RUBIO'S ORNAMENTAL IRON

They came out and did the necessary measurements and gave me a time as to when it would be completed. I had requested that the fencing be white instead of the black that most people have. They did a beautiful job and the cost was much less than other suppliers. They were very courteous and efficient. I am extremely happy with the job they did.

Albert Rubio (owner) took a personal interest in working with us from the beginning to be sure our plan for a gate was produced exactly the way we wanted. He designed what we wanted after we gave him a photo of a gate that we found on the internet. His price estimate was exactly what it turned out to be. Exactly!! He took a modest deposit from us and nothing else was due until the project was complete. Rubio's gave us receipts for everything, installed everything and finished everything properly. His suggestion to us that we have the gates "powder coated" instead of just painted was wonderful. There were a couple of mistakes with the final touch up painting. Albert Rubio came to our home to inspect, removed the gates, took them back to his workshop and had everything fixed properly. Brought the gates back and reinstalled them. It is human nature that sometimes things aren't perfect, but Mr. Rubio made them perfect I would not hesitate to recommend Rubio's Welding to anyone for work of this type that they done. Next year our landscaping plans will require us to again have another gate fabricated. Rubio's Welding is where we will go! *************JUNE 1, 2014 UPDATE************************************** Our gate became damaged when the wind blew it off the hinges. This gate, being custom fabricated and designed is now bent and will not close properly leaving our yard and pets unsecured. I contact Albert Rubio, owner of Rubio's Welding to tell him of the issue and ask him to repair the gate. He said he would. I also asked Albert Rubio to fabricate 8 customer steel screen grates to fit over the drain blocks in our masonry privacy fence in our yard. He agreed to do that work as well. Eight weeks went by and I had not heard from Albert Rubio. I called him and he said he would come to our house the next day to pick up the gate so he could perform repairs. Again, he was a no-show and did not call me either. I called him again. He said he was sorry and would come to our house the next day. Again, a no-show. This process repeated again the following day. I went to see Albert Rubio at his shop to inquire as to why he had not picked up our gate to being repairs. He said he is too busy and will not repair it! I asked him about the custom screen order that he had for 8 weeks. He said he was too busy to get to it. I offered to pay him cash, up front for the repairs and the customer screen order. He said, "NO, I will not do the work! I am too busy. I told him that there are no other metal fabricators in our small community and that he was the designer and manufacturer of our gates just 8 months previously. He said, "I don't care, I don't want to be involved. I'm too busy, go somewhere else!" Long story short, I have gone somewhere else. I would not ever utilize the services of Rubio's Metal Fabrication again. He will not even service his own product. I was completely willing to pay in Cash, in advance and that didn't make any difference to him. He became adamant, arbitrary and very angry that I would come to him for repair, which is the type of work he does. He will not service his own product! No one needs to get caught in that trap.

The fence was never welded or assembled, took $700.00 from me gave me a receipt for the amount. The owner Arturo Rubio, claimed I changed my mind on dimensions and paint color, so he was not able to perform the job paid for. First of all he asked for $500.00 cash and a check for $200.00,that seemed fishy. I approached him on June21,2013 and informed him I would take him to court. His reply I would not get anything from him, if I didn't take him to court he would finish the job by the weekend of June 23rd and install the fence on June 25,2013. As to date no work has been performed and he continues to claim I took the paint from his shop and changed my mind to many times. I do not recommend anyone to use this company, he'll come up with excuses and continue to blame the individual for why he can't complete the job.I'am taking him to court.
