Mr. Anthony did great work. Came with an assistant and fixed the railings. Doesn't shake anymore and is professionally done. Highly recommend. R&A Welding for fixing metal/iron type of work! Great job! read more

Poor communication. Sloppy work. I chose them for the slightly lower price. But other companies planned a more complete job at a slightly higher cost. My mistake. As for his response about his clear communication, you can be the judge, if you take the chance and call him. Your choice. read more

R & A Welding - As I wrote, SLOPPY work. He spray painted black paint, so it made stains on a wall that was freshly painted just a couple of days before. - Metal Fabricators Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The photo I uploaded is what I really wanted & never got. Trickery was the game being sold to me, with false hope. I was offered a bait & switch item while being played for months. It's so sad that some workers think being deceitful is a way to do business. I'm glad I was ghosted by this guy I first thought he was so nice, even though he also rescheduled our 1st appt for a measurement at the last minute. I'm grateful he did not get a dime from me, but he sure was ready to pickup my deposit. I took my business elsewhere. A reply to your ranting lengthy words. I'm a Senior Tech Savvy Lady almost 60. I have no reason to lie about you. You only came to my home 1 time & I welcomed you & we talked. I showed you a ready deposit check to give once the order was written up. So crying & whining about gas is not working. We communicated only by texts & emails. I immediately chose the project & was happy. But you wanted to give another available fence, which I didn't want. So that's when I was ghosted. When I tried calling, you would never answer, only voice mail came on. Customers when you expose the demon in folks they got a lot of untruths to say. Just trying to make themselves look good & worthy, " But You Failed. " Touche !! read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Dishonest sales person Anthony. Poor quality of product. Sloppy workmanship. Mechanics have no respect and damaged my property. 6 service dates planned with Anthony for resolution were all, no shows, no call, no text. Numerous text over the month for resolution. Excuses: Truck broke down. Car broke down. Got into an accident. Finally Anthony stopped responding to any of my text. Don't waste your money, your time or your energy. read more

I have been waiting a long time to write a review as I generally give all vendors the benefit of the doubt. However, it's been eight months since we had a stair bridge installed. Granted, I went with R&A because they were the cheapest (maybe too cheap). I currently have an expert (ex-NYC bridge builder) working, priming, painting, and leveling the work. Here are the issues I had: The stairs were installed with an approximate 2-inch slant (that's more than rainwater runoff, as I was told by the installers) Puddle in the bottom of all stairs (so much for rainwater runoff) The stair was supposed to be built for one side sitting on a concrete deck, the other in the dirt. The dirt side has been settling further, increasing the slant. The stairs are already completely rusty. The metal wasn't primed. The paint used was likely a cheap Rustoleum. Not pro products. The guys were friendly and service-minded. However, it is a bummer to pay a premium for a product to make sure it's up to code, only to get something that is sub-code and that you could have made for $2500 less in wood and had it be more refined. They did promise 4 months ago to come have a look at it. But nothing so far, hence me contacting a local expert to have it brought up to code and treated to last more than a couple of years. read more

I was so happy with my initial install: 5 stars. Since then, I have taken off three stars because, when a problem arose with the fence and the alignment several months later, they were no-shows and somewhat unresponsive after a dozen communication attempts that I kept initiating. After months of waiting for R&A to come and see what the issues were with the fence, I ended up hiring someone else to fix the damage (caused by a neighbor after they detached a portion of my fence that R&A soldered onto theirs [to stabilize my fence post] when my neighbors installed a new fence themselves) as well as this install, which was nowhere near deep enough to begin with (so of course the fence and gates began falling into each other and none of them closed or locked without further lifting, pushin, and pulling, which then, in turn made the fence stability worse and worse). I tried and tried and tried for months (I have the proof!), but the more I waited, the worse the problem got. Despite my best hopes to the contrary, R&A proved through their (in)actions, that they wree clearly not going to be my solution. Their initial install looked great and the fence itself was strong, but the foundation for the posts were sub-par in depth and led to an entire re-install, having to drill 18 additional inches into the ground (including removing a prior fence post that R&A worked around but didn't remove), and soldering an extension of the fence posts to make them as stable as they could have and should have been the first time. I know R&A is very busy (we all are), but I don't think waiting for months and being told "I'll be there on Thursday at 11am" for several weeks in a row (with a no-show each time) is at all acceptable. I paid a pretty penny to install the fence initially, and paid to have it repaired yesterday. I wanted to pay R&A to do so, but they didn't even come by to see what happened to their own install. I'm sorry to have to write this less-than-stellar review, but I am just being as honest when things got bad, as I was when things seemed to be great. read more

