Best Virtual Consultations in Phoenix AZ

Residential Gate Replacement: From start to finish Sunset Gates provided excellent service. Each of the staff we interacted with on the phone and at our home was calm, competent, professional, knowledgeable, and a good listener. They answered all of our questions and offered thorough explanation of the process, time frame, materials and features of the gate. When on site they wore masks and observed social distancing protocols. Pricing was competitive and work was completed without interruption.  Our new gate is beautiful!  Sunset Gates is highly recommended!

Alex and Michael arrived on time at 8 am July 13, 2020 to put kickplate under my RV gate to raise it to the level that I added onto my block wall years ago, which is another 13 inches.  Alex is particularly cheerful and upbeat.  

I was feeling sorry for them that they had to work in 118 degree heat, but they had their setup, which really impressed me, that I took this picture.  A large EZ up with misters!!  I never seen any worker bring such a thing.  

Gate Repairs was willing to match the $350 bid that I got from several other gate businesses (maybe even this same business)  several years ago, but never acted on it.  I did not tell them that my lowest bid this year was $400, but they wrote back that they were willing to match the $350 I got from the past.  I was elated.  I got a bid as high as $1200 from one gate company, and that was only if I put kickplate on top of the gate not at the bottom!

So make sure you get several bids, folks, cos they could be $1000 apart.  

It was hard to get bids on this project because the other gate companies only make new gates, or they do not come out to the job site to install what they make in the shop, due to not being licensed to do installations on site.  

At first they welded the plate on top of  the frame, not inside the frame.    I didn't like that at all, and they already painted it.  They said they didn't weld the plate inside the frame so it looks same on both sides, cos the plate has a tendency to warp.  It is such a little area, like 1 foot high.  I said you could put enough welds in it, even all the way around, not just spot welding here and there, so the plate won't warp.

So they took apart what they did. on that one side, and put metal plate inside the frame, and got my approval.  Sooooo much better!  
Otherwise I would have looked at that plate on the outside of the frame (like a piece of cardboard taped there) and had bad feelings every time I look at it, and for years.  Alex said I just want you to be happy.  I said I was happy with the changes they made.  He said some people like the panel on this side, some like it on the other side.  I said Well you didn't ask me first.  I told him I think they should have asked me.  Maybe they will ask people from now on to avoid having the cost of time and materials to do it over.  .  

I don't know why I put off this gate modification for so long, but I love the Covid quarantine   I got home projects done during this time that I been putting off for 16 years!  

While working, Alex told me they could replace existing wood slats, which  too are too small  for the opening (cos lazy person, not me, buys them ready cut that way, no need to rip each slat) .  Existing wooden slats leaves large gapes in metal frame that people could see me skinny dip in my pool easily   Wood has to be custom ripped to fit between metal, so people cannot see through.  Gate Repairs will paint the wood for me, too.  Alex said he will call Areceli to give me a quote for that.  

On July 30, a different person named Adam showed up with the same Michael who came with Alex on July 18, to replace my gate slats with wider boards so the 1/4 opening on each side no longer exists between the board and the metal frame grid.

They stained the wood at their shop with the Behr Redwood stain 502 I told them to get, and cut it onsite and installed.  Cost $560 after a $100 previous customer discount.

I noticed paint drops and overspray on my brick paving and the concrete.  But Adam insisted that their paint (in spray can) does not make drops like that, but there was also 25 inches overspray you can see in the photo.  Adam said he and Michael painted in the alley, not where the drips are.  No one coulda done that but the gate workers, which Adam said could have been done by Alex last time.  They did not have the right solvent to remove the paint drops so I got my nail polish remover, which well, didn't get it all out, but made a difference.  Areceli at the office both called and emailed me offering for someone to come out again with the right solvent to remove the paint from my pavers, after the guys told the office they did not have the means to remove the paint.

After they left I worked on it for several days with remaining nail polish remover.  I got it out enough so it isn't as noticeable that I could live with, so they do not have to come back again.  But that is why I give them 5 stars, because they were conscientious to come out again to make it right.  

I tell you I really like Alex, the company has a big asset in his upbeat, enthusiastic, cheerful, yes and  I just want you to be happy personality.  I felt Adam was the opposite.  

Here are pictures of raised gate, neat latches they put on free, and their impressive work tent with fans and misters.

They did a fantastic job on our privacy wall! They were very knowledgeable and so patient with us while we worked with our HOA for approval. Kudos to the guys who did the hard labor, especially in the extremely hot weather! Price was reasonable too.  Would recommend this company to anyone!

I forget how I found Clear Choice Pool Fence, but I'm glad I did! Pricing was very fair (in my opinion). My job (shown in pictures) was about $1500. They do not do metal fencing, but I didn't want metal so that was not an issue for us. Great quality materials, and we are very happy with the work that was done to make our backyard safe for our kids!

Ernie installed our fence and that guy is freaking awesome.  Pricing was competitive and installation was quick.  Ernie went far above and beyond expectations- highly recommend them and I don't do that often!

