Services we offer
Wrought iron fencing, gates, miscellaneous metal fabrication & design.
The owner agreed that the work would be done by a specified date, but it was only completed a month late after several phone calls. The gate that was installed is excellent. For the fence, however, plastic plugs were used instead of metal ones on the hollow uprights that project above the top rail, and one of them has already broken off. If you decide to use this company, make sure you get a complete description of the materials that will be used. Also, if you intend to use the Angie's list coupon, make sure the specified discount is shown on the initial estimate. I presented the coupon after the work was done and the owner refused to honor it, claiming it was already factored into the price.
Description of Work: Took down part of a block wall and replaced it with a metal fence. Replaced a wooden gate with a metal one.

We are delighted! Hector's fabricators arrived this afternoon, two days ahead of schedule. I was surprised (and unprepared!) and had to make a quick trip to the hardware store to buy the lock and lever. They installed the gate and hardware, caulked around the edges and blocked off an additional small space on the side to keep out marauding wildlife.They even painted the caulking to match. The gate is gorgeous! Hector's men are true artists - they took my amateur drawing and created a custom gate that is even better than we had imagined. $500 felt like a lot to pay when we started, but we really got our money's worth.
Description of Work: We wanted to keep out the critters that have been eating our plants and digging up our decorative rocks. We hired Hector to build a new gate to our back yard, with metal, see-through mesh. Hector came out to discuss design, color, and our time frame. I gave him a very rough drawing of what we would like and we picked a color. He assured us that the gate would be installed by this Friday. I was to purchase the hardware and his men would install it.

The result was beyond what I had hoped for and envisioned. All work was done professionally and built to last. All parties involved were skilled. Delivery was delayed for a couple of weeks beyond the anticipated date. I believe this was due to a heavy workload.

If you want genuine quality and a very reasonable price???..you cannot go wrong with Hector. Hector is very easy to work with, he has a splendid eye for design, and does high quality workmanship. I would rank him "finest of the fine" when it comes to ironworks and real security. In a ranking of 1-10, with ten being the highest, I have no hesitation ranking Hector as an eleven.

Hector's work is beautiful, it was done promptly, and they left no mess in the yard. We had a misunderstanding about the number of gates to be done, but it was resolved quickly. We are extremely happy with the result. When we decide to splurge on a decorative door screen, we will definitely call Hector again.

Mr Corrales arrived as scheduled to give me an estimated. The price was fair for the amount of work required. Mr Corrales was able to schedule the work at a very good time for me. His people showed up and completed the work in a professional manner and left the areas they worked in clean. Hector's Ornaments is a very well run organization, I highly recommend their services to fellow Angie's List users.

Our HOA rules state that all metal screen doors must be exactly alike. Hector's Ornamental Iron Service installed the ironwork screen doors and gates for the original builder of our town-home complex several years ago. We moved into a unit without a front screen door and our HOA recommended that Hector Corrales make one for us so it would be a perfect match. We met Mr. Corrales and he came right up to give us an estimate. He took careful measurements and advised us that we would need a frame built for the doorway to hold the gate. He also said he would install handle and locks (that we would buy ourselves) for no extra charge. He was very easy to work with and stated his prices clearly. The gate was finished sooner than we had even expected and the installation was done in less than an hour. Very pleasant crew and they left the job site clean. The gate is super sturdy and looks very nice. Of course, we would have had a different design done if it was allowed but we are very happy with Hector's Ornamental Iron Service.

Hector came out same day I first called him, to give me an estimate. He is a very nice man. Once I confirmed I wanted them to do the job, they came out again to take some exact measurements. The next time they came, they installed almost all of the enclosure except for the section above the upper wood beam. I asked about that section, as Hector had told me it would be a total enclosure and I also asked about the replacement of the bedrooms wrought iron window openers. Hector said they had been unable to buy the sections that go above the wood beam, as they usually buy those, but they no longer sold them. He said he would make the sections out of wood and install them. He also said they would replace the bedroom wrought iron window openers when they returned because they did not have the rods they needed with them at the time. When they returned, they installed the sections above the wood beam and I noticed they had made them out of the perforated metal screen instead of wood, so they matched the rest of the work. That was vey nice. They also replaced the bedroom wrought iron window openers. They also painted the white caulking to match the wrought iron and that was very nice. The job is now complete and it came out very nice, we are very happy with it. We would use them again, if we ever need more wrought iron.
Description of Work: They built a wrought iron enclosure on a section of my back porch, to enclose washer/dryer area. All with perforated metal screen. Included 3 clothes lines inside the area. Also replaced 3 bedrooms wrought iron window openers to make easier to open from inside.

I do NOT thinkl Hector is familar with anythuing residential;. I called 3 pool places to get estimates after Hector started and kept dragging it out and founf, Whebever I pointed out som,They arrived the three days they worked after 10am-noon. Was never called or provided a contract, or sketches on what was intended by the contactor. He made sure I knew he was bonded and insured and the BBB gave him good comments. Everytime I had to point out something that was wrong I received numerous complaints regarding my "pushing him" On Saturday after July 4yj yjry just showed up, told me to close up dogs and they were going to finish. No call, no permission and they just walked into the yard without warning. Thankfully someone was in the backyard and ensured the gate was closed and I was then able to get the dogs in. They arrived at 11:45am and I tossed them out at 5:30 since my dogs needed to go out. I feel any commercial work woulkd be donme very well as the craftmanship of the fence was perfect. Their vision on proper placement and size was basically for commercial property not residential.
Description of Work: Originally I asked for wrought iron fence separating carports and pool area to be replaced and a fence to be erected around in-ground poo. What was erected was a maze. The inspector saw the alley had been blocked for trash, the fence was so tall it blocked the cable, and electric boxes. structure surrounding pool was completely obstructed by fence and was feet too large. I was told by one worker this is city code, but not for residential at all according to inspector. It took Hector almost one month to place a small fence around pool and 2 stretches of fence approximately 8 feet long total. They had to tear the original maze down low and shorten the pool fence I had to keep all my dogs in my rescue locked up because the workers would show up whenever. if at all. Never a call and they constantly left messes behind they did not clean up, put items they moved d killed one tree by leaning patio chairs and trash cans against the palm tree that was new.. The one gentleman constantly messed up my pool pump so my pool cleaner would not work.

