Iron Designs by Oscar Duran

I was never contacted by them!

Amazing!! Oscar quickly responded and was able to fix the latch right away. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely use his services in the future and would refer him to everyone we know.

Crew came in and took down gate. Took gate to their shop for the work and came back 1 week later to reinstall. They were professional and punctual. Very satisfied with the work and very fair price.

He did a very good job repairing the gate. His work was excellent and at a fair price. This was the second time I have used his services and I was equally satisfied with his work on both occassions.

Oscar was fast, efficient and really seemed to know what he was doing. He was pleasant and friendly. And, he even did more than what the job required.

Failed to show up for 1st appointment

I don't know because I never got a response.

I don't know, I never heard from this service provider.

Mr. Oscar Duran came out to give me an estimate on removing all the spikes/spears from my fence, as requested by the city I live in. He was very professional and very understanding of my situation. He gave me a very fair estimate. We agreed on a time, and his worker came right on time to do the work. The work was completed and it looks very nice. I was very pleased. I would recommend Iron Works, and Oscar Duran. I would gladly use Iron Works again.

He called when he was going to be late. He managed to make my gate in a few days. I would highly recommend him.

He was clean and came when he said he will be here. He is knowledgeable and gave a lot of information about our hand rails. He did an excellent job matching them.

I called Oscar Duran to do some wrought iron work which included a railing and 3 gates. He came out promptly and spent over two hours discussing the job. He was very personable and easy to work with. He wrote out a proposal that was accepted. I gave him a $900 deposit. The job was suppose to be completed in 4 weeks. When I hadn't heard from him in three weeks I called him. He said he had to let one of his helper go so he was having problems completing his jobs. Because I had invested time and money into this project I gave him some more time. After another couple of weeks I called him again . Again I was given more excuses as for why he hadn't come to install the work. He did promise to be out the next week but called the day before to say he still wasn't ready and to set another appointment for the following week. Again he called the day before to say he was having problems completing some of the work and he would be out the following week. It was then that I cancelled the job. It had been nine weeks and I had nothing to show for it. He promised to return my deposit but it has been five weeks and all he has given me is more excuses.

My reason for contacting Oscar was because we have wrought iron fencing around our house. Oscar arrived at the scheduled time for his appraisal appointment. We have a siberian husky and he has a tendency to put his front feet on the space between the spikes and we were concerned that he might one day slip and hurt himself. My purpose was to have Oscar place a screen about half way up the gate, so that would keep our dog from injuring himself. I contacted Oscar during the week of February 10th, 2014 and scheduled an appointment for him to come out and look at the work I would like to have done and give me an estimate. We arranged for him to come to our home on February 15, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. Oscar showed up exactly on time, maybe even a couple minutes earlier. I pointed out to him what I was thinking about having done, and he suggested that rather than put up a screen to protect the dog from injuring himself on the spikes, he suggested placing a bar exactly like the one that was on the bottom portion of the fence, saying it would be a much nicer look. I further discussed having the gate and fencing painted. I need to point out that Oscar also pointed out that the latch that secures the gate when closed was not adjusted appropriately and suggested that he fix the latch, so that it did not have so much stress on it, that it would break. Oscar showed up the following Saturday to repair my gate and paint it. I could not believe how quickly he repaired the gate. He cut the bars of the gate and sodered the new bar in place so that it looked exactly as the one that was originally designed when we built the fence. He and his associate were clean, respectful and I hardly knew they were there. When they were finished, Oscar explained to me that he would drop off his associate the following Saturday to do the painting. Oscar did as promised and I could not be happier with the job that his associate completed. I could go on and on and praise Oscar for his work, his work ethic, and his knowledge of wrought iron and fencing in general. I would recommend Oscar to anyone, without hesitation. As a matter of fact, I am having some new gates and fencing updated in a month or so, and Oscar will be the person I will contact to do the job. Thank you Oscar and thank you Angie's List.

It was a small job and Oscar make it quick and simple. Quick, prompt, courteous and responsive service.

Mr. Duran was very professional. He took measurements and then made templates to assure perfect size and fit. His artistic vision created the railing that added to the functionality and ambiance of our back porch.His thoroughness made the process a bit longer but in the end, it was worth the wait. The railing outside the back door is the perfect fit for our needs. His handmade and ground out pool railing is exactly what we hoped it would be. Do not mistake his carefulness with stalling. It is not. He is just very thorough and wants to make sure that he delivers to you what you want. We are very pleased with his work; his professional demeanor and his personal touch that he gives to the client. We highly recommend him.

Oscar is such a lovely person and I'm so happy to have found him. He is honest, professional, and gets back to you promptly. He only recommended what he would do on his own home, and found his advice to be solid. Pricing is reasonable and he gives you options so you can make the best decision to your particular situation. All around nice guy and will definitely be calling him next time I need his services! Thank you, Oscar!

Oscar came out and confirmed that we could in fact do this modification. He gave us a fair price and came back the next day to do the job onsite. He showed up on time and did the work quickly and flawlessly. Oscar is a confident and experienced welder. I would trust him with any job. We are very happy!

Oscar was wonderful to work with from the moment he answered the phone. He was very accommodating, demonstrated by his willingness to drive out that very same day to discuss my project. He made it clear that he was a professional and that his primary objective was to create something that would be unique and make us happy. And he followed through on that promise.On his first visit, he brought a portfolio of his work, which immediately made it clear that he wasn't just an iron worker, but a real artist with both vision as well as technical skill. His work was simply beautiful! After our initial consult, he came back to take measurements, show me samples of the iron, and also show me life-size drawings of the designs he was proposing. All of this was very helpful to me, particularly since I've never been exposed to iron work and I tend to have a difficult time envisioning things that I can't see physically before my eyes. More importantly, because I couldn't quite understand how the railings would look and fit into the space, I was pleased (and relieved) to see that he had really good, creative ideas.When Oscar came to install the work, he took elaborate measures to protect our floors and walls from damage, cutting wood to size to perfectly cover our surfaces. It was evident that he truly enjoys his craft and takes pride in the quality of his work. On top of that, I found his working style to be very collaborative and positive. Whenever I had any doubts about the direction he was taking, he was open to feedback and discussion. Rather than taking offense or being so married to his own ideas, he proactively dropped everything to work together on the creative challenge of devising a solution. Again, he's someone who very much aims to please as he wants his customers to love the finished product as much as he enjoys creating it.
