I gave a $4,000. deposit for a gate for my Palm Springs home in November. 5 months later the gate has not been installed. Richard has given me every excuse under the sun when he can be contacted but mostly he is unavailable and does not return calls or texts. read more

The gate is fantastic. Special design just for my home and the RC Welding team nailed it. They were quick in creating and installing and were very professional but friendly thru the entire process. The price was reasonable for the work done. I live on a golf course here in Cathedral City and the golfers compliment it often. Highly recommend Richard and his team. read more

No clue how to run a welding business. Never answers the phone. Never returns calls. Moved my business over to another shop where they pay attention to their customers. read more

I write this review after many calls to Richard about the progress of our fence for a big Hotel here in Coachella valley. After our original meeting and a rather large deposit all communications were cut off. We have yet to receive a call back or explanation of why the services were never rendered. I highly suggest avoiding this company, if they can just walk away from a large hotel with deposit in hand I would imagine they would do it to anyone. Use at your own risk read more

Incredible service. Richard answered the phone quickly. I was able to text him pics of my broken backyard gate hinge and he quoted the repair and scheduled it in less than an hour. By noon the next day the gate was fixed and hanging all repaired. I am thrilled. It was a somewhat complicated job where he needed to weld an entire side because it had all rusted away, instead of just fixing the one hinge. His team went above and beyond to make sure both hinges would be solid. They even primed and repainted it. And the price was very competitive, with quicker and easy service than the competitors offered. It's a good feeling that I'm safe at home being able to lock my backyard gate again and all in just 24hrs. Bravo read more

While traveling, we experienced some problems with our fifth wheel which needed welding. We called several places, but they were all too busy to even look at our problem for at least two weeks. I text Richard with our issues. He called and after talking came out to see for himself. The next day showed up with a helper and solved our problem. The entire time he kept us informed as to what he was doing, and why. He went above and beyond with the repairs he made. We highly recommend!! read more

Fantastic job from the beginning to the completion. Richard is friendly, professional, and does excellent work. He built a custom metal lattice for my plants to grow into and provide more security from the wild life/coyotes in the area . read more

I need a piece welded on to my truck so my tailgate would close properly. Richard was able to do it and get me on my way. What a nice guy. He understood what need to be do to fix my problem. Highly recommend him to everyone I know. read more

I am a musician and needed a small repair. I called up RC Welding and spoke directly with Richard. He was so accommodating and offered to see me on the same day! He gave great instructions on how to find the shop. When I arrived it was obvious they were working on a big project but he took the time to help me with my small job. Thank you, Richard! I really appreciate it. read more

Wow!!! I am so impressed. I accidentally ran my golf cart into a neighbor's stair and bend one of the wrought iron posts. My husband called Richard and he came out the next day. He removed the post and welded a new one on. He even primed it so all I had to do was paint it. It looks amazing. He is fast, efficient, and reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

I called this company and spoke to a man named Richard. I told him I needed two gates made and could he come by and look at the space and talk to me about options. He said fine, I can be there Monday morning after I drop off my daughter at her school that is near you. The time was between 8 - 8:30 Am. He was a no show, no call. When I called the company to find out what happened, the mail box was not taking messages. read more

Very glad I found Richard. The original bolts on our side gate that leads to the backyard and pool rusted out and snapped off from the mount making the gate unusable. I contacted Richard on a Wednesday, he came out and assessed (and quoted) the situation on Thursday and was back on Friday with a helper to modify the mount locations for the gate so that the cinderblock wall could more securely hold the gate. The things I appreciated about Richard were: his responsiveness; his high level of communication; his expertise in assessing (and resolving) the issue; his timeliness from assessment to fix (less than 24 hours); and his very reasonable price point for the repair. I would highly recommend Richard for any welding/fabrication work with regarding to metal gates. Thanks, Richard! read more

I found RC Welding & Fabrication in palm desert. I stopped in and was welcomed by Richard and another gentleman. Even with my small job they were only to nice to do it for me. I recommend them for any job. I thank you Richard, Sherry Mesa read more

I had to have a couple brackets on my golf cart repaired (welded back on, the original welds did not hold). These went to the rear step of my cart for getting into the back seat. As I all ready had taken the step and brackets off the cart I stopped by their shop. 30 minutes later I was back in my car with the brackets welded back on. Richard even added stiffeners to the steps where the brackets are welded on. even touched up the paint. Richard did a nice job at a very reasonable price. read more

