Friendly and fast! John repaired a set of old iron outdoor chairs. He repaired the broken welds and added more support, so stronger than new. Even primed and painted the new supports to match.

Email comms were solid. We followed up with a phone call discussing specifics of the work being requested. John was supposed to be here at 2pm. Around 215pm, he shows up and immediately has an attitude about being sent to the wrong address. I show him our email communications where, in fact, the correct address is provided. I faintly hear a racial derogation under his breath, but am not positive, so I leave it alone. He then begins to berate me about not having the deck removed from my tractor. I remind him we had a very granular conversation, where he mentioned he has done lots of these jobs & was incredibly familiar with the situation. When, in an attempt to de-escalate the situation, I ask if he knows how to "drop the deck" from the tractor, he bellows out " this is your responsibility, you can learn, you can experiment, I don't care what you do." At this point, I politely asked John to leave my property to which he responds " you people are all the same. I am not surprised." I bid him adieu and ask him to have a better day. After he speeds off, i call him to ask what the problem was & what he meant about "you people". He chuckled and said "I dont know what you are talking about." I advise John the encounter was being recorded & would be shared via various social and news platforms, to which he began to scream, "I don't care! you can shove it up your F'in @$$". Glad i confirmed the ENTIRE interaction (from arrival at property to and through departure) is all captured in HD audio/video. Truly unfortunate that this type of hatred is so pervasive in our society... Maybe John will see & hear himself, and reflect on the hatred in his heart. Maybe not. In either case, lots of people will be able to see exactly what happened, and judge for themselves.

One very scary encounter never before has anything like this ever happened to me and I hope it doesn't happen ever again. Foremost in my mind was to make a speedy exit away from there especially with the corona virus pandemic raging.. Job was falsely represented to me in 2 pics which I saw in an email also in the same email customer wrote Quote:"Small weld (approx 2.5”) broken on deck of tractor End quote. so I came I saw and I left but before I left I explained to customer he'll have to disconnect a few brackets and remove the deck form the mower for access for welding and call me again when ready while I was leaving he became abusive and threatening same time stating I was being recorded on the most extreme high tech equipment I made no response just continued my departure. . Surely there is therapy and/or counseling available to this poor individual rather than allowing himself to go down into his perceived world of hate and everything that goes with it notwithstanding his attempt to offload false wicked bitter accusations directed at me. I promise I will say a prayer for his best intentions.

It went very well. Quick response to my initial call and work was done promptly and skillfully. Our patio chairs now just need a bit of touch-up paint, but they are fixed and ready to be used again.
Description of Work: We had 2 old wrought iron patio chairs that needed to be re-welded. I called and spoke with John. He had me send photos of the chairs. He was able to stop by the next day after another job and complete the work in less than an hour.

It went great! John came out to the property right away. He did a great job of welding and cementing in the existing railing. Even after someone messed with the railing while it was drying, he came back and inspected and cemented again. Great guy. We recommend him happily.

We sent John photos of the repair to be done and chose him for his fair price and previous reviews. He showed up exactly on time, which is impressive due to major traffic in our location. He was very pleasant and conversational. He removed the railing, drilled down through the concrete base ready for the repaired railing. We had rescued a spare railing from a teardown house nearby, in case it could be of use. John said the part he could have used was also rusted but that he would take it to the tip for us. Thanks! He welded new end pieces onto the original handrail and painted and sunk them into the concrete filled holes. He noticed that our aging steps had a pretty nice horizontal crack and offered to fill it in for us. We said he need not bother, but said he was happy to do so while he was on site. Though, as he finished the handrail project, he apologized that he had run out of the mix to fill it. He did, however, spend an extra hour grinding down a ridge on the cracked step, to make it easier, with his directions, to fill the crack ourselves, which were capable of and would have been happy to do. We gave him extra $ for his effort. Though, the following day, we received a call from John, saying he would be over in 2 hours to fix the crack in the step. We said no-one would be at home, but he insisted he was nearby and would be over, which indeed he did. So all in all, it was a pleasure to have both our steps and railings neatly repaired and to have made his acquaintance. We appreciated his attitude, work ethic and humor and would heartily recommend him.

