Fortin Welding & Ironworks Inc

The quality of Fortin Welding and Ironworks work was exceptional and exceeded my expectations.

They did a good job and it was reasonably priced. The quality of the work was great. They were nice and worked well with me.

They will get the work done immediately. They are so great. I hadn't used them before.

The installers were on time, installed the fence in approximately 4 hours. It is well installed , attractive and secures our back patio. It does the job it was installed for, security.

They were very good. I got the impression that they actually are better than all of the other landscape companies in regards to iron fencing as well as aluminum fencing. My only delay in not using them is instead one making decision its two is the only problem. They were on time coming out but there was a confusion or I didn't get the quote right away though from them. They were professional.

They took my husband's concept to modify the lights and worked on it. I liked the quality of their work. There was one small thing that didn't go well as it should that made a bigger difference. They worked on it and corrected it, which was very good.

They were very good and the people that did the work were very timely.

We called Josh Van Gundy, Fortin Ironworks Project Manager, explaining that our unusual sloping stonework front steps become a skating rink during ice storms, leaving us in need of a sturdy hand hold to reach the drive way. Josh made a prompt appointment where he provided us with a very helpful pamphlet, viewed the site, measured it and discussed with us the options Fortin could provide. We also discussed at length the excellent related information on the Fortin website, which had influenced our decision to contact that firm. We settled on a mix of a handrail to be attached to the entryway wall and a free standing railing from the wall to the driveway. The following day Josh faxed us a quote with an attached sketch. The quote was exactly what we paid. We suggested modifications to the sketch and faxed it to Fortin. Jeff modified the plan accordingly and gave us an estimated time of installation of three to four weeks. A week later we received a call that our project was ready, and telling us to notify Fortin at our convenience when we would like installation. The project was completed on April 19, 2011, and it is exactly what we hoped for. The installation crew was prompt, thorough and professional. Frankly we were surprised at the reasonable cost for this wrought iron project; Fortin's personalized approach to ensure that we would be pleased with the result was greatly appreciated.

They did a very good job, and they thoroughly explained everything they were doing.

Simple. Although it was a small job, it was easy and I can now be confident that no one will fall off the porch into the bushes where the wild cats hang out.

They were very prompt in both providing an estimate and advice on what design to use for our property. And after 6 weeks of getting our handrail fabricated, they called to schedule a time to come out and install our handrails. Their wrought iron looks wonderful!

The service technician at the front counter called in the fellow who was actually going to do the welding work and I showed him a picture and a blueprint of what I wanted. The welding artisan asked some questions and we discussed the project. It went well and I would use this company again.

Estimate was prompt. It was six weeks until service was performed due to hand made rails. Service was friendly and prompt. They answered all of my questions.

I rate them very high. I was thrilled dealing with them. I have the best tralis in my yard than any other house in this area and it is pretty remarkable. They were very professional. Their store room is amazing. They have a lot of art work there.

They first came out to give a quote. The job was done in a reasonable amount of time. The product was great, and their price was in accordance with their quote.

They were prompt and did quality work.

I liked the way the fencing company worked with me as far as how it would look. The guys were punctual and were really nice to work with. They also put flower boxes on the wall. They designed it so that it would work well with the house and the fence. They did good work and were careful when they installed the fence as we have a lot of tree roots.

They were extremely prompt! Their price was awesome! I can’t believe they did it for that, I expected to pay more. They did a great job. The people of course were nice. I give them high recommendation. This was the first time I dealt with them and I was very pleased. I would hire them again, but the fellow told me I would be good for 30 years!

I printed off pictures from their Web site, went to the show room and met with rep. who was very informative on types of rails - helped us decide on the best rail for the space. There was a delay in getting the estimate after our visit - an e-mail inquiry initial got the estimator in touch and then he came out promptly. Our porch was being resurfaced and tear off encountered old metal remnants from previous rail - the estimator called his installer who came by the same day and removed the old metal and sealed the holes (no extra charge). After several weeks, got a call and scheduled the install (within 2 days). Job completed within 1.5 hrs.

The initial meeting for the estimate went fine. There were some special considerations to be taken into account for the rails on the front porch steps in terms of placement and design of the rails. I was confident that the estimator understood and wrote down what was needed. The delivery date was only a little later than estimated. I told the estimator and installers in advance that I would not be able to be home when the railings were installed, and they said that would be fine. The two standard sets of rails were fine. For the rails on the front porch steps, there were all kinds of problems. Much of the trouble arose because there seemed to be absolutely no communication between different branches of the company. The installers thought that the first set of rails did not fit, whereas they probably were exactly as specified. They apparently did not have instructions as to where and how to install them. They took the rails back to the company. After that, I made numerous phone calls to the company trying to contact the estimator and installers, trying to get them to talk to the each other to either bring back the original rails together to see if they were correct, or make new rails if they were not. I always had a difficult time reaching people at the company, often leaving messages that were not returned. A second set of rails was installed while I was not at home (I was not even contacted in advance that they were coming !) This set was very different that what we had agreed upon, and had to be taken out, On two occasions, the estimator failed to show up, and could not be contacted by phone, for appointments he had made to come to my house to look at the situation (for which I missed work !) . Finally, two months later, the installers put in a third set of rails that was close to the original specifications - but not quite. I was so tired of trying to deal with this impossible situation that I just said fine. They could have probably saved themselves a lot of money (time and materials for the two extra sets of rails) and saved me a lot of frustration, if there had been better communication, and if the estimator had just brought the first set of rails back to the house with the installers, as I had asked him to do. I would absolutely never use this company again because of their extremely poor service. They are supposed to be a "custom" iron fabricator, but they were unable make and install a simple set of porch rails that were just a little different from usual. I

We spoke with Justin at Fortin, who was helpful and offered good advice in helping us pick out the fencing we needed and wanted for our project. He even offered advice on keeping down our costs, as we have a large yard(a double lot)and we knew that iron fencing all around would be very expensive. Overall, excellent work-the fence looks great(we had another company install the fence for us; Fortin did not install the fence).

They're very very good. Their quality is good. They actually fabricate the actual posts for you, they give you several choices and they're not pushy at all with their prices. You can pick from the basic ones to the most expensive ones. They came out and they were very clean. They came within the window that they said and they were here for an hour and half.

We were very happy with the work they did for us. We did not compare prices, but they seemed fair. They weren't cheap, but they did high-quality custom work. We wouldn't have expected a cheap price.

They always came out faster than they said they would, both in the measurement and manufacturing of the actual railing. The work is wonderful. They made exactly what we wanted and it fit properly. They were recommended to us by our general contractor. I would use them again in the future.

Fortin made the screen exactly as designed. The quality and workmanship is excellent and the design perfect.
