San Diego Ironworks

I used Pablo and San Diego Ironworks for two jobs now. The first was for two security doors on my french doors. Not only did they give me the lowest quote, they were also able to install later that week (most were saying 2 to 3 weeks). The second was for security window bars. Again they provided the lowest quote and were able to have them installed a week later. I will be recommending them to all my friends and will be using them for future work!

I called Pablo to put up a railing on the porch of our new house and build a custom security door for a narrow doorway in our garage. I also asked him to repaint two gates and add a lock to one. He not only added the lock but also included a stopper on each side of the gate. We ended up adding an additional railing in the back and extending another railing. Pablo had no problem with me adding on more projects and got everything done in less than a week. The price was very good and I would definitely recommend San Diego Ironworks to anyone.

I provided Pablo of San Diego Ironworks some photographs on 3 different driveway fences which I found on the internet, as I liked a particular component from each one (e.g. I liked the kick plate on one, I liked the spears on another, and I liked the color and shape of the third). He was able to create exactly what I had envisioned, and even better than I had imagined. My driveway fence is beautiful and I have received numerous compliments from my neighbors. The quality is also excellent. I chose galvanized steel, but wanted the look /​feel of wrought iron and that’s what I got. SD Iron Works also provided a beautiful railing for a balcony which I wanted matched to existing iron work on an interior staircase from 1932 — and it looks as though the railing was installed when the house was built. EXCEPTIONAL DETAIL, beautiful craftsmanship. I highly recommend San Diego Ironworks.

Pablo did a great job at our house in San Diego installing an iron driveway fence and some additional iron fencing around the property. He did a beautiful job constructing the fencing. His installation work was top notch and he is very professional. He went above and beyond my expectations. I will only use him if I have future projects and I highly recommend him for anyone needing a skilled professional. He also happens to be a very nice guy and he’s easy to work with.

The door to my iron fence was so rusty it was literally falling to pieces. I gave SD Ironworks a call and Pablo was at my house the next day to give me an estimate. The estimate was very fair (lower than all the other estimates I received) so I decided to go ahead with it. Long story short: Pablo came back a couple days later with his assistant and, within an hour I had a brand new door installed.
These guys are great — they will get the job done and they will do so at a very reasonable price. I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Thanks Pablo!

After reading through the Unilocal reviews, I decided to give this company a call for my home stair remodel.
After calling several times, and submitting a few emails, I finally got through. Scheduled a meeting for Friday at 5pm. They agreed they would confirm at 2pm that Friday. But no call to confirm the 2pm appointment, and no calls after that.
For those with high marks, I’m surprised, after trying to get in contact with them several times.
I’ll try again, and update review.

San Diego Ironworks did a GREAT job. They returned my inital call promptly and came out the next day. They quoted the job last Friday and the iron came in this afternoon. They did the installation and even touched up our existing railing. They’re good people and do a great job!!!

Pretty good. My father Tom contacted him and had one iron gate installed in my scripps ranch, San Diego home.
He installed everything professionally, in a timely manner. Afterwards, he saw my kids running around, also cleaned afterwards. and also told my kids to watchout for any tiny metal piece.
Highly recommended.

Don’t Cry Just to Be Crying, San Diego Ironworks Exceeded our families expectations. Pablo was very prompt and matter of fact he came early so perhaps constructive feedback does make a person better for the next consumer: Pablo took the measurements and locked in our price for our iron Security Door. He also responded to my many back and forth emails regarding a fancy Design, that I wanted: I on the other hand had a family emergency and he worked around our schedule for the install: he was once again prompt, professional and courteous. He promised the install would only take 40 minutes and his word was bond. The security door is very well installed, he mounted it like a PRO and no damage was done to our home: he cleaned up and if it took longer than 40 minutes its because we talked to him for another 10 minutes. We’ve worked with all types of General Contractors and even the best of the best can give you grief, suck it up that’s life its called you win some you loose some, we won this one with San Diego Iron Works, thank you Pablo for your time, expertise and genuine customer service. You EXCEEDED Our Expectations

Low bidder, great work, and super installation. Use them and you’ll be glad you did. They took down an old wood fence and put in a new iron one to open up the view. Took all the old fence, and fabricated the iron to go over and around boulders in my yard.

