I am so happy with our experience with this company! I met Dakota while visiting a friend. She was having a front metal rail put on her front porch which I needed also. I called for an estimate and Dakota was there the next day! I have a rounded front stair entrance so it was a bit more complicated. Dakota and his mom Kerry run the business. They do a great job, I am so thrilled with the quick installation, touch up and cleaning they did! I highly recommend Creative Iron works! read more

I chose to work with Creative Iron Works to build 2 very large exterior rails, an interior stair rail and 2 exterior gate screens. The design pattern which I had selected for the exterior and interior rails was quite intricate and had tons of details. Dakota came onsite several times to take exact measurements and to verify the design pattern. Somewhere along the way, their supplier went out of business, and they ended up needing to manually bend and create scrolls by hand. They met their commitment and came through beautifully, despite the huge and unexpected manual effort. And when the rails arrived and were installed just a few days ago, I realized the beautiful intricate workmanship and attention to details. Dakota, Saul, Kerry, others on this team are amazing and deserve every bit of appreciation. I would highly recommend them. read more

We had them do an outdoor step railing on our back porch, an indoor railing to our step down family room and a wall mount railing to the main bedroom. Initial consultation with Dakota and Kerry went very well. They had samples of the traditional railings we were looking for. Prior to manufacture, we had requested a change to the original order, which Dakota was able to accommodate. The final product was great and true to what we were expecting. Installation was quick and professionally done. read more

Creative Iron Works constructed and installed two double swinging wrought iron gates at my home. I met with Dan and Dakota and shared my vision with them. Approximately 6 weeks later, they brought my vision to life. They arrived and installed our beautiful gates. The welds and powder coating are second to none. They were responsive to my calls, and I couldn't be happier. P.S. Several of my neighbors complimented me on the gates and later ordered similar gates for their home. read more

It was hard to find a gate installer with knowledge of swing gate operators and was glad I had them do the full install. Other installers offered to either have me install it, or have a guy they knew install it. The gate and the operators need to be designed together. They have specific offsets needed so the gate can swing. I like using local installers for projects and plunked down my deposit. There was a long wait list as they had multiple projects already in the pipeline, but to me that is a good sign. After a few consults, we had the details of the project laid out, and they came and installed in one day. The gate looks beautiful and having it motorized is amazing. Little details like having the door close precisely (no wobble) and the lock mechanism working without any need to jiggle the gate is to me a good sign of quality. I definitely felt happy when the project is done. Hard to find good contractors. Hoping they continue to expand their business. As an aside, I'm also having them fabricate a mailbox post to match the gate and some H legs for a table project I have. read more

Setting up cars and setting up houses go hand and hand. You want cheap parts or material, then you should know it wont last long and might leave you in a sticky situation. You only buy the best so it will withstand whatever you throw at it. This was no exception when I was looking for new gates for my house. I checked out their work and had to give them a shot. My ideas are never easy to execute as I like my things to stand out. Within a few sessions they knew exactly what I wanted, put together a sketch and on we went. When the gates were installed, I was beyond belief. They came out great and can say without a doubt of confidence that I have the best gates within a 1 mile radius, EASILY. I love pulling up to my driveway every day. read more

Artistry. These folks are artists, and art takes time and patience. The result: an amazing stairway! Our unique and inspired stairway flows perfectly to our second floor while complimenting light fixtures, a chandelier, and other objects in our home. They are busy- there were a few times communication was spotty. Well worth a little patience on our part, however. You get what you pay for and you get what you wait for. I would also recommend Chris (the carpenter who replaced our posts). He can be reached through this business. Lastly, Dakota, (now running the store), has done a great job stepping up after the death of his father last year. Thank You! read more

Creative Iron Works- Wonderful people, so down to earth. Quick response and professional. Dakota Cart fixed my gate that was pulled out of the wall by strong winds. My driveway gate is now more secure than it ever was. My gate, purchased from 'Straight gates', caught the wind and blew open, ripping the bolts right out of the wall. Installation was done poorly by 'Straight gates', the bolts didn't even hit a stud and they also damaged the border of my window. Thank you Cart Family. read more

Dakota and team were great to work with! From the beginning he listened to the idea that I had for a gated door/ fence. He showed different designs that his team created for previous projects. From there I took my ideas changed a few things and made it our own. He measured once, twice and three times to ensure the project would fit with no issues. The results speak for themselves. The doors came out beautiful. The fit was perfect. The welds and powder coat are excellent. All my neighbors compliment the project. The time it took for the doors was approximately three weeks. I didn't mind waiting since I wanted it to be perfect and they are. I highly recommend creative irons works. Im located in Long Beach, Not Savannah. Lol read more

10 STARS! After we ordered the gates, Dakota kept me informed throughout the entire process, right up to the installation date. The gates were perfectly built to my specifications. Every part of the job was carefully measured and the gates were so well balanced, it was as if they were installing them on their own home. They did wonderful finish work, even painting all the screws and bolts the same color as the trim metal. They cleaned-up after themselves and provided great advice on the care and maintenance of our gates so we will be able to enjoy their excellent handiwork for many decades to come. Dakota and his brother were completely professional, efficient and thoughtful. CREATIVE IRON WORKS are an EXCEPTIONAL BUSINESS, and we will hire them in the near future for additional projects around our home; there is no better recommendation than satisfied, repeat customers. They are a family run business and they truly care about their reputation to do high quality honest work; the family is carrying on a legacy of great works. This is an outstanding company and their range of projects are creative and unlimited. It seems to me that every piece of work they install is a perfect, custom job. read more

My Purchase & Install for my Driveway Gate with "Creative Iron Works" was made easy By Dakota and his Father. My Situation: Narrow but long driveway (4 car length deep) but unable to utilize its full potential to park/utilize entire driveway while securing my Dogs to the backyard. I expressed my concerns and plans with using my narrow driveway and with there experienced suggestions for the gate location, functionality, options of style and the mounting of the gate to allow full usability of my driveway. Experience: Great!! Process was made easy like a 1,2,3 step process 1) In person appointment at my Home 2) Job walk, discussion of install and design/options and time frame. 3) Returned for Install, complete. It was that easy, I received exactly what we discussed. Finale note: I am more than pleased with the entire process and quality of materiel and workman ship, I am a Firm believer in "You Get What You Pay For". The gate is a solid/durable design with easy opening & locking operation. Coming home at anytime of the day is a relief of mind to park in my driveway and knowing my 2 Dogs are secure in backyard. I will be using Creative Iron Works for future projects. read more

I can't say enough about the work that was done by Dakota from Creative Iron Works. For many years I needed to replace an old falling wood post fence and wanted to do something special for my house.

Very creative and very professional. I plan to use them again for other iron works designs I need for my home. read more

My neighbor recommended creative iron works for my project. I needed a gate/ door for my patio. I wasn't sure of what kind of design to pick Dakota, the person who came to my house to take my order, suggested the design. It sounded nice, but I am a very visual person. I was expecting to see models of doors in person to make a decision. I saw only pictures and liked some, but I decided to trust Dakotas experience. the wait was a little longer than expected, but, boy! It was worth it. the door is beautiful and elegant. It exceeded my expectations. thank you very much, Dakota read more

What an amazing family they are, I can't say enough about what an absolute pleasure It was talking with them today while they worked.

I received two other estimates from other companies, and I am so glad that I chose this one. I would recommend this company to everyone, including my own family members. hands-down, five out of five!! read more