He was very straightforward and he delivered what he promised. He and his crew were very pleasant to work with and professional. I will try to upload some photos of the work but I don't see on this page where to upload them, perhaps it must be posted first. We have already contracted him to work on a decorative/privacy/noise reducing fence in the front yard. We came to him with an idea and he helped us to make it better. He is creative. I will write that review when the job is completed.
Description of Work: Hector built and installed a large privacy covered double gate, fence extension and a block off part on the front where the gate was not. Also, he knocked down a wall and small gate, and hauled off the debris. The work is beautiful, well done and the gate works perfectly. The fence extension matches the fence/gate in the back yard, even the spikes on top, which we wanted. Our home (1958) is a model home for the area and had large gates and fencing in the back with spikes on top that fit the era. We were pleasantly surprised that he could match the original so well. His price for the work was reasonable given the quality of the work. We had three bids on the job and Hector had the most creative and space utilizing ideas. Hector is honest, straightforward, and does excellent work. He carries a book with photos, which helped us to determine the style of privacy we wanted. A very pleasant experience.

We called Hector's Ornamental Iron to quote on the construction of 50 feet of steel deck railing for a wooden deck we were renovating. Hector Corrales, the owner, came to our house as promised a couple of days after the initial call and arrived at the promised time. We discussed our needs and desires and Hector showed us numerous photos of options to consider from previous jobs and lead us through the selection making sure we were following all required building codes. After selecting the style and size of the railing we wanted, Hector quoted a very fair and reasonable price and told us his lead time was currently about 3 weeks. We told him his price was fine but we needed the work completed prior to the suggested 3 weeks. He agreed with the earlier completion date we suggested and gave us a written quote which we accepted and gave him a 50% deposit. As a next step Hector said he would come back the following week with his shop fabricator to review the work and take final measurements for fabrication. Hector and his fabricator came back when promised, calling to confirm prior their arrival time. Measurements and details of the job were documented and then we asked Hector to quote on two additional decorative steel gates for the front entrance to our home.. We again selected a design with Hectors suggestions and Hector quoted a competitive price and said he would give us an additional discount since we were already doing business with him. His price was again very competitive and we gave him an additional deposit on the new work. We did not expect delivery to be at the same time as the railing but Hector said they would make it happen at the e same time. The day before the promised installation Hector called to confirm his crew would be there the following morning. A three man installation crew arrived on time and immediately got to work. Installation took a total of roughly 4 hours. The only problems encounter with the the job were a couple of fabrication mistakes requiring filed modification by the installation crew which was done to our satisfaction. The crew was very committed to doing a good job and making sure we were satisfied. Hector also called during the installation to ask how everything was going and said he would come out if we wanted him to. We declined his offer and told him was doing fine. Installation was completed and the crew cleaned up the job site. The crew documented the completed job with a few photos and was obviously happy and proud of their work. I have two more gates that need to be fabricated and told the crew i would be calling Hector back to quote on the additional work and would see them soon.

Hector came out, looked over what we wanted, and gave us the estimate on the spot. He was very clear about what he could and couldn't promise. After receiving other bids, we felt that Hector's approach made us feel confident about placing the order with him. He came back to show us designs we might like, and after settling on what we wanted, he committed to a delivery date subject to weather. He was prompt in delivering the product, and very apologetic when it turned out that a piece of the order was on nackorder from a supplier. He returned with the missing piece two days later. We were very pleased with the result, and in how Hector dealt with us. We would definitely recommend him.
Description of Work: Hector built and installed a large custom trellis, a large double gate, and a single gate. The work is beautiful and well executed. He was very straightforward from beginning to end, and we got what he promised, plus a little extra. He and his crew are very pleasant to work with and very professional. He was neither the cheapest nor the most expensive bid we got, but he convinced us that the quality of the work was worth it, and he proved himself right. I cannot say enough good about Hector - he is honest, straightforward, and does excellent work. will definitely use him again.

He was very personable and very helpful. They did a really nice job. My only complaint was he did not give me a written receipt. I went ahead and I wrote out one because his workers came out, he didn’t. I had the workers sign it. The work was nice. They didn’t leave a mess so I have no complaints about the work. I didn’t get the receipt and I think that is important. They are the only ones who showed up to give me an estimate.

Hector was very professional. He was the only one of 3 candidates who showed up with a picture catalog of finished projects. I removed the old fence and Hectors group installed a new square channel metal frame complete with walk and drive thru gates. Initially we had a miscommunication on the location of the drive gate, but to his credit he had his crew relocate it to the correct location. His instructions were "make it right, do what the customer wants.". His crew was also great. They showed up when the said, cleaned up after themselves and kept me informed on the status of the project. I WILL HIRE THEM AGAIN.....

They seemed like a very good company. I can?t judge their work since I didn?t get any work done by them. I didn?t have any problems with them. They seemed very straightforward and honest. I went to their shop and they have a nice shop. They are very professional too. The price was comparable with other companies. I would probably use their services in the future.
