He quoted $344 to repair the gate that needed a center weld.

For the smaller gate repair he texted me the following: This small gate I cant repair it. Its far beyond a repair. It needs a new door. Hinge repairs is usually what takes me 3 hours. Also, Victor the owner said i have to charge more. I was out there too long for just a gate repair. 10/23/2025, 10:46 AM The next morning I told Michael to hold off until I get a better idea on how to fix this gate.

Pls bring back the metal gate back to 297 Simmons Ave. Michael call me at 4:41 PM and advised that he would need $80 for the cancellation of the project and for bringing back the gate. 10/24/2025, 4:45 PM Michael S. Let me know once sent. Bank Alerts: Victor Salarzar has received the $80.00 you sent using Zelle... 10/24/2025, 4:45 PM Pls send me a pic when you have returned the gate... I have a handy man contractor that is able to do the repairs that I can trust. Good Kid Welding is a money grab scam. I would be very cautious in using them. He is choosing projects that are easy and can generate revenue right away. They would quote a complete re-make of the gate to make higher revenue, but could not help with the repairs to the fence, which take too long to make their quick buck. These guys are in it for themselves and not for the customer. Update: This is what the Vendor replied..(very professional...not!) and he is trying to scam me for $300 on Venmo today.

Looking around their inventory gave the same feeling of walking into a candy store as a child, they have/had everything I needed. Another point, their inventory was so vast, being a novice in welding I requested the assistance of Jessica, who found all the supplies I needed to specification and number. I spent half as much for the supplies I needed here than if I had ordered or went anywhere else, they gave complimentary water, sodas, and snacks to help replenish energy lost from the day. Overall, this is THE go to welding supply shop that I will return to in the future for all my welding needs.

Then my wife got involved and started asking for all sorts of custom designs and ideas. Leah and Memo never said no--all they did was find ways to make our gate dreams a reality. They custom-designed two gorgeous side gates for our home and even recommended adding a smart keypad lock for safety and easy access. ​But what really earned them five stars was their incredible attention to detail and Memo's drive for perfection. He wasn't happy with how the gate looked against our side wall because the wall was old and a bit wavy, so he actually took his work back to the shop to adjust it to seamlessly hide the wall's imperfections. Then, noticing that some of our stucco wasn't flush, he brought extra stucco with him and fixed our wall himself! Exceptional service from start to finish.
