When I did make the call to Neza, Armando visited our home and gave me a quote within the hour. About 32 hours later, the Neza team had installed custom fabricated, high quality, gorgeous railings at our place. I was and am pinching myself because the experience was so smooth and timely, and the work is so high quality. The price was very good, response time was obviously excellent, and the whole team are seriously skilled hard workers. They were a delight to work with, provided exactly the service I requested, and I will definitely call them again. I recommend them for any iron work you might need.

It looks like other people here have had a better experience, so perhaps our handrail project is too small or not enough profit. Several of the welders in the area have been pretty flaky, so perhaps there is a shortage - Sanchez Iron Works is the only one to follow through with a final quote out of 4 people I talked to about our project. I hate to knock any small business, but feel I need to be honest about my experience to help other people trying to get projects done.

When my original vision was too expensive, he worked with my budget to create a simpler design. But I love the final product! They convinced me to go for a painted finish versus powder coated, apparently powder coated rusts the whole rail more easily. The work is high quality, and they can customize your vision. Highly recommend & will work with them again!

I reached out to Local Gate Service initially I reached Ron (Dad) I explained to him my needs. I…read morehad an existing gate that was set up, strictly on a solar panel with batteries when the weather got bad cloudy days or when the solar panel got too much pollen on it or just got dirty. the gate would be super slow and it just wouldn't work. I had finally decided it was time to switch it over to a electric gate with battery back up. Ron understood my needs perfectly. He told me he would have his son Shawn Call me to discuss exactly what I needed done requested that I send him. Some pictures pictures were sent. SHAWN got back to me promptly told me what he felt was the best motor for the job which was a LiftMaster, which was a name that I'm familiar with as I've had LiftMaster garage doors for many years never had a single problem so I'm sure there reliability carried over to their GATE motors. Other companies have come out to give me a bid you'll see in the pictures attached below the existing motor they all told me that they would need to come and pour a concrete slab to mount the new LiftMaster motor that would take a few days and it definitely increase the price immediately just by looking at the pictures Ron had a different plan. He was able to have this plan because he has master welders part of his installation team, they thought outside the box and said now this will be a quick and easy job. You already have two posts that are sunk in the ground for the existing motor so on site they fabricated and welded a tray and then welded it to the two existing post so you'll see the new motor is suspended above the ground which I like better anyway kind of keeps rodents not wanting to go in there and just keeps the whole thing cleaner when I'm blowing out, unable to blow underneath it leaves and things their installation was on time because of the welding and not having to pour a slab they were in and out one day they painted the old gate they tested it. They provided me with three remotes and two keypads. I would not hesitate to call them again in the future for any other needs specially because their ability to think outside the box, manufacture, and weld on site. Shawn is the Son. He's the one that you'll do most communications with definitely very knowledgeable follows through calling explaining and made sure to let you know that they'll be there to stand behind the product and installation the entire warranty. And beyond in needed. Great family operation don't hesitate to give them a chance to assess your situation. LOCAL GATE SERVICE Ron & Shawn two thumbs up Five stars
