    Shop drawing
    David G.

    My review is based upon a request for a quote for a minor home owner project involving a minimum of time, material and equipment. I sent a hand drawing detailing clearly and legibly what I was was looking for in 18-20 ga. metal commonly found in a sheet metal shop. I was given a quote of $500-600 for the project. WOW!! If the shop did not want to trifle with my project, they could have told me that they were unable to address my project and let it go at that. I am sorry to have disturbed their status quo. Thanks for nothing

    Amazing work by MCS Iron Works! Highly recommend if you are looking to add gates or doors with that special design. They are very honest, professional, and helpful with guiding you on the right design. Thank you Manuel and Team!

    Door handle of the pedestrian/ side gate.

    We chose MCS Iron Works due to their excellent customer service. Manuel Castillo and his crew did a fantastic job. Manuel was highly professional throughout the process and communicated everything. The gate was a bit expensive but well worth it, given the quality and professionalism. We will definitely be contacting MCS Iron Works in the future.

    Great experience working with MCS! They were nice enough to get our project in as quickly as possible to accommodate our personal schedule. Fair priced, 10/10 communication and customer service.

    I saw this rod iron door on Pinterest and my current door was outdated. I love using Yelp to research vendors and I found MCS Iron Works. I'm so happy with the end result! They use powder coating which protects it from rusting. Manuel is reliable, responds to messages promptly and walks you through the whole process. They broke down the fee into payments which made it easy on the wallet. The door took 12-15 week period and I'm supper happy with it! :D

    Great gate. Came out to quote right away and finished the project quickly. Great experience from start to finish.

    I had the pleasure of contacting MCS Iron Works back in June to request a quote for a gate. From the beginning, they impressed me with their prompt and courteous response. They came and visited my property to take measurements and discuss design options. I wanted the gate to match the one my father had made for me in front of my home. MCS Iron Works matched the design my father created and added a modern touch that gives it a contemporary look. The attention to detail in their craftsmanship is awe-inspiring. Every aspect of the gate was executed flawlessly, and the final product reflects their dedication to perfection. One of the things that stood out for me was their exceptional customer service. They kept me well-informed and updated on the project's progress. I had a business trip coming up and requested them to install the gate before I left. To my surprise, they accommodated my request and had it installed just in time. The installation was carried out with utmost professionalism. They ensured that the edges of the rail were perfectly flushed with the block wall, leaving no room for complaints. The result not only looks fantastic but also feels sturdy and secure. I cannot praise MCS Iron Works enough for their top-notch service and craftsmanship. They have transformed my vision into reality and delivered a product that exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a reliable and skilled iron works company, I highly recommend MCS Iron Works. Their attention to detail, outstanding customer service, and professionalism set them apart. I am thrilled with my new gate and will undoubtedly seek their services again in the future.

    We contacted Manuel and he immediately responded to our price inquiry. We made an appointment and he arrived on time. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and gave additional ideas to the front security door. He showed several pictures of his work and he provided a quote later that day. For the specifics regarding our project, he quoted a very reasonable price. Our door was custom made and all the material was high quality and the iron is thick gauge. The glass inserts are thick and securely placed in the doors. After completing the framing, they returned to our house to ensure the framing fit perfectly in the threshold of the entry. The powder coating is unblemished and the workmanship of the custom design is of the highest caliber. This company comes HIGHLY recommended.

    Repaired the gate to oem specifications, the hook lined up perfectly to where it was originally installed in 1980. Wild!
    Richard M.

    Quick quote, excellent service. Perfect repair to a messed up gate at a great price. These guys saved me thousands. Thanks! Better than I was expecting. I was just hoping to get the gate to close so I can lock it, they ended up lining it up perfectly, with precision. I just need to paint it now and it'll be brand new like it was in 1980. Awesome.

    From the moment I first contacted Manuel (based on his stellar reviews here on Yelp) I was incredibly impressed with his responsiveness, professionalism and organization. Manuel came out promptly to see the where I wanted the gate, brought lots of materials for me to look over and was very receptive to the vision we had for the gate. He made helpful suggestions based on the space and our needs then furnished me with a detailed timeline for the work complete with thorough breakdown of the costs. Manuel came when he promised. He delivered as promised. And he did it all with warmth, great communication and detail-oriented and proficient work. His father joined him on later appointments and he brought a world of experience with him that I also found invaluable; together these men make a great team! Because of Manuel's father, I even changed some of the colors and materials based on a suggestion he made and I'm so glad I listened! We are thrilled with our gate and can unreservedly recommend MCS Iron Works. We hope to use them in future and confidently assure you that you won't be sorry if you call them today!

    We chose MCS Ironworks after seeing the great reviews here in Yelp. Trust me, we made the right decision. We now have a beautiful custom iron side gate made exactly as we envisioned it would be. The craftsmanship is beautiful. We received a response to our initial inquiry in a timely manner. We met with Manuel and knew right then we were dealing with a honest businessman. The communication through this process was great. Manuel and his father took into consideration a special circumstance regarding my husband and accommodated us willingly. Thank you again! We were given a time frame from start to installation that was accurate. It took about nine weeks from start to finish which worked for us. We are planning to have a second gate built for our home in the months ahead and look forward to working with MCS Ironworks again.

