The workmanship of Steel Creations is amazing!! Unfortunately that is the only positive thing I can say about this company. Similar to most of the other reviews, communication was horrible throughout the entire process. It was like pulling teeth from a hippo to get anyone to tell us when they were coming, what the plan was moving forward, there was no blueprint, no outline, no drawing or rendering prior to fabrication, no heads up when they actually came and started working while we were gone. We asked several times for a final walk through with the owner because there were several things we had paid for that never got finished. In order to get the job completed, we had to with-hold our final payment to get the job done correctly (which took about 6 months from start to finish.) We were also told that the missing items were "warranty issues" even though the job had never been completely finished. We also asked to have a final inspection because we were worried about a section installed extremely close to the edge of a rock retaining wall. We had asked the fence to be placed as close to the wall as possible while maintaining safety and security. We were told by the installers (18-20 year old boys mind you) that it would be sturdy and secure and there wouldn't be any issues. Lo and Behold, nearly a month after completion, the fence along the retaining wall fell down and ripped loose from the other panels and pulled the two small rocks it was "secured" to with it. We were fortunate no one was below the gate when it came crashing down as the weight alone would have been enough to crush someone. When we reached out to Shane, the owner, to make a warranty claim on what we felt was poor installation, he told us steel creations didn't warranty acts of nature and they would be happy to come repair our fence for a fee. Since that conversation, I have had three other fencing companies come give their professional opinion, as well as my insurance inspector and all 4 came to the same conclusion that the foundation for the gate was not secured beyond 4 little screws into a couple of 20 lb. rocks. They ALL said it would not have passed any of their standards of inspection for safety protocol. No concrete foundation, no support into the actual ground or down the rock wall, just attachment to a couple of rocks on top and no supervision. I am now having to pay $1000 to another company to come and do it the right way because Shane and Steel Creations don't care about their customers and will not stand behind their product. It is too bad, had there been ANY communication prior to or during the installation, every single on of these issues could have been resolved. I asked Shane multiple times when he demanded final payment to come do a final walk through so I could highlight things still needing to be done as well as chat with him about some of our frustrations with the lack of communication and the lack of customer input on the entirety of the project. Instead, Shane sent out a new project manager. The current company who is fixing the gate told us this was not the first time they had been tasked with fixing a poor job done by steel creations. Upon further review of their company, I discovered that they print out 3d renderings as well as a blueprint of the design prior to fabrication and consult with the clients to ensure everything is satisfactory to the customer's liking. What a difference that would have made!! They also set appointment dates and times that they honor and communicate when plans change with their customers. I wish I would've consulted them initially instead of Steel Creations to avoid a horrible experience and paying multiple times for the work to be done right. Live and learn I guess! read more
