Mitch W

Great gates! Great service! Reasonable price! We had Paul make and install a duel custom wrought iron driveway gate, with duel electric openers, and a matching pedestrian gate. The gates are beautiful and exceeded my wife's and my expectations, and the fabrication and installation were on time. I highly recommend Efficient Iron Works.

Paul the owner was great. Kept me updated on progress of railing. He had to make a curved railing for our home. It turned out magnificent. I’m a happy camper!

Iron works is a very professional business. This year I did a porch remodel and the contractor I worked with couldn't complete the railing portion. I reached out to Iron works and they completed a custom job and expedited their work to have my porch remodel completed on time. I recommend this company for custom Iron projects and remodels and I recieve so many compliments on the porch railing.

Paul created an amazing custom handrail and gate for us! His expertise and guidance ensured a perfect fit, exceeding our expectations. His innovative idea for our stairs surpassed our original vision, and his patience in explaining various options was truly appreciated. Attention to detail, quality materials, and excellent installation make this a standout piece. Highly recommend for any custom metalwork projects, we can't thank Paul enough for this craftsmanship and expertise!!

Paul and his team are true artists and a wonderful company to work with. We are very particular with our Spanish modern design iron details and Efficient Iron Works made it come to life. The handmade iron detail on our windows were better than imagined. The shining star was certainly the staircase. There were several different aspects of our design we asked for, a custom designed newel post AND some tricky (un-level) curves to tackle. The install and process was fluid and with clear communication and the result left us speechless and in awe. I will post finished photos once the project wraps... but for now, enjoy Paul and his teams stellar craftsmanship. Amazingly easy, flexible, reasonable and kind people. Do not hesitate to jump into a project with Efficient Iron Works!!!

Recently had an outdoor railing installed on stairs. Great experience. Timely scheduling for measurements and installation after powdercoating, professional, good choice of railing types and colors to powdercoat, great price. Highly recommended!

So this review is long over due. I want to start off by saying (the owner) Paul is an absolute top not professional. From start to finish Paul was great to work with. We started our project when the pandemic first hit. Like many other projects during this time, our upper level renovation took much longer than expected. Paul was completely understanding and worked closely with us to align our schedules to make sure everything was installed correctly and on time. We worked together on this custom design to come up with something that matched our mid century modern interior aesthetic. We had inspiration photos as references, and Paul went with it to create something totally unique, and we couldn’t be more happy. If you’re on the fence about choosing a contractor for any iron work that needs to be done, I can assure you that you will have no regrets with EIW and Paul! Affordable, accommodating, and 100% professional!