Great experience! We had 4 quotes. We based our choice off of professionalism and price.
Mario is great. He was out right away and we received a professional shortly after. Communication was great throughout. They were always on time. Mario works as hard or harder than his employees. They demoed part of my wall to expand my gate and rebuild a pillar. We went with all metal due to the lack of composite slats. It was about the same price and it looks great. It will be less maintenance in the future.
Mario even called a week later to make sure I was satisfied.
Great owners! Great company!

Like most home owners I had a vison of what I wanted done at my home but did not know how or where to begin. I came across Gabe Castle, owner of Sacred Steel AZ's work on Offer Up and was intrigued by the many unique projects Gabe completed. It can be intimidating reaching out to a company you have never worked with but I decided to reach out to Gabe and am very thankful I did.

From the moment I contacted Gabe I was impressed with Gabe's willingness to actively listen to my thoughts while answering questions and offering suggestions. I did not feel any pressure from Gabe and at no time felt rushed when explaining my vision. Gabe helped me understand what can be done with metal and offered suggestions from his years of experience and his expertise took my vison to another lever that I did not think would be possible.

Gabe's attention to detail was evident from start to finish. (I am that annoying homeowner that loves to hover and ask questions so I was very involved with the project which allowed me to see the time and effort Gabe displayed in making sure my project was being constructed to my liking). The more I got to learn about Gabe to more I realized the pride Gabe takes in his work and his willingness to always go the extra mile.

My project involved working closely with another contractor which can be challenging but Gabe did not skip a beat and worked hand in hand with my paver installation allowing both companies to do their best work. Gabe showed up on time, every time with strong communication skills that kept me in tune with the project completion and was also patient with me when I asked to modify the plans on the fly. At the end of day, Sacred Steel aims to please.

If you are considering getting any type of metal work done I would highly recommend Gabe at Sacred Steel AZ. Through the entire project my thoughts were at ease knowing that Gabe was on job and that's a piece of mind money cannot buy.  While we are on the subject of money I felt Gabe was honest with the cost of materials and did his best to get the maximum yield out of material to help stretch my dollar further. Gabe's labor cost was fair in relation to the type of work he performed. (I later learned he was well below the average cost of his competitors.) When it came time to compensate Gabe for his work I had no reservations on the price as I felt it was deserved based on the wonderful outcome.

Each time I pull in my driveway and see Gabe's work it brings a smile to my face. I have had countless compliments on my projects originality and coolness and feel that others should give Gabe an opportunity for their projects, you would be in good hands. If any of you reading this would like to see firsthand the remarkable work Gabe did at my home I would gladly invite you over to take a look.  

Thank you Gabe at Sacred Steel AZ for making my vision come to life, I am very pleased with your work and am looking forward to working with you on future projects!

EXCELLENT!  Let me first say, I do not take recommending someone lightly.  I do a lot of research and interview many companies before I chose someone to do work for me.  I am pretty sure I called every residential fencing company there was.  I had companies not return my calls, no show for appointments, and one company even came out for a quote and then never sent me the quote.  All Pro did not do any of these things. All Pro answered when I called, they showed up for a quote when they said they would, they gave me a written detailed quote and  fair price right off the bat.  
They installed a pet enclosure for me last month and I could not be happier.  There was even a little mix up with the gate and they came right back out and made everything perfect , no questions asked and a smile on their face.   I will be going to them for all my Fencing and gate needs.   Thank you Gary and Brad!

Wow! I can't say enough great things about Alpha. After getting a few outrageous quotes, I contacted alpha via project messaging on yelp. Not only did Vanessa contact me immediately, her tech (J) came out the same day in under an hour and was able to fix it in the same amount of time for a mere fraction of the cost. Even better, I got zero lies about how my door was on its last leg and a disaster waiting to happen, or that my how would complain about the fix because it would still show signs of damage like I did with the other companies. Instead, I see zero evidence that there was ever a dent and the door functions better than it did before! And all of that with an added year warranty on the work. Alpha proved everyone else a liar! I could not be more grateful! Just when you think honest companies didn't exist anymore....sometimes you're blessed enough to find a gem like Alpha Commercial. Skip the quotes- hire these folks! Proof of my purchase today below!

Ralph came to my home and did the job in 90 min...the day before a rep. From jahm iron couldn't..wouldnt do it...ralph left with the cash!! Appreciate you..will use again!!

Responded quickly and very interested in getting my project completed quickly accurately.   Did a great job getting me what I needed done.

Flexible scheduling. Arrived on time. Completed work as promised. Pricing was fair. I would recommend.

Brian arrived first thing in the morning to fix my gate and did an excellent job.  He was super friendly and prompt.  The price was lower than other companies had charged me and the service was amazing.  I would definitely recommend this company.

I am very very happy with the result of our gate. It was dragging on the ground, the lock latch had broken off, and it needed a new staining/paint job. Such nice guys and did a terrific job in about 2 1/2 hours. Great price in my opinion also. Would totally recommend them

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.

I had a pool fence installed that was poorly formed and started rusting within one month. I believe it can be easily fixed with some additional paint in areas. They promised to come take care of it and did not show up for four appointments. Now they are not returning my calls. I'm going to contact Visa for help in getting this issue resolved.

I was so impressed with Oscar at Hydro Fencing. He was responsive, kind, had reasonable pricing and finished the project right on time. We are so happy with our new gates and highly recommend Hydro Fencing to anyone considering a gate project!
