CASA DI FERRO

Excellent. I made one call to Pat, the owner of Cas Di Ferro and he sent his workers out an hour later to fix my gates. And they did it for free. This is a great place to shop for iron gates for entryways or driveways. If you are looking for honest prices and good work this is the place to go.

The first several times we called we couldn't get in touch with anyone. Knowing it was near Thanksgiving we didn't worry about it much. I finally got in touch with someone when they returned my message on a weekend, but the person didn't speak very good English. We gave him our information, phone number/address, and he said we'd get a call back the next day. Fast forward a week and we called again. I finally got a call back and explained what we were looking for, a simple arched gate to close off our courtyard. I was told we'd get someone out to measure and give us a quote. Again, a week later, haven't heard back, so we call again. I then get an email address from a live person (@msn.com? Really?) and was told to let them know what we were looking for. I sent a detailed email with pictures of what we wanted, and where we wanted it, and dimensions. Here is that email. --------------------------------------------------- Nick, We talked on the phone yesterday about a gate I was having built by Custom Ornamental Iron in Belen. They built the gate about 90% for my courtyard and then never installed it, won't return phone calls or emails. I found you guys on Angies List and saw you had a discount for members and a good reputation on there so I'm hoping you can help me get this done. First, here is a picture he posted on Facebook of the mostly finished gate. Also attached is a scan of the 'contract' for the gate so you can see the design. We went with the one shown in the center. He was going to also create a backing plate to cover up the cut away portions so we could have it powder coated a different color (orange or yellow) to make the zia stand out but also block as much wind and sand as possible. I believe the width of the area was 42 inches total, you can see in this picture where it is going. The areas on top of the wall are now filled with some steel art we had built and powdercoated on top of it, and we wanted to powdercoat the main gate to match, and have a spring assisted closing on the gate along with a normal door handle entry (lever style) to match our house. Thegate was going between the wall and he was going to build a post in the dirt strip next to the concrete for it to latch to. I hope this all makes sense. Later we are replacing the fence in the yard with more wall and want a larger or double gate in the middle of that. --------------------------------------------------- In response I got... --------------------------------------------------- thank you for all the information....do you have the gate and need to get it finished or have a new one made ?....FYI the price he gave you was outstanding since he would be paying for material only with that amount...our solid gates start at $750.00 Thank you, Nick, Casa Di Ferro --------------------------------------------------- I then replied... --------------------------------------------------- I have nothing but the picture. I saw it in person the last time I stopped by about it, the guy is just a con man down there. --------------------------------------------------- I still haven't received another reply yet. No one has come out to measure and give me an official quote, I only got the above. With the past luck I've had with metal fabricators I found another company that is very responsive and respectful to their customers.

It was good work, they were punctual, friendly, I thought the price was good and the work was done well, will use them again.

We are very satisfied with their work. They did an excellent job, in fact the they even added a few extras at no extra charge. Very professional, on time, excellent quality, excellent service. I highly recommend Caasa Di Fierro.

I was very pleased with the service. Someone came out as agreed, measured the openings for the gates, and showed me several design options. I chose the ones I liked, as well as the design of some inserts to replace rotten wooden inserts in the front courtyard wall.. A few weeks later, the gates were ready for painting. I bought the rust-proof paint and dropped it off at Case di Ferro. Once the paint had dried, workers showed up at my house to install the new gates and inserts. This process was completed efficiently and the old gates hauled away. I am very pleased with the final results. I definitely recommend Casa di Ferro for iron works.

Went well, they. They could call and update on status of fabrication and estimated installation. W as happy with product.

We wanted to get a screen door for French doors to the outside and a gate for the back of the house. A scroll screen of the same size cost nearly as much as the iron French doors with screen, which also provided additional security. We decided on the design of the French doors and the gate with the help of Peter who worked with us to choose the designs and styles of the doors and gate. Miles came out to the house and made the measurements, the doors and gate were made and painted within about 2 weeks, and they were installed by Miles and a colleague. The work was carefully done, Miles made sure everything fit properly and that scratches were sanded and repainted after installation. They look great and also have locks. We are very satisfied and highly recommend CASA DI FERRO.

great response

I was unimpressed by the lack of organization and communication; employees not arriving at my house at a pre-arranged time, and the high estimate. The employees at this company did not seem very eager to get this job.

arrived as scheduled provided assistance with the selection and delivered the perfect gate

Excellent service from start to finish! The day I called for an estimate, Casa di Ferro had workmen out measuring our existing gate and the wall where it would be installed. I got a verbal estimate the next day and agreed to it. As mentioned above, after calling Casa di Ferro back, we realized we could get a solid gate with a decorative scene on it for almost the same money so we did that. Due to the amount of other projects they had to do, we were told it would take about 2 weeks to get our gate finished, which was fine with us. Just before we were expecting our gate, Nick from Casa di Ferro called and asked if instead of a solid gate, they could open up the top area of the gate somewhat. I agreed as long as no one could get into our yard through the gate and our dogs couldn't get out. Today Miles and another employee came out to install our gate and I was THRILLED that I'd agreed to allow them to open up the top of the gate. It is absolutely beautiful and much nicer looking than the original balloon scene we'd ordered. Thank you very much to the entire Casa di Ferro team! Our gate is now a beautiful piece of functional art and the envy of our neighborhood! Not only will we use your company again, we will recommend you far and wide!

Peter measured our door for dimensions of a security/screen door. He manufactured a custom steel door and painted it with paint that we provided. They installed the door within the time specified.

Overall, it was great. There were no problems at all. They were reasonable on the price.

They expect the homeowner to prep the door frame or gate opening. Be sure to ask questions about what they provide versus what you the purchaser need to provide. This company provides doors but is not full service as far as finishing the frame, etc. The quality of the door and gate is the best I have found in Albuquerque.

see above. We were very impressed with this business from start to finish and intend to use them again for further security upgrades.

The owner is very good. I was impressed with the company. They did great custom work. My door is about an inch and a half thick with frosted glass. My electrical bill has been reduced.