I contacted RC Welding and spoke with Richard who was very helpful over the phone. I explained what I needed and we agreed to schedule service the following day. Richard and his team showed up to my home on time as promised. When Richard looked at my project, he suggested that I make a few changes which I never considered. Richards suggestions improved my projects scope immensely, so with that said, I would highly recommend Richard, his team and RC Welding to anyone searching for a competent and expert welder, gate installer and fabricator. Thank you Richard and team for the great job! I will be calling again in the near future for more projects. Great job! read more

Small things matter. If you have tall kids you know what a pain it is finding a bed in Twin XL size. So my son found a twin bed he liked and, since it had metal frame rails, we had RC Welding lengthen them by 6". Richard did it in 20 minutes late on a Friday after a long day of installing his beautiful ornate gates and doors. Perfect and fast! read more

I called this afternoon when I realized that my metal golf cart bag holder was cracked at the weld. I called RC, Richard, who answered immediately and was very responsive. He said he could fit me in today with some juggling of his appointments. He came out within two hours and welded my broken part and reinforced both it and even redid the other side bracket so they would be stronger. Great personality, great price, great service. I found him on Yelp and would definitely use him for any welding needs in the future. Thanks Richard for being so responsive so I can use my golf cart tomorrow and not have to worry about my golf clubs falling off of my cart. read more

I needed some welding done on my trailer hitch. I called RC and they had me drop it off that day. The following day, it was done at a very fair price. About 6 weeks later, I had a small project and dropped by their office. They fixed it that day. Great service and great work. I highly recommend! read more

Richard does great work and knows his materials. Good communication and shows up on time. Fair prices. What's not to like! Highly recommend.

RC Welding (Richard) repaired a 16 year old, well weathered, driveway swing gate for me. They were incredibly responsive (able to make it happen the very next day) and worked with me - as I was remote. Richard gave me informed advice and options. Great customer service, honest and reasonable cost estimates, and very timely. They know their business and what they are doing. I would recommend them without hesitation. read more

Thank you Richard. read more

Showed up on time and did excellent work.

I needed the leg of a table fixed in a hurry on a home that was closing the next day. Richard met me at his shop at 5:30 pm and had it done in 15 minutes. This was a small job that most wouldn't have bothered with. He even touched up the paint, which I wasn't expecting. Very impressed with his level of service and would recommend him highly. read more

Richard came to the rescue for my wife and I, our pool equipment was stolen and he built a beautiful cage to ensure our new equipment is safe from thieves. He completed the job ahead of schedule which brought a smile to us. I highly recommend RC welding and Fabrication! read more

Richard is THE BEST! Extremely knowlegeable, friendly and fast! The man pictures your idea and makes it happen. A turnaround the fastest I have seen in the area and for the quality, the price can't be beat. I am extremely satisfied with the gate he built us, will call him for more work very soon. The man is a perfectionist, he does whatever it takes to get the job done to your satisfaction. I have dealt with 2 other companies before who have proven very unreliable. I will only go to Richard for metal work. Have already recomended him many times through my HOA as neighbors have stopped by to compliment his work. read more

I would highly recommend Richard for any welding job you have. I had him weld a base on an 8-foot tall aluminum sculpture. He picked it up at my house, took it to his shop, brought it back and installed it in one day at a very reasonable price. read more

Spoke with Richard to give a quote to me for some entry gate repairs and he said he would come over to check it out and give me a quote. A week and a half later I still did not hear from him. I called and he was like "Oh yeah, sorry, I'll get out there". Well, he never showed up. I shouldn't have to "beg" for someone to see the issues and give me a price. If he were too busy or didn't want the job, he should have told me so in the first place, rather than waiting for him to be a "no-show" (twice!). I also noticed that his other "fabulous" reviews are from people with one or two reviews only. Seems a bit odd to me :/ read more

I used Richard to build a gate surrounding my patio. He was awesome to work with. He did everything that he promised and even went the extra mile. My husband was in an accident and we couldn't get back to the desert to meet with the HOA to get approval for our project. Richard not only met with them, but got approval and had everything installed within just a few days! His work is beautiful and how refreshing it is to work with someone with such integrity! read more

Richard installed the fence and gate for my house in indio. He completed the job on time and it came out beautiful! His price beats the other guy and the material he used was good quality. His job was also very neat and clean. I had little issue with the gate not closing properly and he came out to fix it the same day. Overall experience was great. I definitely recommend him and his company to anyone looking for this type of service. read more
