Oscar IS the best and most professional contractor I've used! Due to mobility issues I required installation of handrails at each entry/exit from our house. We understandably required banisters that would be strong (used for real support!). Oscar, by use of his tablet computer, was able to show us alternative handrails that would be both cosmetically pleasing and sufficiently strong for the job. And the rails installed looked exactly as expected. I would happily recommend him and his company. If I require additional wrought iron work, Benitez Wrought Iron Inc would be on the top of the list!
Description of Work: 4 handrails fabricated and installed.

We went over budget by $220. Thinking ahead about how to get power to the gate, I had our cement contractor place PVC conduit under our driveway when we had it replaced about 7 years ago. Unfortunately the conduit had gotten broken somehow and clogged and, though they tried very had, they were not able to fish the power cable through to the house. The locksmith who came out to install the Mighty Mule had to spend time cutting a trench in the driveway to bury the wire under epoxy, then threaded it under the house.In the end I am very satisfied. Oscar loves his work, loves owning his own business, and it shows. He knows this craft inside and out, and does not play around. He doesn't give it away, but I think his pricing is in line with the market.
Description of Work: Oscar's team designed, created and installed a pull-to-open driveway gate out of square-tubular steel. It has a nice arched top, but is very simple and functional in design. They used a Mighty Mule FM500 12V gate opener which I bought at Home Depot. The quote:Create new drive way gate with small side fence panel and 3"x3" post $2,225.00Install one gate operator , Price $ 1,250.00(gate operator and 110V electrical outlet supplied by customer)Total quote: $3,475.00

Very well, the work was done on time and cleaned every day after they finished for the day. We added the fence to keep our small dog in and I wanted a gap that was < 3.5 inches and this was accomplised. There were some gaps that exceeded this width and they were very receptive to correcting. The final fence looks great and all of our neighbors have made very positive comments.

Oscar was friendly, personable, I love the new wrought iron gates better then fence/wood deck and wood panel down on the patio, his brother Santos and Javier should get a raise since they put the new gates in which was a tedious hard job to do. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: We have a detached garage with a deck on top that had a wire fence with a wood overhang that needed to be replaced sinceno work had be done for decades. I had called preivous fencing/gate companies none willing to do the job until I calledOscar. Oscar came out took measurements of the gate, then later gave me a quote, I had to get some concrete repair work done too before the work began.

I wish every service experience could be like this one. Oscar came out to meet me and see what kind of gate I needed. He was totally punctual and friendly. He listened to what I needed and made suggestions. Then he sent me a sketch through email and quoted me a price. When we agreed he came by with a contract and I gave him a deposit. He was easy to contact over email and about 2 weeks later (which is what it said in the contract) his 2 employees installed our beautiful new gate. I could see that they are real craftsmen because the gate is really nice. They told us how to maintain it and answered any questions we had. The whole process was so easy and we love the gate. I would use them again in a second and I totally recommend them. Great job guys!! Thank you Oscar!
Description of Work: We have a wood gate blocking off our side yard that is falling apart and our dog is chewing through it. We thought that wrought Iron would be more decorative and stronger. So we decided to have Oscar replace it. He did just that. It was about 10 feet wide and 6 feet tall. Half is fixed and half is a swinging door. We also added scroll work and a solid bottom which added to the price.

I called a number of companies, but some of them never called back. The person came and gave me an estimate, but was way higher. He never gave me a bill, he gave me a verbal estimate. He wasn't able to accommodate the kind of gate I want. I wanted it arched to match the archway. He was very expensive. He did not respond very quickly to my request to come out. I think I had to call twice. He showed up at the time he said he was going to show up. I didn't get back to me since. He was punctual. I would not use his services in the future.

I initially contracted with Benitez Wrought Iron to make and install one gate at the convent at St. Ferdinand Catholic Church in San Fernando, CA. When I first contacted Oscar Benitez, the owner, and left a message, I was very pleased at how quickly he returned my call. He was very willing to meet with me at the sight of the work to be done and discuss the job with me. Once I contracted with Oscar, he gave me a date that the gate would be finished and installed. He was on time--no delays--and the gate was just as I envisioned it. His employees were like Oscar, extremely polite, professional, and helpful. I then contracted with Oscar for a second gate at the convent. That job went as well and as on time as the first gate. I am extremely pleased with Oscar, his employees and their quality of workmanship. The price was very fair and he immediately honored the discount offered through Angie's List.
Description of Work: I contracted for two wrought gates to be made according to my design request. The owner, Oscar Benitez, was excellent at producing the end result I wanted for the gates.

All work was performed in an efficient and excellent manner. See above.
Description of Work: Benitez Wrought Iron installed six new hinges on our existing iron gates including the welding of these hinges, and installed a self latching safety latch on our gates. They did an excellent job, and also did some paint touch-up work on the gates. The work was performed efficiently, and for a very fair price. Both of the technicians were professional, and they also explained the best ways to use the gates in order to preserve and maintain the gates.

