"The contractor said the original metal hardware was still useable, which I appreciated. Only the wood needed to be replaced. There was some misunderstanding on the type of wood to be used. Clearer communication with the contractor would have been better. I recommend a more detailed proposal/contract to prevent similar issues in the future. The problem was resolved, however. The job was completed quickly."

"Billy Terrazas is the MOST UNPROFESSIONAL CONTRACTOR I have ever met in my life. He does not complete projects on time, pull permits when necessary, supervise ongoing projects, or Answer his telephone. I gave this company a HUGE job to do. It was a complete remodel with structural changes. There was no communication with Mr. Terrazas unless it involved me writing a check more often than not he would not even answer text messages until days later if at all. No communication with his crew or foreman. He wouldn't even return his sub-contractors calls for job completions. When problems arose it was impossible to get ahold of him. He was almost a month late on "completion" of the project because he would pull workers from my jobsite and send them other places. Claimed that a worker from the window place "stole" his money for the windows which is why It took a month after move in to get windows installed, and only because I went and purchased them myself. There was never any cleanup of the property after construction I had to do it myself. A few months after completion of the project there are details that should have been addressed but were not discovered until a few months later. when this is communicated to both Mr. Terrazas and his foreman, there is no response from either. No professionalism, no integrity. Evidently, NO WARRANTY. FIND ANOTHER CONTRACTOR. Updated 1/20/2021 This is in addition to my previous review this is update on the work that was done by Mr. Terrazas and his crew. I waz forced to file a complaint with the ROC Board. As it turns out there were no permits pulled from my work either that were required from the county unfortunately nobody showed up when the ROC scheduled an inspection to review the work that had been done not one person not Mr. Terrazas, nor his Foreman. During the inspection there were many errors, not only with cosmetic details but structural as well such as the space between the wall and new window being filled with clear silicone because the wall was cut too much, It has been a huge NIGHTMARE working with this company. Update as of 3.4.2021: After the Registry of Contractors advised him of the several violations and incorrect work that needed to be remedied, Mr. Terrazas simply DID NOT COMPLY. He never contacted me after the findings to repair and replace. Mr. Terrazas has now had a formal legal complaint filed against him by the ROC board and is in danger of having his license suspended or revoked. Now, we are awaiting a court proceeding."

Wrought Iron questions, answered by experts
While many fence companies and fence material retailers refer to their metal fencing as wrought iron fencing, most of it is actually ornamental wrought iron fence. This means that the fence is made to look like traditional wrought iron but is actually made out of either steel or aluminum.
Old wrought iron fences typically found at estate sales or on older properties are much heavier and much more prone to rust than the ornamental wrought iron that newer homes and fences use.
DIY is possible for small sections. Professional installation ensures proper alignment and durability for larger projects.
The distance between fence posts is guided by the terrain you’re installing them on, the purpose of the fence, and the material it’s made of. For the average wooden garden fence, posts should be about 6 to 8 inches apart. But if you’re going with a mesh, wire, lattice, or chain link fence, you could set the fence posts anywhere from 6 to 25 feet apart.
Pictures of the area where you want your handrail installed should help get an accurate estimate. You should also let your professional know how accessible the installation location is, and whether or not there is a pre-existing railing to remove. Also, before contacting the pro, take some time to decide what type of wrought iron you are leaning toward.
Finally, have the overall length of your railing at the ready, so you can discuss prefabricated options versus custom-made options.
A wrought iron fence costs about $3,150 on average. The price can range from as low as $470 to as high as $10,310 or more. The cost to install a wrought iron fence can vary dramatically depending on the size (in terms of height and linear feet), design complexity, shape, and add-ons such as gates and decorative flourishes. Consult a wrought iron fence professional with the measurements and specifications of your project to determine an accurate estimate.
