Horrible customer service over the phone. I attempted to schedule an appointment twice with Chris who is the son's owner. First attempt he was supposed to call me back to confirm an appointment since he had to check with his dad's schedule. Never called back. I attempted a second time and we actually agreed on a time and date. Never called or showed up. I got a hold of Chris all he could say was that he was sorry! English isn't their second language too. So unprofessional no explanation and he wanted to get off the phone with my by saying he'll call me back again for his availability. Awful do not use this company if they can't even give a courtesy call that they can't make it, who knows what type of service they'll perform once the job is given!

Description of Work: The owner responded promptly to our call and came to our house for a detailed evaluation and then gave us his opinions about how he would handle the work. We needed to have our iron gate serviced and also add wrought iron additions to some windows. The results were satisfactory and the price was reasonable. He was friendly, knowledgable, and was able to show us lots of samples for us to consider. He was very helpful but not pushy. I would use this company again in the future.

Many delays. Several call of cancelling appointment at last minute. The power coating took forever. When the power coating was finally done, he didn't have time to come install it. When the hand rail was finally delivered, the power coating had long scrapes because he didn't wrap them when transporting it on top of his truck. Used wrong gloss spray paint to cover up the scratch. I saw that the welded joints have pits and pots so I asked him if he did the work. He said that his apprentice did the work. Had him fix the joints which means removing the power coating and using the wrong gloss spray paint to cover the work. By this time, it was getting dark and I didn't catch many other joints that weren't done correctly. He went to China the next day for Chinese New Year and would not be back for a month. Many joints under the hand rail have already started to rust after half a winter.
Description of Work: Installed hand rail for outside access to 2nd floor.

I called and was was quoted a price over the phone of $600 based on the rough dimensions of the 2 gates. That sounded like a reasonable price and so I agreed. I was told that Jeff would be out to do the measurements. Turns out that English is not Jeff's first language and I found it very difficult to communicate with him. I have one other gate at the side of the house that I wanted copied for style and appearance. The gate posts on the side of the house are welded to large 5/8 diameter bolts that were embedded into the block walls when the walls were build. This results in a gate that will never come loose from the wall. When we built the garden walls we installed the same type of anchor bolts to hang the small gates on. When Jeff saw and finally understood that I wanted the new gates to be the same he said that the quote was for 1and quot; square tube not the 1-1/2and quot; that was used on my front gate. To make the new gates the same he wanted another $200. I reluctantly agreed so that I could just get the project done. A week later when he returned to install the new gates they had 3 small ugly tabs welded on the sides of the tubes and Jeff was going to drill and use anchors to install the gates. I pointed out that we had put in the large bolts to hang the gates on and he replied and quot;No problem, just cut offand quot; I freaked and told him that I did not want the gates hung on cheap ugly tabs with plastic anchors. He agreed and returned a week later with 2 helpers and no tabs on the posts and I helped his crew drill the holes in the posts and we got them installed. The gates are rock solid and will last a life time. If I had allowed them to be installed with the anchors they would have lased a year at the most before they were loose. I know that none of these problems would have occurred if Jeff's English had been better so that I could have had a real conversation with him regarding what and how I wanted the job done. Next time I will use someone else and make sure that they speak English so that I can avoid this type of problem.
Description of Work: Construct and install 2 small gates approx 36"x36".

The arrival window was to be between 2-3 in the afternoon. The welder arrived about 3:05 p.m. He had his equipment ready in a few minutes. The entire job just took about 30 minutes. Very efficient.
Description of Work: Because of some retaining wall slippage, our iron gate locking mechanism got out of line. The welder removed part of the locking device, realigned it, welded it, and painted it. You can't even see where the repair was done.

When they came out to do the estimate they were very well prepared with samples of materials, colors and samples. The only problem was they did not deliver on the promised date they did come out and tell me about the delay. The Gate was so beautiful that I will over look that one problem. I have had so many compliments on the new iron gate I would highly recommend this company.

It went great. There was some confusion on the delivery date, but he delivered his excellent hand-crafted wrought iron on the right date and it was beautiful!! I have gotten so many compliments on it!
Description of Work: Jeff built a handrail and a gate for us. He was a great guy, you can tell he really loves his work. His craftmanship was excellent and I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. He even removed the ugly temporary railing I had as a courtesy. I am going to have him built a railing for the back steps as soon as I get some more $$ together. Excellent service and work.

Description of Work: I contacted Elite to fabricate and install a pedestrian walkway gate for the side of my house. When I called the listed number, the woman answering the phone just said hello rather than stating the company name. This threw me off a bit because I thought maybe I had dialed incorrectly. I explained what I wanted and he came out to see my project area and take measurements a couple of days later. Jeff is a very nice, friendly man with an extremely heavy accent. I interact with a lot of people through my work for whom English is not their first language and this is not generally an area of difficulty. I had a very hard time understanding Jeff; we communicated better when he drew out what he meant in terms of design. He showed me a booklet with different finishes and I selected from those. He quoted me a price and a timeframe which was about 10 days until installation. He was supposed to be there on Monday afternoon around 3 pm. I called to confirm because I wasn't sure and the girl I spoke to said Tuesday at 2:30. I left work early to meet him and received a call at 2:35 on Tuesday that the powder coat finish wasn't ready. I was very unhappy because I would not have left work early if I'd had even 30 minutes notice. The girl apologized profusely but these issues are the reason I graded down on puncuality/professionalism. All that being said, Jeff came down on a Sunday to complete the installation and the gate itself is beautiful. It has a kind of gothic feel to it and a privacy backing. It adds a lot of beauty to my little house and I would definitely use Elite again in the future.

