RE: Front Railing Custom Built from a Picture
I had several quotes before my meeting with Asad from Architectural Iron Works
His top competitors disappointed me. They were late, unprepared, and arrogant. To them I was asking for the world and what I wanted was near impossible to make at least according to them. They told me the railing would have to be handcrafted not fabricated and would cost $8000.00 or more. One company worker went as far as to compare me to his to wife. He laughed and said “you’re just like my wife; she always wants what I can’t give her.”
I was very discouraged and angry at this point however I needed a railing so I continued my search on Home Stars. My search ended with Asad from Architectural Iron Works. I called them and set up an appointment for a quote.
Within a few days I found a rather simple quiet polite gentleman greeting me before our appointment was to begin. He carried a briefcase and he had the pictures that I had sent prior to our meeting. I asked him bluntly “can you make the railing in the picture?” He nodded. What I liked about Asad is he told me what he could do for me instead of what he couldn’t do
He measured everything which took minutes closed his briefcase and said “not to worry we will make you the railing you want and it will be beautiful you will see” and he shook my hand. Weeks later they called and said it was finished and they returned to install it. It was a very smooth professional transaction that I didn’t need to worry about. A home owner needs someone who they can rely on and who has your best interest at heart. Asad is definitely that person. His work is beautiful and solid. My house is no palace by any means however the railing is magnificent and more importantly exactly what I wanted. It didn’t cost $8000.00 either; it was a fraction of that
I welcome anyone to my home to see the railing and discuss what a great company Architectural Iron Works is and how impressed I was by Asad the owner.
Next on my to do list are window boxes which will match the railing and of course it will be Asad designing and building those.
