Larry is an energetice character! Very personable, and friendly. Gates can take a loooong time to create, but who wants cookie cutter? I LOVE my gates, even if they took a few months to get.  Larry put up with my picky requests with a smile on his face and told me that he would want things perfect too. Just a very nice transaction all around. The gates are oil rubbed bronze and perfect against the backdrop of the mountain views! The fabricated wood will last for a long time, and the metal gates are strong and sturdy, and beautiful. Thanks Larry!

We had originally stopped by another shop because we had seen their ad in the mall; when we arrived to their showroom four people sat around with not even a hello as we browsed for about 7-10 minutes discussing options. After no one paid us any attention I quickly knew how the future of working with this company was going to go..been there, not gonna do that.. So we left and that lead us to find Steel Shield after some research.

Steel Shield answered right away and we got an appointment with John Haines. John is a great guy to work with. Once John took the time to go over what we wanted he made a few suggestions but we ultimately decided on what we originally wanted and he didn't pressure us, just informed us.

John took his time taking the measurements, told us he would be in touch and we saw home once more after that as he wanted to double check his work.

When the gate was ready, right on time, two guys came for the install and did a perfect job. I'm pretty anal when it comes to alignment and equal spacing but between john's measurements, the actual fabrication of the gate and the install they couldn't have nailed it more! Solid, great looking product that you couldn't get installed any better.

Overall, we love our front porch gate and we loved our rare experience of working with a company that clearly takes pride in their work.

Frank came when he said he would. It was around 4:30 PM on a Saturday. When he looked at the unit he saw that the chain had broken and that we needed a new spring. He gave us the price to repair our door. And since our motor was 15 years old, he gave us a price to replace the motor, repair the chain and replace the spring. I thought it was very reasonable. I asked him how long it would take and he said about 1.5 hours. I asked him if he wanted to spend the time now at 4:30 on a Saturday night. He said he wanted to take care of us and that he would fix everything that night. He stayed and by around 6:00 PM everything was in working order. Needless to say, we were very impressed.

Definitely check their Google reviews. Stop in to get parts or advice and a bottle of water. Quality fence work

We have done 3 projects with Rob now. He has the best prices of anyone!  He is honest and checked on our job every day. His crews are great too!  If you need an RV gate or block wall Rob is the best!  I highly recommend him.

One of my gates had swung shut and past the latch, bending the slider bar.

Alpha was quick to respond, provided a quick quote

Jason came out to my house, fixed the gate, installed a couple of stops to prevent the gates from opening in the wrong direction as promised.

We he arrived, we noticed the wall the gate was attached to, was separating from the house, he was able to straighten out the wall and installed a bracket to the wall and the house.

Everything is working great again.

I wouldn't hesitate to use Alpha again if needed.

Called Dan and he gave me a quote over the phone in minutes (with a couple of options), it was the cheapest around. He came out to confirm that the option I chose would work, and scheduled his team to come out and take measurements. They were out the next day, and two days after that (in less than an hour and a half!) I had a beautiful RV gate where there was once just a block wall.

We got estimates from three different pool fence companies but ultimately decided to go with this one. They weren't cheaper but oftentimes you get what you pay for and this is not something you want to skimp out on. Leonard provided great customer service and was speedy in getting us scheduled for both the estimate and installation. The workers who installed the fence did a great job. Plus rather than being contracted employees they are actually employed by the company. They really know and believe in the product and customer service experience.

You can get a 10% discount for paying cash. We were also able to get a very small group discount for scheduling our installation at the same as another neighbor.  

I also recommend putting an alarm on the pool gate. It only costs $10-15 at any home store and having that extra alert system can give you more peace of mind and provide an extra step of safety.

Our pool fence looks great and we actually like the way it makes our backyard look more than before because it separates our different spaces well. Plus now we can relax and enjoy our backyard more knowing our little one is safer in the backyard.

We just had the pool fence installed and I am so pleased with this company.  His estimate was very competitive and his product is much more resistant than the other company's that I received estimates from.  He gave a complete demonstration with the fiberglass posts and showed how they will give and bend with pressure, but the bends will not be permanent or compromise the integrity of the fencing system.  He was upfront regarding the product and what was for actual safety and what was more for money makers.  We went with some of his suggestion, and even spent a little more money than he recommended just so we would have peace of mind,  I highly recommend using his company for his honesty, integrity, and for his wonderful demeanor.  Great man and a pleasure to be around.

After buying several homes in the valley, and watching pools get built time after time my husband and I decided to contract the pool ourselves.

We found out why we don't build pools for a living. Problem after problem with the tradesmen, delays, budget overages, and doing things twice seem to be common procedure.

When it came down to the fence and getting to the finish line to pass final inspection, there were multiple opinions on what needed to be done and how.

Brian with Far From Average was a blessing in disguise. Brian was very knowledgeable on every code, every variation, and what actually needed to be done. Brian was a true professional. The fence came in on time and within budget. Not to mention how well Brian understood the difficulty of our pool layout and design, with a very precise and clean installation. The experience from start to finish was effortless and hassle free. The fence came out beautiful. Brian's attention to detail was impressive. Communication throughout the process was fantastic. I would highly recommend.

Mike is a true expert in his field. I've had him build me a few custom shipping and work tables. They have all turned out exactly how I wanted them/exactly what I asked for. He's accurate, quick, and easy to work with. If you need any kind of metal fab work done, Mike is your guy.

Great response and quality of work was exceptional.   Created a beautiful courtyard gate 6 ft wide x 9 ft tall.  About 3-4 weeks from quote to complete install.  Would recommend these guys for any welding need

Ralph welded our gate latch and adjusted our gate. It now works excellent and securely. The quality of Ralph's work was outstanding.

Ralph came timely as scheduled, was pleasant and very professional. He was very easy to deal with and we are very happy with his work. Ralph's
price was very fair and reasonable.

We strongly recommend using Ralph for your welding needs.

Absolutely love these designs! Amazing work. Can't wait to have friends and family start using them for all of their designs.

Excellent service, decent price, marvelous Gate! You get what you pay for. So from cheap materials from TNP Gate LLC to quality products from First Impressions, we are finally satisfied customers.

Get ready for no return calls and no one ever trying to fix a problem,  I got a door from First Impressions in 2017. From the start the lock was very hard to lock and unlock.  I called and never got answer back. 3 years later still not working well, I finally got ahold of someone and there reply was 'Locks are not covered well I purchased the lock from First Impressions.  They said contact lock company, no name on lock and First Impression couldn't tell me the information. It seems to stick on the jam (that would not be the lock) DO NOT USE this scam company, look at all the bad reviews.

They did a great job replacing our pool fence post that had decayed from sprinkler system overspray.  

His prices were fair for the work performed.

I like that he was able to be to us within 24 hours and that he was open to suggestions on how to complete the project.. a rare thing in the know it all contractor world.  

He held a positive attitude and was efficient in completing his work, and most importantly, didn't cause more damage or leave a giant mess behind.  

I totally recommend him.  Thanks!!
