Description of Work: Repaired/replaced sections of wrought iron fencing that had been damaged by an out-of-control automobile. Reed Brothers was first contacted mid January and they couldn't give me an estimate for a couple of weeks. I accepted their proposal on 2/7/15 and work was to commence in a couple of weeks after parts were received. Unfortunately Reed ran into delays with taking delivery of the parts and gave several different excuses as to why the fence repair wasn't complete. After several phone conversations and more delay the parts were finally received and the fence repaired on 4/3/15. I have to give Reed credit for knocking 10% off the overall bill for their failure to perform on schedule. I would use Reed again because the quality of their work is outstanding.

Description of Work: I had a lock that was not operating properly. They came out promptly and rekeyed that lock and another one to be the same, which was very helpful. They also did some work on the door so that the original lock works more smoothly now. Very polite, professional and prompt. I'd use them again anytime I needed that kind of service.

They were great. They were very friendly and they were very helpful when we walked in. They had a display of different kinds of rails. They presented the options very clearly on what was on display in the showroom and pictures of rails they had installed. They were willing to talk about the designs and which ones worked best with different types of houses. We wanted a rail that enhanced our home?s elevation and not detract from it. We got exactly what we were looking for. They told us it would be about two weeks and it was about a week and they did the installation in one day. Before that the guy came out and spent about an hour and did detailed drawings of how the railings would look so we had a copy of that before the rails were ordered. The guy that drew it came back with the installers to make sure there was a meeting of the minds between he, the installers and me to make sure there would be no hiccups. It was pretty well done and they are a very good company. They are great and I expect they will be for quite a while. I think we got what we paid for. Everybody we dealt with was great. I would definitely use them again. They come across as a company that really cares about their customers.

I would not recommend Reed Brothers Security. They made the gate too short so they had to put an extra piece on. Also, the painting job was rather sloppy. They were very nice though. They didn't clean up very well but besides that they were professional. I felt that the workers were not as good as the person designing the gate.

They are a pretty well known reputable firm. We were very pleased. We were pretty satisfied. We didn't like any of the locks they had in stock and they referred us to someone that had what we wanted and they installed it. The lock itself was expensive. They were professional and prompt. They did a great job. They have been in business for quite a long time. We would definitely consider using them in the future.

We were very happy with them. They did what they said they would do and came on time. They seemed very helpful and efficient about getting the work done. It seemed like it was not a very difficult job for them. They did a good job and I didn?t have any complaints. Their pricing didn?t make any impressions. The quality of their work was good and we didn?t have any problems. Their responsiveness was good. It was easy to schedule an appointment. Their professionalism was very good too.

I went down to the store front and picked out the door. They did a poor job with the installation. The door itself is a good door, but it does not fit flush like it should. The lock did not fit properly and they had to send a locksmith to readjust the deadbolt. Very pleasant people, and I like the door, just poor installation. They did have to reschedule me once after I waited all day for them to come. I then waited a second day for the locksmith to come as well.

Quoted price was similar to other locksmiths in my area. Showed up as scheduled and did the work as requested. A few days later we noticed that one of the locks was so stiff that it was almost impossible to turn without breaking the key. Called their dispatch and they scheduled a follow up to repair at no cost. Overall I am satisfied, but would have preferred if they had gotten it right on the first visit.

Great. Called in the morning. Made appt for 3:00. Guy showed up at 2:00. He did the work really well, he was clearly very knowledgeable and competent and friendly. I didn't rate price as I did not have time to do comparisons but it seemed very reasonable to me for the scope of work.

Everything was good except that someone did not follow the directions and cut the handrail too short. However, when I called Warren and told them that it did not pass the city inspection they sent someone out there that day to remeasure it, cut it and the new piece was rewelded the following day. They also paid the additional inspection cost since it was their error. I can't believe I didn't have to play tough guy or beg them-they fixed it immediately and apologized throughout.

Reed Brothers Security replaced a front door lock. I was locked out and destroyed the lock trying to regain entry. The locksmith was forced to do this on a Sunday. It took 45 minutes, and the charge was reasonable for weekend double time rate. I would call them again but hopefully I will not have to.
