Armitage Welding

Armitage welding use to get 5 stars from me but they are down to one. Thanks for coming out to take measurements and never getting back to me with a quote. I’ve called several times and sent emails and text messages and never received a response. Going on over a month now. I guess my money isn’t green enough.

Really, really good customer service. Mauricio took a a good amount of time to explain all the different options available for my gate. Once I decided what I wanted, he did a wonderful job — very tidy and elegant!
Also, I really appreciate their straight forward pricing regardless of where you live.
Thank you!

Called this company for a quote on some security fencing. Nice guy came out to measure. I waited a week and called them. I was told they would call me back. Never called. I called two weeks later… trying to give them my money!!! No call back. Oh well, I’ll try another company. These guys don’t seem to have their act together.

Needed a iron bed frame fixed. Fixed it right away for a reasonable price. Would use them again.

I had a frustrating experience with Armitage Welding. Their biggest problem is communication. They selectively reply to emails and rarely answer their phones. I had scheduled a consultation to look at adding support to the floating metal stairs in my home. They wrote my address down wrong, missed the appointment and didn’t call /​leave a message to inform me. After getting a hold of them, they sent someone out right away. The contractor I spoke with had a few ideas on how to add support to the stairs (the other metal worker I ended up going with had WAY better suggestions). The contractor said his company would get back to me with some estimates based on the options we discussed. They never called me back, returned my calls or returned my emails. Overall a very frustrating waste of time with an unprofessional, low quality company.

Excellent service! Armitage Welding has been in service for over 30 years. They were able to help me with my broken Armillary. If you have a need for welding services, I recommend «Armitage Welding»…

Don’t even waste your time. Numerous calls just to setup and get facts straight (was hung up on twice with receptionist saying ‘uh huh, uh huh, okey, byeeee”).
Didn’t show up for job, called back, no answer, called back later in the day, no answer. Never a returned call.
I moved on to one of the other 100 positively ranked business on Unilocal — first group I called answered and came to fix my issue.

These guys were awesome! We had two springs put on our front rod iron gates. They were able to come when I was not at home and did a great job! Reasonable price too!

Armitage welding is a life saver. They are one of a few places you can order custom steel angles, which are needed if you are building a deck to chicago code. Their prices are also the lowest — even better than Menards. They have also come out to my building and installed a gate and changed four locks on other gates, again the price and welding quality was excellent. I hope they stay successful, as the metal shop is a one of a kind where you can find almost any steel angle, channel, bar or rod to fit your needs.

Armitage Welding came out and fix my iron rod fence gate.
Making the appointment was easy, especially considering I do not live in Chicago anymore and the welder had to coordinate with one of my tenants for repair and payment.
They did a good job in a timely fashion. The price was @225, as quoted. No hidden charges and fees.

I have had several sets of keys made here before. They all worked wonderful.
I went today to get 1 copy of 3 different keys.
I got home and only 1 of the keys worked. I went back to the store. They redid the other 2. I get home again, 1 more of the keys works, but the 3^rd still doesn’t work.
I went back to the store a third time today. The lady lined the keys up, said they match, and when I told her again that it didn’t work and I had tried it several times, she took the copy and gave me my $ 1 back.
Very disappointing. I thought this was a great reliable key making place walking distance from my condo, but apparently it isn’t. I will never get keys made here again after today’s debacle.

I had a great experience with these guys, I needed a mailbox installed on my iron gate and they were ready to come out the same day to install! I had other plans, so made an appointment for the following Saturday, they said they’d be there between 930 and noon to do the work, and you know how that usually means 1pm? Not for these guys, they were there at 930 and done in 15 minutes. The guy also did some adjustments to my gate so it opens/​closes much better. I tried to give him an extra $ 20 for fixing the gate AND HE WOULDN’T TAKE IT!
I would call them again in a heartbeat.

This place is full of inspiration for the loft living crowd.
I went here with a customer for some «material» (iron brackets) to mount a large mirror. She lived in a loft, & liked the iron industrial look, so an iron angle bracket was just the thing.
We stopped together, she picked out the size & profile of bracket she wanted, they welded it together, I picked it up later, & installed it. Everyone was happy.
Their prices are fair, the service & quality of stuff that they have is very good.

Is this place ever open??? Everytime I try to go it is freaking closed!
