Vinnie's Ironworks

N/A, since he refused to even come out.

I took a photo on my cellphone of a badly rusted section of the grillwork, a horizontal bar, right next to the vertical bar on the ironwork and brought it to Vinnie's in my neighborhood. I'd never dealt with them before. Dominic looked at the phone and said he needed to look at the problem himself before estimating but the job required several cuts around the vertical bars that joined the rusted bar. He was going to be the neighborhood and, as this was on the front of the building, he could come by without an appointment. That was a Saturday. Monday morning I got the call that he was outside and had examined the problem. I came out.. He said it would be $175 and he could bring his men down that morning. I had already gotten another estimate by e-mail that was more than double, so I said to go ahead. Dominic came back within the hour with his men and equipment. They cut out the rusted section and replaced it with a stronger bar. I had also wondered why this one section was rusting. He discovered the cause: a hole near the end of the bar was letting water in that was flowing through the inside of the bar. He closed that hole also. I was impressed with his professionalism and pleasant manner, rapid response, and of course, with a reasonable price after getting a much larger estimate from another company. I was also impressed that Dominic stayed and did the work himself with his helpers assisting. I had gone to a third company with my photo and they said they'd come by but days later, haven't heard back.
