I also loved how he explained everything, I felt like an apprentice haha. Roberto is an SF native - I was very happy to support a local business, and even happier with the outcome. read more

Roberto came to look at my broken gate the same morning that I had called him, and he completed the repair a couple of hours later. He did a very good job and it was a smooth experience. read more

We called after our front gate was pried open and they came the next day to fix it and install additional security measures, even fixing a problem that the locksmith had ignored. Our gate looks great and is much more secure now. read more

Roberto was very accommodating to service me even though he had 20 customers ahead of me. Vandals had broken into my house by cutting the mesh screen on the gate and damaging the gate and door locks. He repaired the mesh. He was professional and made suggestions on preventive measures in securing the house. He reached out and found a great locksmith for me as well. read more

Roberto came out, just a few hours after my initial request through Yelp and fixed my door quickly. He also gave advice on how to maintain it to prevent future issues from happening. He seemed very knowledgeable in security systems bolted on to the front gate, too, which was nice to be able to find a one stop shop for future solutions. All in all, he was a nice, personable guy too, which isn't as commonplace anymore. read more

On Monday I called and he actually answered where others didn't or return calls. He came to give an estimate the same day and scheduled to do the work on Wednesday to add on a mesh guard on gate, a bottom sheet guard to keep trash out of the patio and install a safety key latch with a cup guard. Excellent work, very knowledgeable, polite, wore a mask and kept me update in between arrival if any delays or questions. I'm very pleased with my gate. Found his posting on Nextdoor. read more

Roberto at the Excelsior Welding Company was amazing! He was professional, easy to communicate with, and did a great job fixing the mailbox lock on our gate! Would definitely hire him and his team again! If you're looking for an affordable, reliable welder, look no further. read more

Reliable, good people, prompt service They also can work with your budget and still give you high quality workmanship.

My 93 year old grandpa still lives in an old house in SF with lots of stairs including a few steps in the exterior of the place. There's not been a railing outside up to this point, but seeing him get frailer and shakier, I called some experts to quote getting an iron railing installed. Roberto had a competitive quote, both competitive on price but also in terms of the timeline when the job could be done which these days can be real important (since many are out 6-8 weeks or more to do work). He did a great job on the fabrication and install, my grandpa is happy and I'm happy as my gramps is safe. Similar to some of the other folks on here, I found Roberto to be responsive and keenly aware of customer service. read more

I reached out to Roberto through Yelp, and I'm so glad that I did. He responded to me quickly, and his work was flawless. He is honest, reasonable, and dependable. I recommend him highly. read more

Roberto was very professional and communicated well for my front gate issue. He was right on time and it took him 15 minutes to fix the issue. I thought I needed welding, but he applied some oil and adjusted a tab on the gate that got my gate working in no time. Incredibly cost effective and very happy I called him. read more

Incredibly responsive, able to schedule within a week of consultation. Job turned out to be cheaper than initial quote. Highly recommended for any metalwork! read more

We had to fix our external side gate. The service provided by Roberto was excellent, professional and very quick! I really recommend this company and we will hire them in the future if we would need a welding job! read more
