We recently moved to La Jolla and were looking for someone to replace an old metal stair rail. We…read moretook a chance with Efficient Iron Works and we are so glad we did! Paul and Isaac were great to work with from start to finish. They came out to take measurements, discussed the design we wanted and our rail was fabricated and installed in less than two weeks. We are thrilled with the look and quality. The price was very fair. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional iron/metal work.

I recently worked with Efficient Ironworks and couldn't be happier with the entire experience…read more Paul, the owner, is truly exceptional. My deck has a lot of odd angles and was a complicated project, but Paul made everything feel easy. He was extremely communicative--texted me back right away, came out immediately to give me a quote, and always answered every follow-up question I had. It was genuinely a pleasure working with him. My custom-designed railing (64 linear feet) was hot-dip galvanized and took about six weeks from start to finish. Paul recommended a matte black finish because the hot-dip process can leave slight irregularities, but it ensures the metal will never rust. He was absolutely right--the final result is stunning. The railing was installed the day before my birthday party, and we made it just in time. All of my guests and neighbors were blown away by how beautiful everything turned out. Paul is professional, reliable, and highly skilled. I would honestly ignore any one-star reviews--they do not reflect the quality of his work or service. I look forward to hiring him again in the future for a security gate and more ironwork projects. Five stars, easily.

On top of it all Mr. Long went beyond the call of duty and did not charge us (even after all those years that the gate had been installed). The work was very well done and we can only command their professionalism and the quality of the work. Thank you.

Extremely satisfied in every way possible-- phone call, in-person estimate quote visit, planning/…read morerepair options, e-mail communication, and especially THE JOB itself. We have a really nice and heavy iron gate that's old and was bent and was going off the rail all the time, making it harder and harder to open and close. Maintenance was definitely needed! We found Tyson on Yelp and called this business, as well as 3 others for quotes. Out of all, Tyson gave us the BEST SOLUTION of what to do AND also said he would paint it just to look nicer after the job was done ;). Tyson's rate was not the cheapest, but was reasonable. We chose to work with him because of his knowledge and great solution skill. Other contractors said there was no way to fix it and that we'd have to remove it all (break through concrete) and put another gate in (one of less value). After we made the decision to go with Tyson, I had to go on a business trip. I trusted him all the way to get the job done while I couldn't be present to check. Long story short-- I had to make the payment online and everything worked out nicely. When I got back from trip and saw his work, WOW, I'm so impressed and really like how the "new" gate looks. Thanks guys and look forward to doing business with you again.

I was having an issue with one of my Gates at one of my properties de Gate was three years old and…read moreever since it was put in and installed by a different company it had a mind of its own. It kept opening and closing by itself it would stop in the middle of the way and it was a very frustrating situation. I've been using one company for the last 20 years. He had come out four times charge me every single time and the next day , I had the same problem .as you can imagine I gave up on that company and thank God I found Ronnie and Yelp he came out. He did not charge me anything even though he spent an hour telling me what the problem was. coming up with a solution which was just amazing. He came in and fixed the problem and charged me half of what the other guy had charged me every time he had come out .the difference is the problem was fixed. The second time I had to get another one of my houses where the issue was similar, but not exactly the same this time a gentleman by the name of Elidad came in, and he fixed the problem, even though it took him about an hour he charge me a very fair fee and find the problem which was shockingly hard to find. Bottom line these guys know what they're doing. They're extremely honest fair and they know how to fix problems. I will be using them from here on for everything that I need. Please keep up the good work.

This was probably the cause of the front gate being hung from the wrong gate post. A stanchion, to help support a gate post was poorly fitted with coach bolts breaking the stucco surface, and, for the gates themselves, the length of the deadbolts required their faceplates to be shimmed. Communication, after fitting, was again poor but the noted items were partially corrected. Some photos follow
