If so, Staci Southwick at Functional Steel Objects is your answer. Staci and her partner in crime G have custom fabricated window bars for my new loft (I live in West Oaktown, you can never be too safe) and a killer powder-coated stainless steel ladder for my loft complete with dual railings and polished Douglas Fir steps. This thing really is the shit! The SHIZ-NIT as a matter of fact. And both of my projects were completed in a timely, professional manner at reasonable prices considering the very high standard of workmanship and attention to detail. Check out Staci's website for examples of her work, and keep in mind that wood of any type/size/color/finish can be added to a project to create another subtle dimension and help your new steel masterpiece blend into almost any space.

The design was functional and complimented the current aesthetic environment. We are very pleased.

Not only is he extremely pleasant to work with, he is professional in every way - here on time and amazingly efficient in completing this welding job. He was meticulous in measuring and thinking through what needed to be done and making sure that it was absolutely correct.

He had to come from Oakland to SF which was very much appreciated. I had some drawings prepared for him to review and quote so he was able to quickly give us a price for a pair of wrought iron handrails for the front of our house. His family run the business so he was familiar with what they are capable of doing as well as catering to our design requirements. Armando was so gracious and knowledgeable it was refreshing to speak to someone who knows what they are doing. I felt very comfortable with him. Sadly we did not choose Neza as we did get a competitive bid from another fabricator which I also was very pleased with. I contacted Armando as soon as possible to let him know and he replied graciously. If you need ornamental metal work please give Neza a chance since they are customer focused and well rated in Yelp. Ask for Armando!!

Beautifully sculpted from a steel reinforced base structure, rolled steel tubing, and perforated steel "scaling," the overall project was completed in record time and under budget while *far* exceeding my wildest possible expectations. I simply can't say strongly enough how fantastic it was to work with Ryon and how amazing his work is, both technically and creatively. You can see a daytime shot of Bahamut on the playa here: http://instagram.com/p/gGoAyorZ-U/ And an illuminated/nighttime shot here: http://instagram.com/p/gGn7v5LZ-O/ While it was everything I could have asked for and more, I'm now looking forward to working with Ryon later this year to give Bahamut the gift of fire for next year's trip to the playa! ;-)

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
