I contact Patrick to have a pool deck curved metal railing installed in my NW Austin TX house. He was responsive and had the fastest turnaround of any of the quote of less than 1 week. Patrick Moore came out for an initial estimate and then a second time to get a 50% deposit. The deposit was$985 check which he cashed the same day. Then the excuses started, family problems, welding machine needs part (though he couldn't give me any more details even when pressed), rain (this was the only legitimate excuse), others jobs have priority. After 2 months I got lucky and he took my call on a Tuesday, I asked him when he could do the job. He said Wed or Thur. I said "Great I'll see you Wednesday". He said, "No, it would be Thursday" Then he never showed. I called him Thursday morning before 9, no answer, at noon, no answer, and between 4-5 and no answer. Each time leaving a message. I'm am now in the process of suing him in small claims court. There is no reason to ever give this guy a chance.

I have never dealt with a less professional in my life. He took money for a job he has yet to complete over 2 months later.
Description of Work: August 4, 20ll Patrick of Patrick's Metal Works was given 1/2 the proposal cost for designing and installing metal railings onto our new deck. He canceled at the last minute 5 installation dates. We have yet to see a single piece of his work for us. He will not return our phone calls. He was suppose to be here this morning to install. We received a text "not finished yet". He has been asking for one more week for 4 - 5 weeks. He told me he was 90% finished 3 weeks ago. He has not been upfront and honest with us. He has not dealt in good faith with us. AVOID THIS BUSINESS AT ALL COST IS OUR ADVICE!!!!!!!! Small claims court is our only option at this point.
