San Diego Ornamental Iron

My wife’s good friend, Karen, hired Bob Welsh to put ornamental iron on all her windows and doors. What a beautiful job! If I could give Bob and his team 70 stars, I would! Bob more than willingly worked within her modest budget and kept her informed every step of the way, even taking photographs of the iron doors while in the ironsmith’s workshop. Bob showed up on the day of installation and oversaw the project, making sure Karen could kick open the fire releases (she could) and operate all the dead-​bolts herself. I must say, for honesty, quality, communication, and professionalism with customers overall, Bob is outstanding. Couldn’t be more pleased!

Our custom automated SD Iron gate has worked flawlessly for almost 2 years now. Recently someone tried to force their way into our yard from the outside by pushing very, very hard on the gate. Thankfully our gate was strong enough to withstand any damage, but the gate would no longer close all the way. Bob Welsh was very concerned and came up quickly to assess the damage and offer solutions. Then he and his team came out and fixed anything «out of whack» and installed a magnetic lock. The beauty is that you cannot tell that anything was done but now the gate closes with an incredible strong hold. I just looked at their recently redesigned website and it is delightful to see all the incredible creative custom services they provide! (Please note my 2014 review was based upon the website at that time, not the current one which clearly explains their scope of work and talent.)

My wife and I completely, and thoroughly, recommend San Diego Ornamental Iron, Bob and team. We are homeowners in Kensington. We are very fortunate to have met Bob and had his team install a custom iron gate and side fence at the top of our stairs, as well as a faux fence off our kitchen. As you can look up, we do not provide comments unless we are completely happy or impressed. The quality of work and creativity immediately stand out and we receive complements often on the iron work. The team there is exactly what you want in professional, local and trustworthy artisans. We had a couple of add-​ons to accommodate wife requests, you know what I mean, and Bob and Fausto’s team really took care to ensure every detail was done to exceed our expectations. Believe me, that is very rare these days.
I highly recommend SDOI. My wife is incredibly happy with their work and it was always a pleasure to talk with them for me. We could not be happier. Thank you so much Bob and team. Our home has beautiful iron features that enhance the look and value of our entire street.

Super Happy with the Custom Iron Stair railings Bob & Fausto designed and built for my Condo. Despite having to carry everything up 4 flights of Stairs they did an efficient and super professional job. Highly recommendable for any custom iron work for your home.

Working with Bob was a great experience! Honest, reliable, great follow up and both professional work and installation. He put in railings at our 1932 Spanish home near St. Augustine high school. My neighbor thought they looked original! What a compliment. Save yourself time and money by working with Bob. I am glad I did and the work shows. Just ask him to show you the pics from our job.