    After refurbished by MCS

    MCS built our gate about 3 years ago, and we were extremely satisfied with their work ethics, and construction of a new gate. About 25-30 years ago, my mother purchased a beautiful (heavy) patio set and coffee table for the outside. It had been peeling in some areas. I want sure if Manuel refurbished patio furniture, but he said he did. Just received our patio furniture, and it looks better than purchased. Extremely happy with Manuel and his staff. Definitely will be referring him!!!

    Hired MCS to install a side gate at my home. Let me tell you that these guys did an absolutely amazing job. From the original estimate, they communicated the entire time. Not only is the gate stunning, it makes my house look so much nicer. You get what you pay for, and the quality and craftsmanship is second to none !!! Thank you !!!!!!

I first called on a Friday, and Joe and his crew were out the following Monday to begin the project. This was a huge job--more than 600 feet of fencing--and they completed everything by Thursday. I was very impressed with how efficiently they worked while still paying attention to detail. Even the city building inspector commented that they did a great job! Joe and his crew were friendly, professional, and easy to work with. There was never any sense of rushing the job--they took the time to do it right. Their pricing was also very reasonable for the amount of work completed. I highly recommend Villa Fencing if you're looking for quality work and a professional team.

Everything lines up nicely and feels well-built. Fair pricing and no hassle at all. I'd definitely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for fence work.

    Ranchero Fence - pictures from a year ago

    9/16 RESPONSE TO RAUL'S MESSAGE: The photos I posted are as…read morerecent as my review. Calling them "old" doesn't change the fact that the fence still looks like that. What's actually old is your year-long list of excuses for why you never came back to fix your own work. And really--racist? I've been nothing but patient while you strung me along for months. It's honestly appalling you'd even throw that word around when you know it isn't true. Let's also clear up this "whole team" you keep mentioning. Do you mean your dad? Because that's who showed up. I didn't even speak with him since I don't speak Spanish--which is why my Hispanic husband handled communication those two times he came out. So where you're getting "racist" from is beyond me, but it says more about you than it does me. Also, let's drop this "you just want free work" nonsense. I paid you--every single penny. On time. I even gave you a $1,000 advance before you finished when you asked. I have all the text receipts to prove it, so maybe double-check your memory before accusing me of not paying. And dragging your kid into this? That's just bizarre. I remember the one day he was here--sitting in your car on a hot day. I was the one who offered that he could come into the backyard or swim so he wouldn't overheat sitting in your car. If you're twisting that into me being "upset," then I don't know what to tell you. The only thing I've been upset about is your lousy workmanship and the fact that you refuse to stand behind it. Oh, and since you keep boasting about your "$7 wood"--both licensed fencing contractors I had out to assess the mess told me the same thing: that wood for fencing needs to be purchased in advance and allowed to set, because temperature and moisture cause it to shift. The fact that you just grabbed the wood that same day from Home Depot and installed it immediately explains exactly why it started warping. And no, it didn't cost you $7 a piece--let's not exaggerate when receipts exist. At the end of the day, I don't want free work. I wanted the work I paid for done correctly. You didn't deliver, and now instead of owning it, you're lobbing excuses, lies, and made-up drama. Unfortunately for you, the fence--and the texts--speak louder than your story does. If you spent half as much energy fixing fences as you do making excuses, we wouldn't even be here. ----- ORIGINAL REVIEW Do not hire Raul Hernandez (Ranchero Fencing / Golden Era Fencing / High Desert Affordable Fencing). I hired Raul Hernandez in May 2024 to build a modern fence. The project was completed in June, but only after multiple delays from him not showing up when he said he would. Within three months--by September 3, 2024--the fence was already showing serious issues. That started a year-long nightmare of back-and-forth with Raul. He made endless promises to fix his work, but rarely followed through. Over the course of an entire year: -His father came out twice (for only a few hours each time), but even admitted the job needed to be removed and redone. -Raul only came out once, after I pushed him repeatedly. -Because the fence was built with tongue-and-groove wood, it can't be "patched." The only fix is to remove and rebuild it. Instead of taking responsibility, Raul kept trying to shift the blame to his father--even though his dad only set the metal posts at the start, and Raul himself did all the woodwork. Every step of the way, it was excuses, no-shows, and broken promises. Finally, after a FULL YEAR of nothing, I asked for a refund. I obtained two professional quotes from reputable fencing companies, both over $6,000 to fix Raul's work (reusing the same metal posts). At first Raul agreed to a refund, until he realized how much it would cost him. Then he backtracked, claimed he would "work his magic," and when I declined, he started threatening court. He even bragged that he does liens and isn't afraid of legal action. We even tried to be reasonable by offering him a compromise of $4,000 (still leaving us $2,000+ out of pocket). He refused. At this point, we are taking Raul to court and filing a complaint with the CSLB for all three of his companies. To be honest, I imagine the repair work would not have been so substantial had Raul addressed the issues when I reached out to him a year ago. At this point, I have no patience left for him so any of his promises to "work his magic" is gone. Bottom line: Raul Hernandez is unprofessional, dishonest, and unreliable. His work fell apart within months, he wasted a full year of our time, and he refuses to stand by his word. Save yourself the stress and money--hire someone else.

    Strong wind blows out my fence. I called Rancho Fence and Raul showed up next day…read more He installed a new fence with very reasonable price in an hour. He is honest, work hard and very reliable person. I will strongly recommend him to anyone needs to install a fence or other fence jobs.