The gate to my rental property was attached on one side to a common brick wall and the apartment building itself on the other side. Over time, I believe the side that was attached to the brick wall was shifting making the gate door more and more difficult to open as it was pushed into the opposing frame.I had had other companies attempt a fix by tightening the bolts, welding them in and still another that advised resetting the posts. After reading the excellent reviews for Benitez Wrought Iron, I hoped that I had found a company that could come up with a proper fix that wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg to achieve. After contacting Benitez Wrought Iron, Oscar called back the same day, and after I explained the problem to him, he set an appointment with me two days later. Based on what I had told him about the problem, he thought it might be due to the brick wall shifting and gave me his considered solution and an approximate price range for the job which I found to be very acceptable. Oscar arrived promptly at the appointed time and after looking at the gate, said he could fix it right then. He then quoted me a price for the job that was a little less than the price range he had had given me earlier and I was delighted! He was able to finish the job in 15 minutes time with no inconvenience to the tenants. The gate door now operates as it did as when newly installed. Oscar was very professional, prompt, did excellent work and the price was outstanding! I highly recommend Benitez Wrought Iron and will certainly call on him again for future needs in this field.
Description of Work: Apartment building gate door was rubbing against the frame making it extremely difficult to open. Oscar shortened the length of gate that the door was attached to by cutting a small piece from the gate and rewelding the gap so that the door could be pulled back to the proper clearance, making the door operable once more. He cleaned up the weld spot and spray painted it to make the job near indetectable.

Our old wrought iron fence was rusting completely through in several areas. I called Benitez Wrought Iron and Mr. Benitez was able to give me a quote the next day. The work was scheduled as a 2 day project. His workers came on time and completed the work as promised. We were very impressed with the attention to detail. The work was completed and the areas were completely cleaned and there was no debris left behind. Amazing to have such attention to detail, a great price and a project completed as promised. I am a very happy customer!
Description of Work: We had an excellent experience with Mr. Benitez and his staff. We had to replace a wrought iron fence and put an automatic closure on two side gates. Our project was simple, but the work was beautifully done showing great craftsmanship.

I met with Oscar at our home to show him some pictures, and discuss ideas for our staircase. He had some excellent suggestions, and pictures himself, and measured our staircase. After several discussions, we agreed on a design. I then sent him a sample of the wooden handrail our contractor would be installing on top of the staircase. He then made a sample section of the staircase, which I approved. He came to my house again with all pieces manufactured, to ensure a correct fit. The finished product was then powder-coated black, and he came again to install the final staircase. Every time, Oscar was on time, and each time he came himself to ensure the job went correctly (he didn't just send his installers). He coordinated with our general contractor on how the stair rail would finish into the walls, and beam at the end of the stairs. Oscar made the whole process quite easy. He completed the job on time, as promised, for the price agreed to. The end product is beautiful. We plan to use Oscar to build our outdoor fences when we move into our home. I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Oscar took my ideas, and designed, built and installed a wrought iron staircase in my home. He knew the city code requirements so my design would comply with code.

He came out and meassure the fencing we went over to his shop to see what kind of work welding etc. We saw some gates that had been made and everything looked very professional. He told us the time frame for the new fences and would have to take down the old and pre install the new and put back the old fence. He transported the new six fences to our choice of Power Coat place and once they were done he made an appointment to pick up the fence and installed the six new fences on top of the block wall the same day. Overall eveything went to plan and Oscar the owner was on top of everything.
Description of Work: We had six sections of wrought iron fencing made various heights and lengths. The welding on around the fence was neat, clean and covered all areas on the 3/4 inch tubing. When the fences were done he brought them out and pre installed to make sure once the Power coat was done the fence would not needed to be adjusted. He had to remove the old fencing for us and removed it for us. We had him take the new fencing to our choice of Power coat people. And when the Power Coat was finished he very carefully pick up the fencing and transported the fencing to where he was going to install. He protected the new fencing so no chips etc. in the new power coat during transporting and installing. His employees were very careful with the fence and clean up everything that need to be clean up and took the old fence away for us.

Oscar was very professional, helpful and knowledgeable. He was very patient with us during the designing of our gate. It was a pretty small project to him I'm sure but very imporant to us. He had to change the installation date twice but only because we called him and asked him to have the gate "powder coated" the next week. He said it would be no problem and told us the price would be a little higher which we agrred to. The second delay was due to the rainy weather. He was going to install on the next Monday but then called us to see if he could install it on the Saturday, 2 days earlier. He did and everything was great! We had forgotten to buy the locking door knob and his guys came to our door and said if we went and bought it right away that they would install in for us, that was a nice service on thier part!
Description of Work: We had an old wooden odd sized side gate that needed to be changed. Oscar came over to our house and discussed design options colors and materials that were available for our installation. Between Oscar and my wife, we came up with a perfect design and diemensions. It is a hollow tube wrought iron pedestrian gate with a side panel due to the extreme width. We decided to have it powder coated for better longevity. We are extremely happy with the results, the installation and the price! WE have a pool, and it's a good thing Oscar knows about codes, so our gate has the legaly required latches and springs for self closing safety.... Thanks Oscar!

Our experience was very pleasant. Oscar returned our inquiry call promptly and set up an estimate appointment. He arrived on time, inspected the area we were considering and gave well thought out suggestions. We agreed upon the estimated price and arranged for his company to install the gates the following week. Everyone arrived on time to perform the installation. Oscar made certain everything was as planned and his workers did a great job, very detail oriented, spending considerable time making sure everything was beautifully finished. I would absolutely call them again for wrought iron. Great job!
