The Amazing Artist Ironman
Ricky (Enrique Ledezma) is not just another ironworker or blacksmith; yet, he is an artist who can shape and form the wrought iron to create works of art. Ricky can make the wrought iron sing! I often end up hiring great contractors and Ricky is no exception. Ricky was highly recommended to me by Cesar (C&R Pavers) who is a wonderful contractor himself. My latest project was to build a front courtyard. I have designed the complete courtyard to the detail using the engineering skills of my better half. So basically she engineered it and I designed it. For this project, I needed various crew and contractors such as construction, electrical, furniture and ironworker. This is where Ricky came in.
Ledezma Ornamental consists of Ricky (Owner), Simon (Supervisor), Dora (secretary /​admin) and two ironworkers. Ricky comes from a family of ironworkers. He is the youngest brother of the ironworkers. Ricky has over 30 years of experience in the field, working with other companies and his family’s company. A couple of years ago, he created his own company. This is how Ledezma Ornamental was born. Ricky is a master ironworker. His work is his art. Ricky’s art is gorgeous, and strong. Ricky is a very detail oriented artist. He uses top of the line material (no cheap junk) and he takes his time to do his creations. Ricky’s deadline for the job was the maximum of 4 weeks and he finished it before the deadline, so Ricky is also very punctual.
Ricky is not cheap but for the work he does, his prices are a bargain! You cannot get this quality of work at these prices. You can hire cheap blacksmith who will hand you deranged, crooked and ugly fences, gates. Balconies and stairs which will last a few years before loses its beauty, but then again, you can hire Ricky at his reasonable price to create long lasting works of art for you which all your friends, family and neighbors will admire and you will never get tired of looking at them! Ricky is simply one of the best in the trade.
Simon is Ricky’s protégé and right hand man, trained and bloomed by Ricky. Simon is a work in progress learning from the master. Simon is a fabulous supervisor, very detail oriented and as much of a perfectionist as me. Some of the pickets (spear heads) of the spears in my fences were crooked and I was about to tell him to align them and straighten them; however, he was a step ahead of me and he checked and rechecked every single one of them on top of the fences and gates to make sure everything is in perfect shape. He recut some, reweld some and aligned some and made sure that they were perfect.
Dora is a wonderful admin and pleasant to work with. Labors are hard workers and doing great work.
For this project, I required Ricky to produce 2 gates and 6 fences (on top the walls and in between the columns) for me. Ricky galvanized the iron, used semi gloss paint and top of the line locks and handles. I handed him my designs to the detail and he created exactly what I wanted. This was not an easy design to create. The center pieces (Kokopelli the Indian God of music, dance and fertility) were difficult to make and the fences required spears, circle rings and arches. All gates and fences were perfectly arched, picketed (spear heads) and spears were exactly parallel to the detail. You can just look at them and tell that they were built like tanks and they are heavy duty and shiny. Every single neighbor who passes by, admires my ironwork and some even take pictures of my courtyard. Ricky’s art made the courtyard to shine (literally)!
You want amateur work, go to South Bay near the border and hire some fled by night blacksmith to make you cheap junk, Tijuana Mexican Style; however, if you seek perfection, hire Ricky and he will produce fine art of Spanish Style!
You cannot find a better ironworker with this quality of work and at these reasonable prices than Ricky. Obviously he has passed my test. I am a detail oriented perfectionist and if Ricky passed my test, then I highly recommend him to all. Go for it, hire him and make your neighbors admire his creations. I’ll guarantee it! After all, I am a journalist and I know the best deals in town!
