Hand Crafted Metalworks

1.8

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.

I've been meaning to get to this review for Nine Iron Design for some time now as Neal helped me with a problem a months ago. I was in the process of rebuilding a 1988 Club Car golf cart and had ordered a new roof with aluminum struts. Turns out that one of the strut pieces was too large to fit under the seats and I would have had to return the complete top for a new one. This is an oversize roof and shipping it back by truck would have been my responsibility. I realized that if I could find someone to cut it down and weld it back to a smaller size, it should work. Welding aluminum is not the easiest and, luckily, I found Nine Iron using Yelp. Neal was able to handle the job with no problem. Picked it up the next day and the top went together just as I envisioned. He was also able to make some custom spacers for me that allowed the top to sit in the proper position. Thanks, Neal. Great job! read more

I was very impressed with the job Neil did on my aluminum recovery tank. I called several shops that weld and it seemed like none of them did aluminum! I was referred to Nine Iron Design by a friend. I took my tank to Neil, he looked it over, and told me in detail how he would fix the holes. He did an AWESOME job! It was ready sooner than his time estimate and the price was better than any of the quotes I had received! I highly recommend Nine Iron Designs and will continue to use them for all my welding needs. read more

Neal bailed me out of a tough situation. I had been looking for a custom piece of metal fabrication for work for weeks with zero luck. Every other company I spoke to said they didn't or couldn't make what I needed. I hadn't thought of asking a welder but I am glad I did. This particular job wasn't welding but Neal figured it out. He decided the best way to get what I needed was waterjet cutting. I saw the sample today and he nailed it. Problem solved. read more