7/5/18 - He advised it's raining tomorrow, so he changed it to Saturday. 7/7/18 - He finally comes to do the installation for the doors, but he says he will finish the fence on Wednesday. 7/10/18 - He asked if we could reschedule to Thursday, the day before and saying it is more convenient for them. I said I have meetings and I can't since I planned everything around Wednesday. I told him we have prolong this way too long and the door design is not even what was discussed. I told him that I can't just keep switching days, since when he was here on Saturday, he said Monday, and then he switched it to Wednesday and now Thursday. He now agrees to stick to Wednesday. I want to address the fact that I was under the impression that Anthony was a 5 star business because of Yelp, and this is what I expected, but did not receive. Would I recommend him, he wouldn't be my first choice, but I am speaking straightly that my advice is don't expect anything and then you'll be happy. He did finish the front door, back door, and fence, however, it took 3 months instead of 5 weeks later after signing the contract. He didn't provide the correct colour, nor the correct design of the tip of fence, or the correct design of the door and wrong fence closure. We have asked for a lockable door fence, but he provided a cane bolt instead and hard to open to get in and out. When we mentioned the mistake, he pulled the same game that he did with the paint colour that he would need to charge us $130, but he would do us a favour and put in the single lock for free. How could it be free if all these designs and asks were already agreed upon during the signing? Anthony - I said I was going to write a review and I did as promised. Don't take this the wrong way, this is a constructive criticism and you should work on being organized and figure out how to properly retain information that your clients' asked for and if you can't do it. Speak up, but don't wait until the last minute and pull out a story saying either you don't remember or that's not possible. Because I mentioned what I liked as the tip of the fence and it was a very simple design, nothing intricate, because I called out on how those designs has a weak point in the design. I am not trying to hurt your business, but I want you to be accountable for your mistakes. I am not here to tell people don't use you. I would use you again, now that I learned how you operate. I would print samples of images and give it to you in a folder rather than me showing it to you and trusting you that you took notes on it and I would keep sending you those images to keep them fresh in your mind. I would not expect you to finish in a speedy manner and I would have to be firm with you regarding a solid date, since people work and can't just work off of what is convenient for your truck route. I have no ill feelings towards you, and I wrote this review to not give people false expectations, because that is what happened to us. Overall Yelpers - you just have to be Anthony's project manager and make sure he's on track and remind him of what you want. I am not knocking his workmanship, but this is strictly on the service and execution and client's requests. read more

My front gate and my driveway gate were broken and wouldn't close I came onto yelp to find a company that repaired iron gates and Anthony the owner reached out to me right away with a reasonable quote. We set up an appointment for the following morning for him to come out and do the job, he was on time, very professional and did an excellent job fixing my gates. I'm very pleased with the entire experience and I highly recommend this company they are amazing at what they do. read more

Being a first time home buyer as many can relate I was very hesitant and picky to hire just anybody to do the railing of my backyard. Fortunately, my coworker recommended R&A iron work. I called for an estimate and they arrived the next day. Anthony was very professional,patient, and honest with the work that needed to be done. I was very pleased with the pricing and they started the job a week later. Let me just say that I am completely satisfied and happy with how efficient, and prompt they were. Anthony and his workers met all my expectations. I recommend R&A to anyone that is looking for a job well done! Thank you so much!!! read more

R&A's services were great. I had lots of questions regarding the gates. He was very communicative and did the job just how I wanted for a reasonable price. I would definitely work with them again. Definitely would recommend R & A Welding. read more

Beautiful railing, no surprises. There were several different options, clearly sketched out, and when requested, Anthony showed me pictures so I could choose the style I liked. He said it would take about two weeks for them to make it, but it was less, then they came and put the railing into our concrete stoop in about an hour. It's exactly the right height for holding onto as you go up (we are getting old and really need that). It looks like it's always been there (which is what I was going for) and he accommodated the posts up to the awning, and talked me out of replacing them. That's an honest contractor. Sweet guy, good price. read more

