And he cleaned up the mess when a tree fell on my neighbor's garage. Each time, Nick has done a great job. He is so hard-working I am amazed. His clean-up is so thorough and complete! He always does a better job than I can even imagine and the prices seem super reasonable. He is also flexible and does the work as you request it. I have also used two other waste removal services in the last six years but Nick is by far my favorite. He is a better value, incredibly easy to work with, and works harder to get the job done. I give him an A+. The best in Santa Rosa!

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with Reliable Hardware and Steel was beyond disappointing…read morefrom start to finish. In February 2026, I came in and met with William about building custom standing marquee frames for my business. He drew up plans and told me they could make adjustable frames that would hold my marquee letters and numbers. After several days with no follow-up, I had to repeatedly call and leave messages before someone finally called back and apologized. I returned to the shop and William admitted he had forgotten about the project and had misplaced the original drawings. We went over everything again from scratch, and he even brought in another senior welder to discuss ideas and create a mock-up to make sure the final product would work correctly. I made it extremely clear that these frames were needed for booked events, including the Sonoma County Cheese Festival on March 21st. I was assured multiple times that the project would be completed in time. I was also told the work should only take a few hours plus material prep, so the pricing discussion sounded reasonable at first. At their request, I brought in my marquee numbers so they could properly mock up the frame and ensure everything fit correctly. After dropping them off, communication once again completely disappeared. I called multiple times trying to get updates and eventually stopped expecting responses because of how poorly communication had already gone. Over a month later, long after the deadline had passed and after I had already been forced to look for other solutions for my clients, they finally called me to come see the frame. The frame itself was rusty, had water inside it, and the quoted price ended up being around $1,150 for ONE frame -- far higher than what had originally been discussed. What upset me even more was the condition of my marquee numbers when they returned them. They were dropped off in excellent condition, freshly painted, and barely used. When I got them back, they were filthy, stained, covered in rust residue, and appeared to have been left sitting in water. The wooden bases were compromised and now require repairs and repainting before I can even rent them out again. As a small business owner, this cost me time, money, missed opportunities, and damage to equipment I worked hard to build. To make things worse, after I declined the frame because of the condition and pricing, the interaction became hostile. Instead of handling the situation professionally, I was told to "get the fuck out of my shop," followed by additional insults from management. The lack of communication, missed deadlines, poor care of customer property, and unprofessional behavior made this one of the worst business experiences I've had.

Not long after figuring that out I figured out that my promised wages were never actually going to get to me! After my second week I asked him for a paycheck multiple times and NEVER got ONE check for my labors. I stayed for over a Month before I just bailed. While I was there I also had the chance to see him "in-action". What a goofball. He screwed up 2 separate orders AND overcharged a local neighbor for some left-over scrap.
