Thumbtack customerSep 2026

He did an excellent job welding and repairing my loose wrought iron stair railing, then came back to paint it. He was on time and professional. The work looks solid and clean. He even checked an outside railing and made sure it was secure. Highly recommend for welding and railing repair!

Thumbtack customerAug 2026

(Before and after photos included) fantastic work! Punctual, professional and great work. It was a full day of work and came out amazing. Thorough at every turn - even put down tarp/protectors on our fence/bushes + the door. 10/10 recommend!

Thumbtack customerAug 2026

Ezequiel took the time on a Saturday evening to come to our home and repair a weld joint on my wife’s wheelchair - which means she is mobile around the house again. He did a top quality job - even painting over the completed weld so it all looked new again. Very courteous even though he does not speak much English. He clearly knows how to effectively use his tools to do a quality job. Thanks - Vance Kauzlarich - 301-972-0441

Ezekiel was on time, professional and steady worker. The only thing he put a nail that was too small from railing into siding and it already came out.

Thumbtack customerJul 2026

Ezekiel did fantastic work, showed up exactly on time, and charged a very reasonable price. Our iron handrails on brick steps in front and back were totally rusted out and unstable, but he brought both front and back to like new condition. He was responsive from the first message, came out the next day for a quote, and arrived exactly at the agreed upon time to do the job the following week. Highly recommended.

I had the welded frame on my coffee table repaired by FM Ironworks, and I couldn't be happier with the results. They were responsive, punctual, and did quality work at a fair price. The table is solid again, and the whole process was easy from start to finish. I highly recommend them.

Great job. Very happy with the work

Ezequiel responded quickly and his quote was very reasonable. He fixed my front stoop railing that was rusting in places, very shaky. He also painted the renovated sections to match the rest of the railing! Highly recommend and I would definitely use again!

Thumbtack customerJun 2026

I was very fortunate to find Ezequiel of FM Ironworks. I had a difficult welding job involving thick metal and a number of cracks. His welds were the best I've seen. He worked very efficiently to get the job done. I will definitely use him next time. I have a metal fabrication project.

Thumbtack customerMay 2026

We had a rusted out handrail that needed some work and a loose lamp post. Ezequiel came out, secured the lamp post, welded new legs for the railing, and finished/painted them both to look brand new. He even secured some stone that came loose in the process. Quick, kind, and communicative. Looks great! Would highly recommend

We hired FM Ironworks to save our rusting stairs at the back of our building. They did a fantastic job sanding down the rust, patching the areas that needed patching, priming, and then painting the stairs. They're good as new. While there's a little bit of a language barrier, FM Ironworks made it work and without compromising quality or efficiency.

Emily B.Oct 2025

Ezequiel did an excellent job restoring our iron stair rails, which were starting to rust and break down at the bottom of the legs, creating an unsightly safety hazard. I really didn’t want to buy new railings. I had a feeling these were worth saving and Ezequiel confirmed it when he came out to provide a quote for the work. After getting our concrete steps replaced, therefore, we hired Ezequiel to refurbish the rails. He provided great value, and was timely and responsive. I couldn’t be happier with our “new” handrails!

Ed B.Sep 2025

Showed up on time, did an excellent job and was very grateful for the opportunity to help us with our project.

Nice job at an affordable price.

Hoda M.Aug 2025

Ezequiel did a high-quality job in transforming my stairs by replacing the white wood balusters with wrought iron balusters. He came on time and would have finished the job in one day; except we realized some material was missing. So, he came a second time without hesitation to finish the job. I highly recommend Ezequiel for doing a great job at a reasonable price.

Benjamin G.Aug 2025

Excellent job. Replaced 4 rusted out posts on front porch railing. Price very reasonable

Sybil B.Jun 2025

If your iron railing is rusted and unstable like mine was, I highly recommend Ezequiel. I appreciated his prompt response and professionalism. He did a beautiful job repairing the iron posts.

Colby H.Apr 2025

Ezequiel was very responsive to inquiry and completed the job in a timely manner. Nice guy, slight language barrier, but a hard worker. Would recommend.

Val N.Feb 2025

He did a great job fixing our stairs and installing new balusters! They look so much better and he also fixed the loud squeaking. He was very professional and had great attention to detail! Would highly recommend!

Anne-Marie d.Feb 2025

I was hesitant at first because I was new to Thumbtack. No regrets! The most amazing experience ever. I have used them for several projects now and recommended to our list serve. The quality of work, coupled with knowledge and professionalism, followed by value is unparalleled. Highly recommended!!