Pablo and his team did a wonderful job for our family. They provided excellent quality iron gates and railings, as well as painting and refinishing of our existing iron doors. They worked quickly and efficiently and were very professional. I feel extremely happy about the work they’ve done, and feel safer with these gates and railings in my property.
Pablo really showed his professionalism when there was a misunderstanding about what they job entailed, and he was willing to install a final gate that he hadn’t even included in his original price at no extra cost. I was so impressed and will definitely be calling him in the future and recommending him to friends.

Quick response. Prompt, courteous, professional attitude and very good work. Pablo even went above and beyond what I asked by repairing some damaged hinges on my iron door and soldering back on a piece that had broken off that he found in my alley. Priced very affordable.

My backyard wrought iron fencing was in serious need of repair. Pablo did a fantastic job and we were very pleased with his work. He also was very prompt to return our call and was on time. Highly recommend him!

I called Pablo and made plans to meet at a condo my clients need to improve before selling. I drove forty minutes to meet him and wait for him to show up to the confirmed appointment. Fifteen minutes past the agreed upon time, I call him. He texts me back saying there was a family emergency in TJ. We’ve all had emergencies, but how about a quick text or call to let me know so that I don’t monopolize my morning for a no-​show?
He begged me to meet him FIVE hours later. I fought my first instinct, which was to tell him to pound sand. This time, he arrived on time and gave me a quote on the balusters and handrails we needed done. He then told me he’d call me Monday. He never called. Two days later I called him and, after spending two agonizingly frustrating minutes helping to remind him who I was, he apologized, saying he was really busy. He had to get off the phone and he promised to call me that day to set up the work. I called him with an hour left in the business day saying if he didn’t call, I would go with someone else and texted him on top of that. He never called.
After reading James A.‘s review, I’m beginning to think there may not have been an emergency after all.

I used Pablo at San Diego Iron Works for a custom 10 foot hand rail. Pablo responded quickly, provided a free estimate and ideas on the job. After taking measurements, he crafted a beautiful handrail and installed it without delay. The entire process was just a couple of days. He communicated very well, answered or returned my calls quickly, and he was very honest. I found him to be prompt, efficient, affordable and the quality of his work was top notch. My wife loves our new hand rail and we have received several compliments from visitors. I recommend Pablo highly and I will be using Pablo again in the future for wrought iron fencing.

It pains me to do this, but I need to share my experience. I emailed and set up an appointment for Monday ¹¹⁄₁₈ in the afternoon. I got off of work early to make sure I’d be there in time. Nobody ever showed up, nor did I receive a call. When I emailed the next day I did get a response saying he had an emergency and had to cancel all appointments that day. Okay… emergencies happen, so we rescheduled for Monday ¹¹⁄₂₅. The appointment time came and went without any communication from San Diego Ironworks. I still haven’t heard anything. So I have no idea about the quality of his work, but we need to look elsewhere…

Awesome Service. Emailed for an estimate during after hours & I recieved a response within 20 min. Pablo was at My house the next day providing his services. He provided me with a low cost estimate free of charge regardless of the fact if I would use his service or not. Some company’s will give an estimate for a small fee & if you use them they will then give you a credit towards the service.
Highly recommend using San Diego Ironworks.
Thank you very much Pablo.

Pablo came over on schedule and was super easy to work with and gave us a good price for a railing we needed to have for our stairs.
He said he would come by on Monday to measure it and get more detail on our plans.
He didn’t show up.
We called the next week to follow up.
He didn’t call back.
We called the next week.
He didn’t call back.
Finally, after another week has gone by, we call
and he calls back and agrees to meet us this morning.
He didn’t show up and didn’t call us.
We didn’t need the railing done right away and that
explains our ridiculous quantity of patience.
We will look elsewhere.

Pablo is a busy man, so expect your normal delays that come with a one man crew. His prices are VERY reasonable and his work is unmatched. I had him build me a custom driveway gate that turned out so awesome even my wife liked it! She’s as picky as they get… happy wife = happy life. Highly recommended.

I would definitely recommend Pablo and San Diego Ironworks. He rewelded, refinished and hung a wrought iron gate for me on a new stone/​wood fence I recently had built at my home in San Diego. The gate looks and works great. From my initial email contact to Pablo to the the time the gate was installed, was less than a week. The price was reasonable and Pablo is a super nice guy. He really knows his business and does not mess around. 5 stars plus to Pablo and San Diego Ironworks!
