Really good guy and very fast. I would go back. The work was delicate and I took a risk…he came through.
Description of Work: Welded a broken stainless steel and nickel modern art candelabra. He did a terrific job and my piece is strong and beautiful again. I could not afford a restorer and I was thankful that he came to the rescue.

After two previous welders failed to show up I called Mike. He asked for photos of the damage, which I texted him promptly. He said he could come early the next day and showed up on time. The damage was slightly more extensive than he thought, so i willingly paid an extra $100 to get the job completed. Mike was very personable and easy to work with.
Description of Work: Mike replaced part of our wrought iron fence that had disintegrated.

I sent Mike several photos of a wrought iron railing damaged by a falling tree branch. When he didn't show up or call as arranged, I called him. In our conversation I asked if he could estimate the cost of the job based on the photos and he gave me a price range more than three times the estimate from the insurance adjuster. He then said, "if this is more than you want to pay, just tell me so I don't waste my time coming over." I told him there was no need for him to waste his time. I am glad others have found him a good [rovider; in my case, not so much.
Description of Work: Mike failed to show up when he said he would nor did he call.

It was a small job, yes, but Mike was great! He was very helpful and took the time to think the repair through. Initially, we thought it would be a quick & small welding job, but it became a bigger problem when we discovered there was more to it. Mike took the time to problem solve the issue and he fixed my lamp on the spot! He didn't charge more than he had quoted initially. Thanks Mike!
Description of Work: Welded an antique lamp back together.

See the section of what the provider did. Nothing. Never returned phone calls nor message left at his place of business which turned out to be his house.
Description of Work: Nothing. I called and left messages. I went to what I thought was his business and it was his home address. I left a message on his service and my card at his house and never heard a word. Never got a call back or anything.

After failing to make arrangements with another company, I called Mike's. They were able to send out a welder within an hour. He arrived on time and got to work. After about 30 minutes his equipment malfunctioned and he had to return to the shop. I was anxious that he'd have to come back another day, but he was able to come back in a matter of hours to finish the job. The welds were clean and strong and he was very helpful in making sure everything was in the right place. He didn't do much cleanup grinding after, but I'm ok with that since I have my own grinder and he gets paid by the hour.

saw Mike's ratings on Angie's...gave him a call...he asked for a cell phone pick....he gave a fair estimate...I dropped it off and it was done within 24 to my satisfaction...will definitely use him again.
Description of Work: I have a set of chrome mesh counter stools. Each of them consists of a seat that is welded in many spots to its base. These welds came undone and Mike repaired them for me quickly and at a good price. Also the communication was good.

We had sold our house and were literally moving out that Saturday....on Wednesday the metal latch to our metal driveway gate broke off. We had to get it fixed so that the person buying our house wouldn't get upset that it was broken. I called Mike and he was able to come out the next day. He did great work and we were able to hand the keys over without any issues.
Description of Work: He came and welded the latch of a gate back onto the gate. He also put a plate on the gate in order to make it so that latch would be less likely to break off again.

My fence was rusty and he replaced a section of the fence that was damaged. He also repaired the gate (where a lock was broken). Mike was punctual (on a Saturday morning), and the service was great. I would definitely recommend. Thanks Mike.
