We called Dowd yesterday. Received a call back today. He said he is real backed up, acted like he didn't want the work. Even though he is near our home, he didn't even want to come write a bid. We wanted a fairly simple attractive bi-parting gate and were extremely open to pricing and suggestions, but I guess we have to keep looking.
Description of Work: Dowd didn't want to build a gate for us.

Dowd saves the day again!!! We had previously used Dowd to replace a battery in our gate, and when a freak wind storm completely broke our existing gate in half, we knew exactly who to call. Dowd was able to rebuild a completely new gate for us from scratch at a very good price. Not only that, he is a very nice person to work with and communicates very well. We will always use him in this home and future homes for our gate needs. Thanks Dowd!!!

Dowd did a great job. He showed up to give us an estimate and then started the work in about a week. Because the project was large and involved concrete it took a few days. He had a helper one or two days, but did all the important work, like welding himself. He provided advice and guidance for teh best way to set the gate up and through in free-painting at the end. Overall great experience and I'd reccomend him to anyone to either isntall a new gate or repair a preexisting one. I feel very fancy and secure now with my automatic gate. Price was good for how big of a project it was.
Description of Work: Dowd turned my simple gate into an automatic one that opens with the touch of a wireless button. I had a preexisting gate but it was dragging the ground and was very difficult to open. He dug up the gate and reinstalled the concrete footing for the gate, then he cut and welded the gate and surounding fence to make it perfectly level and even. He repainted the gate and fence and provided three wireless buttons even though we only paid for two.

Perfect.
Description of Work: Dowd completely rebuilt my existing driveway gate. His work is outstanding! Our gate was not functioning and we did not like the design. He came in, rebuilt it, changed the entire look, automated it, and painted it. He stands behind his work and always follows through. We are incredibly pleased with him and his work. You can't go wrong by hiring him.

We have a beautifully fenced back yard and having a remote-controlled gate is fabulous!
Description of Work: Installed a beautiful wrought iron fence and electric gate. The workmanship was beautiful. The length of time of installation was completely underestimated. Instead of two weeks, it took almost six weeks.

The price was the best part because they were below other people’s estimates. They came out pretty quickly. It looks pretty good except there are some spots on it that looks like they are rusting on the bottom. It was not supposed to be that. There was supposed to be a special coating to prevent rust. Actually, I was trying to get them to come back out because I think I see some rust coming up on this thing, but I have not been able to get hold of anybody. I think they were more into other kind of thing. I think this was just a sideline. They were trying to get a roofing job; that was what they were trying to do.

Response from Bailey Fence & Iron
Iron work is not my sideline. It's what I do every day. The custom railings I built and installed came out very nice. And I was trying to keep the price down for them as well. (I did also help with a basic roof inspection because I could tell their home has suffered some hail damage.) -I am unaware of the customer trying to contact me because of "some spots that look like they are rusting on the bottom". But now that I know, I will be in contact with them to resolve any issues they may have.

The job went smoothly, as always. For several years, Mr. Bailey has been our go-to guy for the repair of an electric wrought-iron gate installed by someone else. The gate wasn't installed properly to begin with and was breaking down every month, so Mr. Bailey made the necessary adjustments and the gate now goes for far more than a year at a time without problems. We now call him when the battery dies or when an old solder fails, as was the case recently with the gate arm.
Description of Work: The solder on the arm of our electric gate had broken, so we called Mr. Bailey to fix it. He arrived at the appointed time and repaired the gate within the hour. He also readjusted the swing speed.

Bailey repaired the iron gate in my driveway by welding an additional piece of metal to the gate and bolting it more securely to the side of my house. It had been poorly done before and had pulled away from the house. It is so solid now I cannot imagine it moving again. He repainted the gate where necessary.
