[Member Name Removed], I saw your review, stating that we never contacted you, but I don't see a message here on Angie's List or a phone message that you attempted to contact me. How did you contact me? This is my first bad review and I never did any work for you, or even talked to you, so I am surprised to see this.

It was a good job. It wasn't a big deal but this could have been avoided if a drop cloth had been put down. However, the gate still looks good. All and all I was satisfied with his work.
Description of Work: Greg replaced a rusted out thin bar (about 3' long) on our metal gate. He then sanded the rusty mesh on the gate and repainted it. He was fairly careful about spray painting the gate but the sidewalk also got a little sprayed and I have been unable to remove the paint.

driveway gates, welding, wrought iron
  + 1 more
After years of wear and weathering my driveway gates were badly in need of replacement. Since they are custom gates I needed to find someone who could fabricate the pieces rather than repair the existing one, and being football season I needed it done in a hurry. It was hard to find anyone who was willing to work around my schedule rather than me having to wait around wasting a day for them to come to me but just like it said, he was available "25/7" and he pleasantly accommodated my request to come after 7. He arrived punctually, early, in fact - I arrived home to find him sitting in his van parked curbside. I showed him the gate which he then gave a very thorough inspection, to not only the obvious issues but walking around it on both sides and opening and closing it. I waited to hear his (inflated) assessment of the damage and the cost to replace them but was instead quite surprised when he returned and suggested replacing and restoring just the damaged portions rather than the entire gate, which I did not even know was an option. He explained how those parts could be cut off and restored and if needed, recreated and/or replaced to perfectly match the original hardware, cutting down on both time and cost. Naturally I enthusiastically agreed to this and he then proceeded right then to perform those services both expertly and efficiently, and ultimately completed it at $7.00 UNDER his original estimate -- unreal! And as a bonus - he even removed the surface rust and replaced the rusty hinges for free.If you need any, ANY work done to any steel, metal, heck - even foil stuff around your house, don't hesitate. Call this guy. Greg. You won't be sorry. Great work AND great worker!
Description of Work: Fixed my driveway entry gates good as new and saved me a bunch of money. Great guy, great work ethic, and a SUPER job! That rare "hat trick" of a welder's skills and service. Highly recommend.

I had a dog door installed, but the outer mesh security door needed to be cut out and framed. Glen(?) called because they were going to be a little late which was fine with me. They cut the whole out of the door and welded a frame. It took a little over an hour. I had to leave before they were done, but when I check the next day, there was a slight gap on top and bottom and the mesh needed to be secured. I called Glen(?) and she was super nice and said they would come back and secure the mesh and cover the gap. It took another hour of work which she didn't charge me for and it came out EXCELLENT. This was their first dog door opening installed in a security door though she said they've made animal cages before. So, I say this was a good experience because ultimately, they did the job to my high standards with super nice service.
Description of Work: Rectangle cut and framing of of an iron mesh outer security door to accommodate a dog passage.

Prior to some other major work on our home, we needed to repair portions of a metal spiral staircase that connected our upper living area balcony to the top roof deck. The top step had separated from the roof deck and was rusted through in several places. Some of the staircase railings were also badly rusted. After a larger welding company proved unresponsive, I contacted Greg's smaller operation. He and his assistant spent a long afternoon and early evening getting our staircase back into great shape. The new step and railings look original, and he also painted them to match. We are very pleased and would recommend him to anyone needing metalwork.
Description of Work: Replacement of the top step and several railings of an exterior metal spiral staircase.

In response to your comment the member: First I would like to say I have just seen this post and it has been several months since the job was completed. I really do wish you would of contacted me directly with your concerns, I pride myself on my customer service and customer satisfactory. In regards to the pool furniture I worked on I do remember that there was an excessive amount of rust on the 15+ pieces your pool furniture it would of been much more costly to give them a brand new appearance considering the amounts of rust and deterioration that occurred naturally over the years. I know this has been several months but if there is anything I can do to satisfy please feel free to contact me anytime. Thank you. Gregs Portable Welding : )

The gate was fixed perfectly.
Description of Work: Like the two previous people who reviewed Greg. I made emergency calls to both the original gate installer and a welder that my general contractor recommended. No one even bothered to call back to say they were busy. 24 hours later I called Greg. Greg actually answered the phone and I didn't have to leave a message and wait for a call back. He said he was 15 minutes away and could come right away. He beat me to the location. I think he was there in 10 minutes because he called to say he had arrived. I first spoke to Greg to see if he was available at 3:10 by 4:00 the metal gate, which had pieces sheared away, was fixed and Greg and I were done for the day!

The company that had built the gates never responded to our call for help. I found Greg on Angie's List and called, leaving a message. He called back in a few minutes, and, when I explained the problem, said he could come out that afternoon. He arrived with all of the necessary welding equipment in the truck and made the repairs on the spot. On the phone he had estimated the job would cost $150.00 and that is what I was charged.
Description of Work: Greg repaired two pickets on our wrought iron gates that had been badly damaged by a passing truck. One was bent but still attached, the other was bent and had fallen to the ground, leaving a large enough gap to cause a security problem.

Originally I called another welder that is listed on Angies. Just as the previous reviewer warned, he was terrible about getting back to me. After a few days, I found Greg on another website and set up an appointment with him. Greg called me a few minutes before the appointed time to inform me that he was caught in traffic. As it turned out, he was only 10 minutes late. He came in, hooked up his equipment and went to work. The work was completed in less than an hour and the staircase is now totally safe. I wish all vendors were as reliable as Greg
