Repaired gate with 3 better hinges. Repaired bent rod and tabs for closure of the gate. Did an excellent job in timely manner. Recommend this vendor.

It went smooth.

Good communication, great job getting the job done when requested.

I contracted with Mr. Singleton to do two things: 1) level and repair a set of wrought iron stairs; and 2) strip and otherwise prepare the stairs for priming and painting. As the stairs are 150yo original wrought iron, I was very specific in communications and the contract (that he agreed to) that the the goal was to preserve and restore the beautiful metal and that the work would include "leveling the entire set of steps... to include inserting metal brace under bottom step..." "install corner bracket on inside of corner" riser; "grind down all repairs to smooth, paint ready surface," "replace missing/broken screws in stair treads," "sand rust areas", "paint and rust removal, sanding (fully prepped for priming and painting by customer)" very little of this was done, at a professional level, or otherwise. He declared the job done even though the stairs were still visably not level and without a brace on the bottom step, no corner bracket was used, no screws were replaced (and several newly went missing after he grinded the heck out of all surfaces), stripper had been thrown around from the can in blobs on the stairs and railings (and adjacent painted walls) and left to bubble, dry, and harden unevenly overnight. When I pointed out these things, he did remove some more paint (using only a grinder that left gouge marks on several surfaces), but did not return to finish as promised. I was left to clean up his mess -- including applying several coats of paint stripper, scraping and sanding, using rust dissolver and treatment, etc. many, many untouched or damaged areas. He seemed to have no idea how to strip paint or refinish metalwork properly. He may be fine for rough welding if you don't care what it looks like, but I would not let him near anything that should be aesthetically pleasing to look at. I don't weld, but do solder and have hired welders in the past and have had no complaints. I've refinished these and other stairs in the past and know how much work goes into it, but he was not willing to do anything but grind away at all of the lovely, 150yo detail and I could not let him continue after it became apparent he didn't know what he was doing. I got supplies, offered use of my heat gun and sander, and even agreed to look after and fed his 5yo son who he brought to the job site (!) so that he could do the work right, but did not receive anywhere near the level of what he was contracted and paid to do. I do not recommend letting him near your home.

Extremely well and very professional! Would use again.

He tried to fix but the gate fell off within 2 weeks . More importantly I called him twice thereafter . He said he would come back and made an appt. Thereafter at appt time-- no show, no call. Now -- am I supposed to make time to chase him??? Now I guess I have to find someone else. I was willing to pay more but not if I have to chase him. :(

GREAT - EXCELLENT JOB - I was very PLEASED from start to finished.

I think that I overpaid for the quality of the work that was done, I had someone come out and look at the repair work and was told that it would not pass a state inspection so now I have to have it repaired again.

It went great! Quality work & would definitely hire again or refer work!
