I have been meaning to write a review from the day the project completed but never got around to it. I am glad I was late to writing it. It started of as a 5-star experience and now it has become a 1-star and costly experience. JJ did a great job building the metal fence and guard rail and installing it. We were very happy with the work and told a few of our friends as well. Just less than a year into the installation, the fence started to rust. The paint started to peel off. A year into it, we hired another painter and he patched all the rusting locations and repainted the fence. It is little over 2 years now and it only has gotten worse. The fence is rusting in so many places that we have no choice to be hire a metal painter to remove the rust and repaint it. I heard this is going to be a costly job. As I am researching rust removal techniques, I am reading that we should apply a primer before painting it. If I remember clearly, JJ never seemed to have used a primer and that may be the reason that the paint on the fence and guard rails did not last even a year. We have guard rails in our balcony that came with the house and they have withstood the fog, rain and sun of the Berkeley weather. Even after 10 years, there is no sign of rusting. read more

See all

I was originally satisfied with the work but after 4 years I will need to give an updated review that the quality of the fence is disappointing. The wooden fence is not sturdy enough and that our door is no longer operational. The look of the fence is still ok. read more

This business is great! They installed an automatic vehicular gate for us at our business location about 4 years ago. They did an excellent job for a reasonable price! We have had no issues with the gate or it's operation. Recently I needed to change the entry code, Juan and Saul were very responsive and flexible about taking care of it. Highly recommend this business! read more

Came here to have my fence welded. Juan is very helpful and patience. I highly recommend Juan for any iron works. Very professional and reasonable. And the quality of his work is superb. Will come back again. read more

I called yesterday, and after sitting through the voicemail message their phone hangs up on me. All I wanted to do was get an estimate but it's impossible to reach them. read more

Juan came out to my home to give me an estimate. He took down notes and said he would send me the estimate. Fast forward 2 weeks and still nothing. I emailed to ask him and he said he was sick but would send it now. 1 week later and still nothing. So please don't waste your time with this business. I need my gate done and I don't have time to waste on business that will misuse your time. This is so unprofessional! read more

Great experience. They gave us a fair price for a large custom gate, and finished the job early. We were so pleased that we ordered handrails too, and they were also completed and installed ahead of schedule. Both the gate and railings look very nice. read more

My wife and I decided that we wanted a gate for our front yard so I did a search on yelp and found a few prospects. After getting three estimates something told me to get one more estimate, so I called Juan and got the best quote out of all of them. When we had a conversation about what style gate I sent a picture of the exact style we were looking for. And once Juan and his team started the job it was a efficient, thorough, and professional job! The details in the gate was identical to the picture I sent him, color, design, etc..The motor he installed on the gate had all the safety features along with the fact the electrical install was neat, hidden, and secure with no flaws. I can go on and on with how happy we are with the job jj iron work has done..so much that we're going to have him install a fence in our backyard. read more

greet job 100 % recommend he cut for me especial post for comercial electric clean job and quick job read more

This review is a little overdue, since I had JJ Iron Work out to install an automated gate for me several months ago. From start to finish, Juan and Saul were professional and delivered a masterfully crafted gate on time for the exact price that was quoted. They were less than any of the other quotes I received and even let me upgrade the type of motor that I used for my project. The finished product is a reinforced wooden gate that matches perfectly the existing parts of the wood surrounding my property and operates smoothly. Thank you Saul for your beautiful work! read more

I'm very disappointed in his work. We were charged over $3,000 for a new gate and a week later the gate started to rust. He used cheap material. Now, we are facing issues with the gate not even closing and opening. I had the wrost experience working with him. I would never recommend his service. read more

He knows what he is doing and did a good job reinstalling my old railing but is very expensive. It took 3 guys, less than 3 hours and I was charged $1200.00. I took off one star for that reason. read more

Excellent work, quick turnaround, very reasonable price to modify our sink. Thank you Saul!

JJ Iron Work did an amazing job on my fence. Juan is an over-all great guy. His quote was fair, he did the job in a timely manner and his workmanship is great. In fact he's the best contractor I've worked with so far too bad he doesn't do other work. I definitely plan to work with him again. read more

Juan is a strait shooter who knows what he's doing. I had all new iron railings for an Apt.building fabricated, painted and installed all for about $4500. Heavy duty, looked good and passed inspections. His workers are hard working and easy to work with. I have little tolerance for incompetence, and they passed w/ flying colors. read more

Juan called me back right away and stopped by to look at the incomplete fence and needed gate at our house that we finally want to finish. Urgency due to newly adopted dog. He completed the work within a week! One day to prep area and 2nd day to complete. Juan was fast friendly and professional. I am thinking of replacing white plastic fence previous owners put on back side of the home that looks out of place. Juan is coming out soon to give me a quote on that as well! read more

Got 4 bids for my job (including those on yelp with 60+ reviews) and picked J&J. The big fish in the gate and fence biz are overcharging 200% premium in this market. Try J&J for the same job. Saul installed 9ft motorized/automatic gate in my driveway, on budget, on time. Designed exactly to my specifications. Saul is very easy going, hard working, responsive person who is easy to work with. Highly recommended. read more

Getting what I want was a given. I'm praising JJ Iron Work for the amazing time frame & them doing a triple check for perfection. Juan & Saul, many thanks. I will be calling you soon. read more

Juan and his crew at J J Iron Work did a great job for me installing a metal fence and motorized gate at my house for a very reasonable price. The fence is beautiful. We are very happy with it. Making it all the better is that Juan is a great guy. The electrical wiring for the motorized gate wasn't completed yet when he installed the fence so he configured a temporary solution until the electrician finished the wiring. He even came by a couple times for free to follow up and make sure everything was working properly with the temporary fix. I would gladly recommend them to anyone. read more
