I had two wooden manual gates that I constantly had to open, and I reached the point where I was…read morecompletely tired of doing it by hand. I decided to find a few vendors to install automatic gates for me, and I knew I wanted aluminum because it is much lighter and requires far less maintenance. I always have my assistant contact at least three vendors to compare pricing and to get a sense of whether they are truly knowledgeable. My assistant found two of the vendors and I gave her the information for IRON MEN gates to schedule the appointment. From the moment Elad came out on day one, I was extremely impressed. He has a genuine, down-to-earth personality, and he was serious, professional and clearly knowledgeable about every aspect of the project - exactly what I wanted to accomplish with my gate. The other vendors were much more focused on sales and pitching, rather than taking the time during the initial walkthrough to thoroughly review what I wanted. Elad's proposal was also significantly better in quality and detail. The turnaround time was fast, and it included clear drawings and detailed information about what would be done--something I had not seen from any other vendor I've hired for work around my house. At that point, I knew I wanted to move forward with them. There was some negotiation on pricing, but ultimately I felt the final cost was absolutely worth it. Once I signed the proposal, everything went into motion immediately. They ordered the materials and maintained strong communication throughout the entire process. Elad responded quickly whenever I reached out, and when questions or concern came up, he always had solutions and worked with me. I also had several change orders. They were very patient and accommodating, and importantly, they handled my requests without delaying the completion date by an additional month (which is common with many vendors). They were able to schedule everything effectively and still complete my gates with minimal delays. Every team member who came out -- electrician, the two smooth stucco pillars crew, and the aluminum gate installation team -- was professional, polite, and respectful. Construction projects are stressful by nature, but they were genuinely the easiest vendor I have ever worked with. The best part is that my aluminum gates look incredible. Everyone who passes by my home has commented on how good they look. I have only left a few reviews in my lifetime, and I rarely do unless a vendor truly exceeds expectations. I am very particular and somewhat of a perfectionist, so it was not easy for me to find someone I considered exceptional --but this was absolutely one of those cases. Elad listened carefully to what I wanted to create and brought it to life. They completely out-shined, out-performed, and out-classed them all. I am a very happy customer and will definitely be a returning customer!!!

Ok, this is the place to go for Iron Gate Repair! They were easy to work with. They came out,…read morewent thru my entire property with me to look at the places where there was rust and missing parts and instead of recommending that I replace the whole gate for 10x the money, they repaired all I needed for a very fair and reasonable price. Then they actually did all the work and it looks great. I'm so happy with a company that isn't trying to make their payroll for the month out of my job, but will just do the simple repairs I needed. Way to go Iron Men!

I could not believe the ridiculously rude behavior of Dave (owner of Rich Sheet Metal Works). When…read moreI arrived there was one other worker besides Dave doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Literally there were no customers in the shop and they were not working/fabricating ANYTHING. My intent in going there was to gather ideas / put a game plan together for fabricating and welding a steel rod piece that I needed for some furniture. Then after discussing what needed to be done, it was my intent to hire them to weld my parts together. DAVE was very curt and rude. Every time I opened my mouth to speak he cut me off shouting "IT DOESN'T MATTER, it doesn't matter!!". I felt like I was being scolded and I've just walked in to the place. Literally, he would not even let me show him a picture of the product or finish my sentences. He acted like he couldn't be bothered with such a trivial request and was highly annoyed that I would have the audacity to take time out of his day to try and research my project by speaking to welders more experienced in fabrication than I am. I might understand his protestations if they were really busy (there's just no justification) however they were just standing around doing nothing! I guess I interrupted Dave from taking out a box of opened envelopes to the trash which is the only thing he was doing when I tried to greet him. He was rude and irritated from the second I said hello with a smile. I cannot believe the attitude of some business owners who act like they're doing you a favor by letting you come to their place of business to procure work for them. He just did not want to be bothered and spouted off something to the effect of "I can't fabricate this part because it's proprietary!!!".... Huh....? What on earth are you even talking about??? The piece is not proprietary, it's basically a brass stud. I found one that works perfectly on Amazon for $7. Then he started whining about he doesn't have a hollow steel rod and couldn't fabricate one and that even if he could fabricate one it would be the wrong color blah blah blah....not even letting me finish my sentence to TELL HIM that I ALEADY HAD the steel rod in the right color (also purchased on amazon for $9.89)!!! All I was trying to do was hire a "welder" which incidentally Dave is...to weld the two parts (I ALREADY HAD) together. I would've gladly paid for the time spent as the materials were already purchased and in the mail. I couldn't relate ANY OF THIS to him because he wouldn't let me speak. He just kept barking over me until literally I was so disgusted I walked out. I went to several welders that day and told them the story of my interaction with Dave. They all said the same thing..."I've heard he's a capable welder but very hard to work with." Amen to that... I urge potential customers to go ANYWHERE but here. You know you're in the wrong place when you come to a place of business and the first thing you get is a crusty scowl instead of a smile and a hearty "how can I help?".

I called H Ironworks and spoke with Kevin about fabricating a custom steel cable tension brace to support a shade sail spanning about 35 feet.

About a week later they returned for a test fit, and everything lined up perfectly. The following week they brought it back powder coated, and I couldn't have been happier. The workmanship was outstanding--beautiful finish, clean welds, and it looked like it had always belonged there. Just as important, Kevin and Hamlet are genuinely nice people. They're easy to work with, communicate well, show up when they say they will, and clearly take pride in what they do. I would recommend H Ironworks without a second thought. Five stars all the way.

I had Jon create a metal words-on-metal art piece for a gift about 2 years ago. He did a decent…read morejob...albiet quite gruff during our transactions. Today, I reached out to him with a top-line design of a piece I wanted fabricated . Jon answered the phone and was short, unkind and really mean, in fact he was downright rude. He told me to text him my design which I did. About two-hours later I recieved a rude text telling me he was "Passing due to too many details and that the piece would cost $1500". Ironically - $1500 is what I expected to pay. So, he tells me he's passing THEN says it'll cost $1500? Which is it Jon? Neeedless to say, I found another metal fabricator within an hour and the owner was absolutly a joy to talk to. He responded that he loved my design and would be able to fabricate it for about $500.00. So... in all honesty, if you are looking for simple words on a slab of metal and a horrible attitude - Jon may be your guy. If you are looking for someone who is collabrative, kind in execution, positive spirit, thinks out of the box - you might be better served not using tVenice Metal Worxx. Frankly, I have a really bad taste in my mouth and was quite saddened by the experience. I do NOT recommend!
