I've used them twice now for a hand railing in my back and for my front porch. Clean work at a very good price. About to call them again for another job. read more

You can also bring in some small pieces to get them to weld it. They did it on the spot, and welded some frame pieces for me for $60, where at the other place it would be $90-$100, and usually it wouldn't get done the same day. So if you have a broken bike frame, or your favorite sword is busted, bring it here they'll do it for $20... Granted, it won't look new, due to discoloration - but it works. read more

This friendly duo in NE DC near Gallaudet are a great option for a variety of projects. We hired them to build and install security bars for our windows in a new house. We brought them a custom design idea, and they gave us a great quote (50% less than another estimate we received!), finished the work within a week, and installed the bars right away. They look great! We're planning to use YK welding again when we replace our ugly vinyl porch railing with some nicer ironwork or something. If you have any type of project requiring welding: security bars or security doors, iron fences or railings, etc., definitely get an estimate from these guys. read more

Wow we scheduled a time and they couldn't even be bothered to call and cancel. I then managed to get hold of them and they basically said that the work was too small for them to be bothered. If that is the case, don't make appointments with clients. read more

Y K did a fantastic job installing a wrought iron fence and gate for our rowhouse. Their estimate was about 1/3 cheaper than the other company we considered, in part because they were able to reuse much of the iron from a previous, poorly-installed fence. The workmanship was excellent and they even did a few repairs to our iron railings without charging extra. I'd use them again in a heartbeat. Our neighbors were so impressed that Y K booked at least 1 additional job on our block. read more

My architect husband designed our very cool iron stairs and porch rails. YK built the stairs fairly crooked and unlevel the first time but they fixed it when we pointed it out and we are very happy with the final product and the price. I will use them again. read more

I have used YK Welding twice over the past several years for metal window and door grates for my Dupont Circle apartment building, and I was very pleased with the results and the price. They were reliable and nice to work with, too. I came on Yelp to find out if they were still in business because I was having trouble contacting them for some additional work, but found a review as recently as a month ago so I kept trying. I finally got in touch with them today, and found out they are in the process of moving locations and also will be out of the country for a month starting in early October. So if you are a fellow loyal customer, don't despair. Just catch them after early November! read more

Ben came and reinstalled a window grate that had been cut down by overzealous contractors. He did a fantastic job and was very accomodating in his scheduling. I will definitely be using YK again for any metalworking work I need. read more

Terrific, prompt service. Note that they operate by way of cell phone, but call and someone will answer. We had new handrails (very durable, high quality) installed within a week's time -- somewhat urgent in our case, as I had parents visiting, one of whom has significant mobility issues, and one of the handrails had rusted through without our knowledge until the last minute. read more

I showed up at their location after calling to make sure that they were open on Saturdays. They were closed and when I called they said they had had an emergency. They promised on numerous occasions that they would come by and never did. read more

I decided to go with YK after 3 different estimates. They suggested a certain design, which I didn't want. I showed them a picture of something I found and they matched it to accommodate me without a problem. They were able to speak code and made sure what we planned is the standard for measurements and safety. The price beat the competition and they came the day we scheduled. The rain didn't stop them from starting the job, although they had to come back next day due to nature (understandable). They did the job as best they can due to the landing being uneven. They were experienced, prompt, clean, and hardworking (father and son) crew. Great job guys! read more

YK did a great job! we had two window gates and two front door gates that needed mesh welded to the outside so that we could add a thumblock mechanism that could be opened from the inside without a key. the mesh was so that no one could open the lock from the outside. they were less expensive then two other contractors. Ben is coordinates everything and works great with Mr. Yoo. Mr. Yoo speaks korean, but Ben translates. They did exactly what they said they would do and werevery presice and carefull. I would recommend them for anyone who needs welding done. read more

We used YK recently to install security bars on our windows and doors. The quality of their work was fantastic, and the price is definitely reasonable. Highly recommended and if we need ironwork/welding in the future we will very likely use them for it. read more

Ben and his partner got me all set up with custom welded security doors and windows in 4 days---and customer service was fantastic, the quality is great--and the price was very reasonable. I felt very luck to have found this company, and I highly recommend them. When you are searching for contractors via the net and word of mouth, you never know what will happen--and this was a wonderful experience. read more