Anthony was great to work with. I had a broken hinge on my iron gate door, causing part of the door to come off the tract. He promptly answered my call, asked me to text him pictures, and gave me an extremely reasonable quote -- all with 15 minutes. He then came the next day, and was early! He fixed the issue within an hour and even fixed another issue with my iron property fence that I pointed out for a few dollars more. Will definitely use him again! 5 star service! read more

These guys are so amazing. They fixed the door for us and we installed an video intercom.

Wasted my day waiting for them to show up. Just lost some business buddy.

We hired R&A to remove some iron security gates from our windows. They were affordable and were able to schedule an appointment the next day. They made sure they knew exactly what we wanted done and got it done just as we requested. I appreciated the care they took to not damage the walls while moving the very heavy gates through our apartment and the building stairway. read more

Anthony was very patient with all my questions via text. Always responded quickly. He was available when i asked for the gate to be done by. Very nice work. Very happy with the outcome. I highly recommend him. Thank You Anthony! read more

Great communication, he did a wonderful job, and did it fast and worked around my schedule. He created a box for my a/c in a window that has iron bars. Highly recommended. Thanks so much! It all works well - ready for next weeks heat wave! read more

Anthony's great. He was very quick to come and give me an estimate. He honored his estimate and the complete job was finished in only a few days after we initially spoke. read more

The price for the window guard to use with a a/c is as Anthony said. And the job was completed as promised. Anthony was super nice and professional. I had my toddler around from beginning to end and he didnt seem bothered, even when my toddler accidentally put Anthony cash in water. read more

Anthony was supposed to come to my Queens house and give me an estimate for a railing for my house. He didn't show. So I called him. He apologized and said that his secretary should have called to say he couldn't make it (she didn't). He promised that someone would get back to us and reschedule, no one did. read more

I don't usually write reviews as often but i have to because my job till today looks in great condition like if it was done today. I'm very skeptical when it comes to just allowing any company to do any of my iron work needs or even worst recommending it to my friends but this company, hands down to them!!! I finally found a good company that I can trust, does a great job and my money is worth. Thank you so much! read more

Highly recommend this company. Responsive to my inquiries, fair pricing and prompt service. I got exactly what I needed for a fair price. The installation was well done as well. Will definitely use these guys again. read more

R & A did the ironwork in front of our house and built a new iron stairway leading from our kitchen to our backyard. We were really pleased with their work and would recommend them to anyone looking for a fence, stairway or other iron job. Anthony was responsive and the turnaround time was pretty quick (they take measurements, build it out in their shop and them come back for installation). The entire job was completed in about 2-3 weeks. Thanks Anthony. read more

Completed the job as promised at the agreed upon rate. Very professional and helpful!

I needed a job done and was referred to R & A by a neighbor. It was a small job and it was taken care of promptly, efficiently and with skill. I just used them again for a brownstone gate modification, Anthony understood exactly what I needed. Fabrication was doe in one day and installation efficient and speedy. He always finds something else that needs to be fixed that you may have overlooked because it is minor. He takes time out to resolve what ever problem it may be. read more

Had a fence installed today iron work on my front gate aswell. Phenomenal job great group of guys definitely recommend

Felt like a bit of a bait and switch. Not a professional experience at all. Had to live with a product I didn't order since the deposit was already taken and product was brought for install . We would have lost money since they were not amenable to fixing. read more

Anthony work with my schedule and did an excellent job fixing the metal handrails. He was upfront with price and show up on time. Would use them again. read more

Very fast installation from time of order compared to other suppliers. The installation was done neatly and it looks great! The fence around front of house and the gates that lead into front garden are just what I was looking for with just the right amount of ornamentation (nothing too flashy!). They nailed it! I randomly came across their number on Yelp and gave them a shot and I am glad that I did - I would definitely use this company again. read more

The job was done efficiently and on time as promised. Customer service was great and I am satisfied with the work.

Excellent service very helpful and on point. I was very happy with their work. Def recommend them
