I have been meaning to write a review from the day the project completed but never got around to…read moreit. I am glad I was late to writing it. It started of as a 5-star experience and now it has become a 1-star and costly experience. JJ did a great job building the metal fence and guard rail and installing it. We were very happy with the work and told a few of our friends as well. Just less than a year into the installation, the fence started to rust. The paint started to peel off. A year into it, we hired another painter and he patched all the rusting locations and repainted the fence. It is little over 2 years now and it only has gotten worse. The fence is rusting in so many places that we have no choice to be hire a metal painter to remove the rust and repaint it. I heard this is going to be a costly job. As I am researching rust removal techniques, I am reading that we should apply a primer before painting it. If I remember clearly, JJ never seemed to have used a primer and that may be the reason that the paint on the fence and guard rails did not last even a year. We have guard rails in our balcony that came with the house and they have withstood the fog, rain and sun of the Berkeley weather. Even after 10 years, there is no sign of rusting.

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.

The not so good?!?! Older fella came out and he didn't seem too happy to be here. He also had a hard time conveying any design ideas and requirements clearly. He had Hispanic accent which I am no stranger too. (I've worked and managed hundreds of Hispanic folk over the years) We finally came to some design and construction details but I felt like I was given a take it or leave it handrail solution. He didn't offer any other constructive solutions unlike another company I was also trying to get a quote from He did throw a price out there before leaving. So with that rough start I decided not to work any further with them. Too bad Oh well. I give them 3 stars for just not putting the best foot forward?

They did not fix it. They also made hand rails for my stairs and that was another disaster. The railings had three code violations. I made the mistake of paying them the same day, I should have had my contractor review their work before i paid them. To top it all off the paint on my gate is corroded after three months. I ended up hiring a different iron company to make me new hand rails. Terrible quality, low price, I will never use them again.

Found Colonial Ornamental Ironworks here in Yelp but didn't contact them right away given low…read morenumber of reviews and photos. Contacted other ironworking companies and a couple did not even respond. So I ended up contacting them and spoke to Eduardo. Very pleasant and quick response to schedule a visit to review our requirements. He is one of the sons that now run the business his parents built. Easy to tell they are proud of the work they do and will take care of their customers. I think I knew they would be top notch and would do a great job on our first meeting. No hard sell, no belittling the customer, no promising the moon. Just knowledge and flexibility to provide the metal work we were looking for. Our stairs were a bit awkward so we needed to customize the railing which was not a problem. Eduardo listened and offered solutions that worked for us. They bring samples and photos in their truck so option selections are easy. (Unlike another vendor who had none) Communication with Eduardo is great. Typically he responds to emails the next day when he gets into the office. Always polite and accommodating. Made the process seamless! Kept us in the loop as the job progresses. To be honest, I thought their price would be high given the caliber of the work they show in their portfolio. But they were in the same ballpark as the other vendors I got quotes from. I told my wife I want to work with them and so we did. Once we were in contract they (Eduardo) comes out and takes full measurements before fabrication begins. They mockup the railing and will bring it out to check fit before doing final welding and fabrication. You can see it in this early stage and if changes are needed that can be done. They then will hot dip galvanize the metal and apply either paint or a powder coat finish depending on your choice. All this happened in a 2-3 week window which worked for us. The hand rails are installed now (by Eduardo's brother Alfonso and a helper) and we are extremely happy with the results. It only took an hour or so to install. Some paint touch ups were required which they took care of. Please contact them if you need any metal ironwork.
