I wanted to replace my old wooden gate with a new iron gate, so I reached out to 6 different…read morecompanies to gather some estimates. In the end, Forgeways was my very close second-place choice only because their estimate was a bit higher, but their communication was top-notch and extremely professional. Forgeways' Frank arrived promptly and took many notes on my homemade gate design. After receiving his digital estimate, Frank texted photos of a similar gate currently being installed elsewhere, which demonstrated their craftsmanship and care to detail, and he included questions regarding my initial custom design to make sure he fully understood my design. Even though I didn't end up hiring them in the end, Frank's professionalism and communication were on point, proving that Forgeways is 100% worth your consideration.

The steel plate on my wrought iron front gate was dented and scratched during outdoor remodeling…read morelast year. The paint was terribly faded and I was looking into powder coating it. I didn't want a fresh powder coat job on a damaged gate, so I Yelped for welding services close to me. I called Precision Welding and Adan answered and came over to my house within the hour. He was going to give me an estimate for replacing the steel plate. The gate is a little smaller than 4' x 6'. To my surprise, he told me they could take it over to his guy that does powder coating. That sealed the deal for me. We texted back and forth and we set up an appointment to get the job done. My gate was removed on a Tuesday and was reinstalled as good as new by Friday afternoon (I was told Friday, Saturday at the latest). This was important to me because I have three dogs and a pool. I'm old school and like to have a written contract, but I realize that nowadays texting serves the same purpose. Great craftsmanship, excellent communication, great value, all in timely fashion. I highly recommend Precision Welding. As a bonus, I had my spring replaced with a self closing hinge. I have needed that for decades. The old setup would slam shut, especially on windy days, cracking the brick wall. I've been afraid I would have to replace my wall. Note that the side rails need to be painted. We didn't want to remove them because they are inside my new pavers. I received a can of paint and will do that myself.

I used them a second time to put a railing on a balcony that faces the street. We had an open picket railing and wanted something that would give us more privacy.

I will use them again without hesitation.

I spent months calling various patio furniture shops in the greater Los Angeles area seeking someone who could help me repair these chairs, to no avail. I was giving up any hope of being able to use these chairs again. I used Google Gemini AI to find Steve of LA Welding and Repair! I called and Steve answered the phone. I described my problem and Steve said he could HELP ME! Yikes unbelievable! I live in Pasadena and he offered to pick up the chairs at my residence, repair them, and return them. It was seamless. Just as promised he picked up the chairs and returned them repaired the following day. The fee was reasonable and the repair was perfect. I would highly recommend LA welding & repair. He also does wrought iron gate repairs and other projects. I will be using him in the future based on my experience. Thank you, Steve

I had two wooden manual gates that I constantly had to open, and I reached the point where I was…read morecompletely tired of doing it by hand. I decided to find a few vendors to install automatic gates for me, and I knew I wanted aluminum because it is much lighter and requires far less maintenance. I always have my assistant contact at least three vendors to compare pricing and to get a sense of whether they are truly knowledgeable. My assistant found two of the vendors and I gave her the information for IRON MEN gates to schedule the appointment. From the moment Elad came out on day one, I was extremely impressed. He has a genuine, down-to-earth personality, and he was serious, professional and clearly knowledgeable about every aspect of the project - exactly what I wanted to accomplish with my gate. The other vendors were much more focused on sales and pitching, rather than taking the time during the initial walkthrough to thoroughly review what I wanted. Elad's proposal was also significantly better in quality and detail. The turnaround time was fast, and it included clear drawings and detailed information about what would be done--something I had not seen from any other vendor I've hired for work around my house. At that point, I knew I wanted to move forward with them. There was some negotiation on pricing, but ultimately I felt the final cost was absolutely worth it. Once I signed the proposal, everything went into motion immediately. They ordered the materials and maintained strong communication throughout the entire process. Elad responded quickly whenever I reached out, and when questions or concern came up, he always had solutions and worked with me. I also had several change orders. They were very patient and accommodating, and importantly, they handled my requests without delaying the completion date by an additional month (which is common with many vendors). They were able to schedule everything effectively and still complete my gates with minimal delays. Every team member who came out -- electrician, the two smooth stucco pillars crew, and the aluminum gate installation team -- was professional, polite, and respectful. Construction projects are stressful by nature, but they were genuinely the easiest vendor I have ever worked with. The best part is that my aluminum gates look incredible. Everyone who passes by my home has commented on how good they look. I have only left a few reviews in my lifetime, and I rarely do unless a vendor truly exceeds expectations. I am very particular and somewhat of a perfectionist, so it was not easy for me to find someone I considered exceptional --but this was absolutely one of those cases. Elad listened carefully to what I wanted to create and brought it to life. They completely out-shined, out-performed, and out-classed them all. I am a very happy customer and will definitely be a returning customer!!!

Way to go Iron Men!

The finished gate is beautiful, extremely well made, and exactly what we were hoping for. You can really see the quality of the craftsmanship and attention to detail in the finished product. Sam was fantastic to work with -- professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure we were happy with everything. His crew was just as impressive. They completed the entire installation in one day, kept everything clean and organized while they worked, and left the area spotless afterward. They even removed and hauled away our old gate, which made the entire process completely hassle-free for us. We are beyond happy with how everything turned out. The new gate has made such a huge difference to the front of our home, and we've already gotten compliments on it. Definitely matches our Spanish style house. If you're looking for beautiful custom iron work and a company that takes pride in what they do, I highly recommend Sam and Exotic Iron Works. Excellent work and an excellent experience from beginning to end!

They are beyond versatile (do all kinds of iron work), as well as being skilled artisan craftsmen. Sam and his dad (a master iron craftsman) are the loveliest of people-- communicative, honest, easy to deal with, and invested in doing the best work possible. They take great pride in their work. It took me years to find someone who could imagine the kind of railing design I needed for my 1926 uneven unique wall. No one but their company suggested this design and were able to pull it off without a hitch. The pictures speak for themselves. Look no further if you are wanting a fantastically skilled company, reasonable prices, and gems to work with. THANK YOU EXOTIC IRON WORKS!!

They are extremely punctual and pay attention to detail. If I could give them ten stars I would. We needed protection grilles for our 19 windows and a balcony railing. Within a couple of days we had our estimate, and within the next week they returned and took measurements. We were afraid that the house would look like a jail but their unique and elegant design made it more like a decorative piece for our windows than just protection bars. Hovo and his designer came up with custom design with cool accents by the first try. Believe me, their iron craftsmanship is stunning, solid, and second to none. The grilles fit the windows perfectly and have brought our house value up (no joke).
