I highly recommend Carlos and Reyes Ornamental Iron for any interior or exterior iron work. I first…read moreworked with Carlos and his team during a home renovation in Laguna Niguel. They fabricated a balcony railing, two side-yard gates, and two gates for a dog-run enclosure. The quality of the work was exceptional--from the high-quality materials and beautiful craftsmanship, to the flawless painted finish. I provided Carlos with a few inspiration images and an explanation of what I wanted. He returned drawings for my approval, and every piece turned out exactly as I had envisioned. His pricing was very fair, and both the fabrication and installation were completed quickly. After recently moving to a new home and adding a balcony, I contacted Carlos again because I had been so pleased with his previous work. Once again, the railing was completed promptly and beautifully. I chose a very simple design for this project, but I have also seen Carlos's more ornate work, and he is exceptionally talented. Carlos is professional, responsive, and committed to delivering outstanding results. I would not hesitate to work with him again and enthusiastically recommend Reyes Ornamental Iron to anyone looking for beautiful, well-crafted ironwork at a fair price.

I had a very disappointing experience with Hand Crafted Metalworks…read more From the beginning, I was extremely clear about what I wanted. I provided a reference photo on the very first day and made it known that I am very detail-oriented, especially because this was a major custom staircase railing project costing around $20,000. I wanted the finished product to closely match the design, proportions, style, and overall look of the reference photo. Unfortunately, the process became frustrating and confusing. Instead of feeling like my vision was being understood and executed, I repeatedly felt like the design was being scaled back, reinterpreted, or changed from what I had originally requested. Multiple revisions were needed because key details were not reflected properly, including how the railings were supposed to continue down the lower steps and terminate at the bottom. One major issue was that the shop drawings showed a rectangular/square wood cap, even though the reference photo I provided showed a round wood handrail. That was a major design difference, not a small detail. For a custom project of this size, I expected the drawings to accurately reflect the design direction I had communicated from the start. Another major frustration was the coordination process. I hired Hand Crafted Metalworks expecting them to manage the project. Instead, I felt like I was being put in the middle between their metal team and their wood subcontractor. I was connected directly with the wood subcontractor, who appeared to be unaware of important details, including that the wood was already part of the original quote. At one point, it felt like I was being asked to coordinate or clarify things that should have been handled internally by the contractor. There was also confusion around the timeline. A timeline that had been discussed as approximately six weeks later appeared to become September, which was a significant difference. When I asked for clarification, the conversation became defensive instead of simply explaining the scheduling change. Overall, my frustration is not just about one isolated issue. It is about the entire process: repeated miscommunication, inaccurate design assumptions, unclear subcontractor coordination, changing expectations, and a feeling that I had to keep fighting to preserve the original design vision I clearly communicated from day one. For a high-end custom project, I expected a much smoother and more professional process. Instead, I felt like I had to constantly correct, clarify, and manage details that should have been understood and handled by the company. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company. I'd post only after the credit card dispute is filed, not before, and keep screenshots/emails organized in case they respond publicly.

Our experience with this company was extremely frustrating. After paying our deposit, the project…read morewas ridden with missed appointments, poor communication, and repeated mistakes. Our primary point of contact, Chris, was responsible for coordinating the project, yet we frequently had to make multiple calls just to get updates or receive a response. On one occasion, workers arrived at our home, informed us they needed to leave to purchase materials, and then never returned that day. The problems extended far beyond scheduling. The initial measurements taken for our custom railings were inaccurate, resulting in the wrong product being fabricated. When installation day finally arrived, the wrong order was delivered. We were assured the mistakes would be corrected, only for another incorrect order to arrive later. The same crew was repeatedly sent back to address the issues, yet the problems remained unresolved. The quality of the installation itself was also concerning. The railings were improperly installed, caused damage to our walls and floors, and portions of the installation began pulling away from the wall within a month. Given that stair railings are a safety feature, this was particularly alarming and further diminished our confidence in the company's workmanship. What should have been a straightforward project turned into months of delays, repeated errors, broken promises, and constant follow-up on our part. We were repeatedly given timelines and assurances that were never honored, and obtaining updates often required persistent phone calls. The most disappointing part was not the mistakes themselves, but the lack of accountability and follow-through. Every issue seemed to require multiple calls and reminders, yet meaningful resolution never came. After months of frustration, we ultimately canceled the contract because we no longer trusted that the project would be completed correctly or safely. Mistakes can happen in any business, but professionalism is measured by how those mistakes are handled. Unfortunately, between the inaccurate measurements, incorrect fabrication, poor installation, wall damage, communication issues, missed appointments, and failure to stand behind the work, our experience was extremely disappointing. I cannot recommend this company.

Another fine craftsman, found on Yelp!…read more I found GoFab when searching for machine shops and metal fabricators on Yelp. The reviews looked great, so I did my usual armchair vetting by checking the reviews on Fakespot.com, a website that verifies the legitimacy of user reviews. GoFab is rated "Grade A"! I wanted to replace an automated front door lock with a newer wireless model. The only problem was that the newer lock face plate is smaller than the old one. This would leave exposed screw holes in our door which would be obvious, even if patched. I needed a custom decorative plate to cover the old holes. I stopped by GoFab and met Jason, a surprisingly young man for being proprietor of such an advanced shop. He instantly understood what I wanted. Within two days he emailed me a detailed shop drawing of my piece. It was exciting to see my idea one step closer to reality! I should mention that this was a bit of a rush job which Jason finished for me in ample time. The finished product is beautiful and fully serves its purpose, the cost was reasonable and Jason is an exceptionally nice person. I am happy to recommend GoFab and to add my 5-Star review to their growing list of perfect reviews.

Other than that, it was beautiful! I would definitely commission Jason for future products. I have been recommending him to some friends as well. If you have a project, you should ask him for a quote!!
