So we had to rip out a huge hedge on our street, wanted to replace it with an ornamental iron fence to match the old-school gate on our 1937 Lake lodge. Compliment our neighbors hopefully. The first surprise is that IronSeattle is not even in the 20 listed above. Next, that Tom, the prop., doesn't give out business cards. Doesn't need to. Always has plenty of business. Word of mouth, very grateful someone told me. Next, that he almost never smiles. He's a perfectionist, constantly worried about making sure the project is as perfect as he can make it. Next, that he doesn't, ah, over-communicate. Call him and he's more likely to just show up at the job rather than calling first. Just get used to that, that's Tom. Next, how beautiful his work is despite the fact that there were and will almost always be semi-expected difficulties with your job that you both will work through. Not cheap, not excess cost. Tom is that rarity, an old-fashioned Honest Man. Not easy because suppliers and labor might not always match that. It comes down to Integrity. Lucky you if he takes your job. Drive down Riviera Pl. his work stands out. Thanks again, and yes the neighbors love the fence. read more
