I recently worked with Efficient Ironworks and couldn't be happier with the entire experience…read more Paul, the owner, is truly exceptional. My deck has a lot of odd angles and was a complicated project, but Paul made everything feel easy. He was extremely communicative--texted me back right away, came out immediately to give me a quote, and always answered every follow-up question I had. It was genuinely a pleasure working with him. My custom-designed railing (64 linear feet) was hot-dip galvanized and took about six weeks from start to finish. Paul recommended a matte black finish because the hot-dip process can leave slight irregularities, but it ensures the metal will never rust. He was absolutely right--the final result is stunning. The railing was installed the day before my birthday party, and we made it just in time. All of my guests and neighbors were blown away by how beautiful everything turned out. Paul is professional, reliable, and highly skilled. I would honestly ignore any one-star reviews--they do not reflect the quality of his work or service. I look forward to hiring him again in the future for a security gate and more ironwork projects. Five stars, easily.

True to their name, Efficient Iron Works is wonderfully efficient. We had called several other iron…read morecompanies to fabricate and install our balcony railing - all were either too expensive or did not include installation. Thankfully we found Paul and Isaac at Efficient Iron Works. They worked with us to come up with a design that was clean, decorative, but not too ornate, and gave us several recommendations for what would look good. They were responsive, professional, and finished the job sooner than expected. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations and their price fit our budget.

I looked online but with shipping and everything it was just going to be way too expensive. So I knew I had to find someone local. I wasn't sure if he would have even take a job like this on but when I explained the project he said he would be more than happy to help me out and it sounded like a fun simple project. He was very communicative about the designs and kept in contact with me through out the process to make sure I was happy. He made a total of 4 signs for me and I'm pretty sure I brought home the best Christmas gifts since everyone is still talking about how beautiful they are :) thanks again, Jose! I added a picture as well. My family are all big New Orleans Saints fans and these signs couldn't be any more perfect!