Jeff answered the phone, came out the same day and looked over the job. He opened the operator and just knew what to do. He gave his bid which was better than the others I had received. Even though the language barrier was present, it did not keep me from knowing that Jeff was the right person for the job. He cut the gate,put in two posts and lock and put in the manual gate and painted the posts he had installed. He was thorough, diligent and the price was outstanding for the work done. We will have him make our pet gate in the back yard soon and I doubt we will even try to bid it out as he is very fair and reasonable. Plus, he is just a very nice person who takes pride in his work and wants to do a good job for the customer. Please don't let the mild language issue deter you from giving the job to Jeff or you will have a lost opportunity to have a great product for a fair price.
Description of Work: Swinging electric steel gate was downsized (cut) to make a manual gate and the electric gate operator was evaluated and the battery and control board was replaced so that the operator became functional again.

Aside from a few minor difficulties with language it went very well! Elite Iron is one of those rare companies that takes pride and enjoyment in what they do. They provide quality work and will go the extra mile to do so. Also notable is the design aesthetic he brought to the job, actually improving our ideas to provide beautiful, quality work that was custom built to last. I hope Elite Iron will read this and know how much I appreciate their work!
Description of Work: Elite Iron Works installed custom wrought Iron fence around the front yard. This included an automated car gate and two pedestrian gates. Also installed were two gates in the back yard and some additional fencing. All were powder coated.

Communication was VERY difficult and I was concerned because the bid was at the high end of all the other bids. The final outcome was far better than I could ever have imagined.I can't wait to expand the area and tear down the rest of the old wood fence
Description of Work: I had an old hand made wrought iron door cover that I wanted installed. He took the door and built extentions on either side to match the door and expand to fit the area that needed a gate .Then I needed to have the gate installed.

Went great, came out the same day to give us the estimate ($150) and came back the next day to do the work. Welded on 2 sets of braces/anchors at the top of 3 step railings, then 1 more on another one that already had only 1. And re-welded the fence railing. Also painted all the braces/anchors and welds to match existing paint. They were extremely friendly and did the work quickly. Would definitely hire them again!
Description of Work: We needed some additional braces/anchors at the top of several sets of outside step railings as well as a fence rail that had broken when a tree grew around it. Had gotten 2 bids for the work and theirs was the most reasonable (the other company wanted $420).

Found them on Angie's list and the references were good so we called him Friday morning. He came by within a few hours to give us the quote and indicated he could start right away, which he did (he estimated 4 days total to complete the job, but completed it in about 2 (long) days.
Description of Work: We had a broken hinge on the gate on a 160 foot long wrought iron fence, along with a couple of rusted areas on the fence that needed replacement pieces welded in. Jeff gave us a quote of $180 for doing all the repair, and we then asked him what it would cost to also repaint the entire fence. He gave us a quote of $5/ft. This was on a Friday. He took the gate off on Friday to take back to his shop to weld on a new hinge and came back the next day (Saturday) to do the repairs, clean rust spots, and start the painting. He had Alan, his helper, working all day Saturday and Sunday to complete the painting. It looks much better than before.

I called the company based on some good Angie's List recommendations. They sent a man who I believe was named Jeff. I was running an errand when he came but when I returned he had already fixed the gate. I called him back so I could pay him and he came back an hour later and charged me exactly what he said he would. He was fast. I didn't think it was even fixable, as the gate broke in pieces and was lying on the ground when I left to run my errand. It's fine. I can't believe how many great people I've found on this List.

I called at about 9:30am and was told someone would be there for an estimate between 10-12 the same day. The gentleman arrived about 10:30am. He was pleasant and clean. His command of English was less than what I had hope. A deal was struck. The worker would return the next day between 4-5pm to perform the work. The worker had not arrived by 6pm so I called the shop. The shop call back and said that the worker was running late would be there between 7-7:30pm and indeed he was. The worker brought all his equipment with him and cleaned up after himself.
Description of Work: The front gate was knocked lose from its moorings sometime during the previous week by parties unknown. The worker, Jeff, reattached the upright to the block wall. He did the reattachment by welding tab to the left and right of the upright and securing it with new lag bolts into the masonry. Next, he removed the old one way hinges, replaced them with bidirectional hinges, and attached a mesh screen to bars of the gate with screws. The mesh was originally held in place by twisted wire.

They told me they would be here at 5:00 and didn't come until 6:30. My husband asked if they would come back the next day at 9:00am, he said he would. The next day he didn't show up at 9:00 and called at 10:30 and asked if he could come at 2:00 instead, because he was busy. I said that was fine and he didn't show up until 4:30. I finally got an estimate, but we will not use them.
