We wanted something decorative not industrial. Kevin and his wife came up with an organic design that fits our landscaping and the surrounding terrain. It goes beyond the safety needs that we initially had since it also turned out to be a beautiful work of art. He consulted with us all along the way with photos, he is courteous, a skilled professional, prompt and considerate of our time. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. We've already talked to him about our next project and can't wait.
Description of Work: We needed railing on the terracing in our backyard.

He was punctual, efficient and very nice. He reinforced the other hinge as well. The welding looks way better than the original. As a totally unexpected touch he painted the exposed metal with black paint to match the gate’s color. It would have cost me $64 to rent a stick welder for 4 hours from Home Depot, and those things weigh 200 lbs. The cheaper and lighter MIG welders are not ideal for this type of work. The work area was pristine after he was done. You can tell when someone cares about the quality of their work. I am sure he shows the same care when he works on large custom projects.
Description of Work: Wrought iron gate hinge broke off where it was welded

It went well. Two contractors... sprinklers ended up behind in front of the sprinklers, but that was an easy fix, thankfully.

Kevin showed up on a Saturday, took one look and said those musical words "that's not a problem". He worked with me to figure out how to get it repaired correctly and never gave me any grief about my amateur workmanship. It was worth every penny to have a professional bail me out and salvage my project. I would definitely hire him again.
Description of Work: I called Kevin to repair a mistake I made in one of my own projects. I over cut an expensive beam that I had a lot of work into and wanted to see if it could be welded up instead of replacing it.

Kevin is creative, responsive and willing. I was thrilled with the results and how quickly he finished my project. We consulted on some future projects and when I have the cash and time, I'll proceed because he is easy to work with, a hard worker and efficient. I was pleased to find him on Angie's List.
Description of Work: Created a metal frame and support for a laser cut metal art piece I wanted placed in my garden.

I couldn't be more pleased. He completed the job the same day, was very professional, and did a great job with the welding. Everything was nicely aligned and neatly welded. He is clearly a very knowledgable, skilled craftsman.
Description of Work: Kevin welded flanges on the ends of six steel posts for me.

Kevin took the time to explain to us how he planned to make some art for his front yard and the methods he planned to use. The resulting sculpture is unique and beautiful.
Description of Work: While we have not hired KGI to do yard art for ourselves, we have viewed his personal yard art and it is stunning.
