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

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!!

Sam and his dad at Exotic Iron Works transformed our front perimeter into a showpiece. From the…read morefirst on-site consultation they impressed us with thoughtful design suggestions--matching the gentle curve of the street, integrating warm hardwood caps, and spacing the balusters so the planting beds still breathe. Their craftsmanship is flawless: every weld is clean, the powder-coat is even, and the wood inlays sit perfectly flush with the metal frame. Sam's father personally checked each panel for plumb and level, and the team worked long days to finish ahead of schedule without cutting corners. They left the site spotless, even hauling away the old fencing and sweeping the driveway. Beyond the technical excellence, communication was a breeze. Sam texted progress photos, confirmed small details (hinge style, post-top finials) before committing, and honored the original quote to the penny. If you want ironwork that's equal parts art and engineering--delivered by people who treat your project like their own home--hire Exotic Iron Works. The results are stunning, and the experience is just as impressive.

The job was pretty swift, considering it was all custom. They measured carefully, and discussed potential issues with us and how we might like to work around them (mostly issues of our old house having walls not perfectly true, and of building codes having changed a lot since our former railing had been installed). All made sense and we came up with agreeable workarounds. They did initial fabrication on site, to make sure that everything fit perfectly, and then did the finishing work and painting off site. The final install was meticulously precise. The new railing is very sturdy. Photos show completed railing BEFORE we installed new finished flooring. It is bolted to the subfloor and to some reinforcement blocking that they installed under the subfloor for us, as well. Overall, we're quite happy with it. For something like this our goal had been to install a railing that will last for 50 years, and I think they met that goal for us.

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). Great customer service, competitive prices, and absolutely amazing work....you won't find better guys to help you with gates, grilles, railings, balconies, etc. I highly recommend Hovo and his team 1000%!!!
