    Courtyard gate
    Jennifer B.

    Placido Ulloa is an artist, with expert craftsmanship. He did an RV gate and two courtyard gates for us. They far exceeded our expectations in quality and beauty. Our home is a showpiece on our street with these new gates installed. I would highly recommend this company. If you are having difficulty contacting a gate company like we did or scheduling appointments with people who don't show up, look no further. They were quickly responsive to our online request for an appointment, and his pricing is fair.

    Beautiful Craftsmanship

    Needed 3 gates made for our house! Contacted a few people, and ended up goin with Placido at Ulloa Ornamental. Took a while to finally get cuz they are so busy, but I have to say it was worth the wait!!!!! We absolute LOVE our new gates. Placido is amazing and has a God Gift with wrought iron. Thanks again

    Awesome work done by ulloa.   Highly recommended !!

    I had a great experience with these guys. They were professional and trustworthy. All I needed/wanted was a new gate. Because it was a smaller project I searched for weeks for someone to accept the job. These guys came thru and saved the day. Great quality and craftsmanship. Thanks!!

    I can't say enough good things about this company. They built me an amazingly beautiful gate and was able to get it done for me a week before my deadline. Great customer service with the highest quality workmanship. I'd recommend them to anyone needing wrought iron work.

    I ordered a gate back in November it did take some time but the work is awesome the quality is great customer service is good don't hesitate give them a call.

    We had a gate built for our driveway. We wanted something different and unique. The craftsmanship is excellent and we are pleased with the results

    After putting up a wall and on to our next project to install a wrought iron gate, there seemed to be only a select few in the art of wrought iron gates in my search and we found Placido. He is a kind and gentle man. Let him show you his portfolio of pictures of his work. He has quite a history. And he does the greatest thing of sketching out your gate right in front of you so you know exactly what you will be getting. Ours was an arched gate with detail and backside steel. Bring a picture when you meet Placido. That will be helpful. The gates are 6 weeks to manufacturer. His price was very reasonable. Placido did everything he said he would do. He even included patching up the concrete from the original post. I would highly recommend contacting Placido for your wrought iron needs.

    Placido did a fantastic job. Very reasonable. Workmanship was detailed and exactly what we wanted. Trustworthy! Doesn't try to upsell you. Definitely recommend you call for a bid.

    It's been over a year now since my initial install and I want to 1) update on the quality of the…read moreproduct, and 2) update on the service the Hicks team has provided. First off: we love our custom door, it continues to be a highlight of our home (super important making a great impression as people enter). It swings easily and is super stable. Recently the bolt holding the door frame to the wall came loose (likely from a mix of daily use and our shifting soils here in San Clemente). Not entirely surprising that there'd be some "settling in" given that it's a fairly massive completely custom door - but still, it had been over a year since the Hicks team finished the job. I emailed and asked: is this sort of thing covered? Well... Myke came out personally and spent the better part of two hours fixing the issue - not only thoroughly reinforcing the door frame but also upgrading the other side of the frame with a new customer stopper to increase security but also improve the operation of the door. It's been almost 18 months since install and Myke came out free of charge. Went well above and beyond and shook my hand and wished me well. If you think "good people doing good work" is hard to find... I hope you find this review, and give Myke Hicks a call.

    Good finished work, but this experience changed my opinion significantly…read more TL;DR: I previously gave Hicks 5 stars after our first project, and they still feature that review on their website. We hired them again and have now spent tens of thousands of dollars with them. Both pergolas look very good. On this second project, Hicks chose to handle an unexpected sprinkler conflict rather than have me bring someone else in, the repair failed, and it appears they never performed the basic test to make sure it worked. When I raised it, the owner became hostile, insulted me, and hung up on me. I later gave Hicks a written opportunity to inspect or fix it before anyone else touched the repair and received no response. That experience changed my opinion of the company significantly. I hired Hicks again because our first project had been a genuinely good experience. Across both jobs we had worked through material and scheduling delays, possible conflicts with power lines and solar panels, and changes involving the patio flooring without major problems. Both finished pergolas look very good. The sprinkler issue came up immediately before excavation. Nothing in the estimate or our earlier discussions gave me reason to think the footings would extend outside the existing concrete patio and into the grass. I first realized that when I saw the red excavation markings and noticed they conflicted with a sprinkler head and the line serving other heads. I raised it immediately. Since the contract says Hicks is not responsible for sprinkler routes, placement, or repairs, I specifically offered to coordinate and pay for someone else to handle it. Hicks told me that was unnecessary, that they had the fittings they needed, and that their crew would cut, move, and reconnect the line. I took that as a professional courtesy and relied on what they told me. While they were excavating, I also offered to turn the sprinkler zone on remotely from my phone so they could test the repair. They did not take me up on it. Since the system is easy to activate in person, I assumed they would simply test it themselves. Project delays had compressed the schedule, and we were rushing to finish the walkthrough and final payment before I left on a business trip the next day. We carefully checked the pergola itself, which looked good, but forgot the sprinklers. A day or two later, while traveling, I realized we had missed that check. I activated the zone remotely and could see through my backyard camera that something looked wrong. Rather than bother Hicks based only on a remote view, I waited until I got home to verify it. Several heads that were clearly working immediately before excavation no longer worked, and a substantial amount of water was leaking beside the new installation. The zone was effectively unusable for around two weeks, and parts of the lawn it normally waters developed obvious dead and brown patches. Hicks later acknowledged in writing that "a fitting must've came loose" and that perhaps there had not been enough glue. The repair itself is not what turned this into such a big issue for me. The way it was handled did. During about a five-minute phone call, the owner got heated and defensive, used foul language, called me names, spoke disrespectfully, and hung up on me. He later told me that I "don't know how this works" and that he was not going to read my written explanation. This was completely unlike anything I had experienced with Hicks before. After that, I sent a written notice giving Hicks an opportunity to inspect or arrange to fix the problem before anyone else touched it. I got no response. After the deadline passed, I had the area excavated and repaired. The sprinkler pipe was physically separated at a connection in the area of the leak, which I documented with photos. The system is now working again. What bothers me most is that Hicks chose to take on the sprinkler work, apparently did not do the most basic test afterward, and then treated me this way when I raised the problem. That is especially disappointing because they previously handled a warranty issue very well. A few months after our first pergola was installed, the integrated lighting controller failed after apparently getting water in it. Hicks came back promptly and fixed it at no charge, which increased my confidence in using them again. Both pergolas look very good and Hicks deserves credit for that. But part of hiring a contractor is trusting how they handle problems after final payment. After this experience, I no longer feel comfortable recommending Hicks, I am concerned about relying on them for potential future warranty work, and I would not hire them again unless this is made right. That is why I am updating my previous 5-star review to 2 stars. I will update this review again if and when the situation is resolved. EDIT: Not a warranty claim. I offered to hire a pro; Hicks chose to do the repair, so they still had to use reasonable care.