John did an outstanding job of repairing the connection of the wheel to the mower deck. He worked until the repair was fully to his and my satisfaction. He wanted to be sure the repair would not fail anytime in the future. His effort was beyond my expectations resulting in a strong repair that will last well into the future.

I am please to be able to help. I gathered from our phone conversation that this little antique was important to you, so as promised I decided to help, depending on when I'm passing your area, because I figured I didn't want to incur and charge for traveling time. Luckily stitching with Softweld 99Ni (AWS class ENi-CI) 99% Nickel electrode did the job. I was my pleasure glad I was able to help. Thank you for your comments. John G

John came at the time arranged to give an estimate for the work, and because our job was small he said he would fit us in when he could. The next week he did the work at the estimated price. The cost was less than other estimates, and John is very sociable as well as a capable welder. (He also smoothed some masonry work done by another group without charge.) We are very pleased with the final product.

When the stair rails at my new property needed some welding, I searched Angie's list and found Nova Mobile Welding. John was great to work with and made it very convenient for me when it came to scheduling the job. His work was excellent and I would absolutely call him again for any future welding project! Highly recommend anyone to use his services. Thanks John!

Stopped in the middle of my job to talk to my neighbor and HAVE A BEER WITH HIM!! Really? Although he did a good job, he started by lecturing me on how awful HOAs are and how they are a ripoff. I don't care about hi opinion. Also, when I went to pay, he got angry that I wanted to pay by check, not cash. If he wanted cash only, he should have told me. The job itself was fine and Everything is solid and safe now. But his attitude and unprofessional behavior were too much. Response to his comment: Evidently I meet all sorts too. But drinking on the job? Really?

Very well. a dart on my hoop and dart wrought iron fence broke off. I had acquired the replacement dart from the company who built the fence for me. John Geaghan was very responsive to my needs. He promptly returned calls, showed up on time, was very socialable and professional. He was fast. removed the remains of the old dart, installed the new dart and primed the area of the fence left without paint. Looks great!

John and I agreed that I would call Monday morning and we would agree to a time. I called Monday @ 930am and we agreed on 1PM and $50.00, since the job was going to be less that a hour, and he charges $75.00 per hour. He showed up at 1250, and after some small talk began to work on the bike. Not only did he repair the broken weld, but he added additional angle iron to strengthen the seat.

John did a great job! First, he explained why the footrest had broken (he pointed out that there was a joint in the original bar that was weak - so, my friend is off the hook...) and then he not only repaired it but painted it with primer for me so that it will be easier for me to finish the paint job (the chair is fairly ornate and part of a set: 4 chairs (2@ my breakfast bar and 2 with window cafe table) and a matching breakfast hutch. So, throwing out the chair would have necessitated redoing much of my kitchen. Coming to my home was a great convenience; I had not been organized enough to throw it in the back of my car and go searching for someone to repair it. Lastly, the conversation was professional and yet friendly - he's a down-to-earth Scotsman and from the first phone call he seemed like a good friend. This was a small job, but he still drove 20 miles to take care of me... Kudos!

I have a broken flue lever on my fireplace and have been calling around to see how much it would be to get it fixed. After I described the problem, the man on the phone was rude and essentially told me it was I waste of his time. I was not expecting for him to come to me so I let him know I was planning on bringing it to his shop if he was able to do it. He then gave me a smart and lt;rear-endand gt; answer that I couldn't find him because he was on industrial steel. So I hung up. I have worked in customer service and flooring sales for over 15 years so I know how to be polite and I don't expect something for nothing. What the gentlemen on the phone did was completely unprofessional and uncalled for. Next time you don't want to do a job just say you have a minimum charge real simple way to keep tiny jobs from costing you money.

John was on-time, prepared with his truck, tools and materials. When John looked at the rail to be repaired he stated that he could salvage the piece of iron rather than replace it. John took the extra 20-30 minutes to straighten the piece of iron rail and it looked as good a new. On top of that, John said he wouldn't charge me for the material (new rail) he went out of his way to pick up before coming to the job. I would highly recommend John to anyone. He is honest, straightforward and very reasonable in price. I look forward to working with him in the future...
