BE AWARE!!! HE WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND NOT DELIVER......If I could give a zero I would. I paid Richard from twisted metal a 6800.00 deposit on May 14, 2022 for new hand railing in my house. He stated he could be what I wanted. I gave him pictures of the design. It's June 19, 2023. I still don't have what I paid for. He has not returned my calls or texts. I even had one of his other customers inform me that he did the same thing to them and when he did finally finish the job it was poor quality job. Richard told me that most of his equipment to make the railings was broken. This address listed is also incorrect. After researching him He don't have a shop location anymore nor a business or insurance. I want a refund and will be seeking legal matters. He asked me to remove my post in order to get new job and promised me that he would complete my job. That was just another Richard lie!! He came and took my pickles/rail and stating he needed them to create the rails. Now I see my rails in a picture of his work at another house. Took/stole my material and used them at someone else house!

Beautifully. Richard did an excellent job and I certainly would use Twisted Metal again. Richard took his time and created a masterpiece of my step railings. Love it.

This is the second time I used Richard's services and his expertise is beyond reproach. He's not overpriced and he can design any style rail you want with expert advice. I would use him again and I highly recommend him

"Mrs [Member Name Removed] did indeed give me a deposit on her job after she indeed showed me a pic of what she wanted. All materials for her ob was ordered ,first design was fabricated,she did not like the material that her designs had to be made of to get the curve in them...she stopped me from proceeding with original plans and had found another she liked....again i ordered all materials for that style she liked..in mddle of fabricating new designs...i got a third call changing the rails again..this time a wood top was added....no discustion about it in any part of our conversations.... 3 set of materials were ordered for Mrs. [Member Name Removed] ..... after proceeding to fabricate design #3 i gotta call stating that i had taken too long and she would like a full refund.....i have been building rails since 1987 and Mrs [Member Name Removed] is the most difficult undecisive customer i had ever had the pleasure of dealing with....all my rails are custom hand built please read the other reveiws..... Thank you"

I called Richard at Twisted Metal around 11:30 to see if he would come look at the gate. He said he could come at 1:30 that same day, so I was thrilled. Not only did he look at it, but he also repaired the hinges during the same visit. This is a gate we have loved for years and now we will have it to enjoy for years to come, thanks to Richard. It is a challenge today to find someone who is willing to take on a small job, especially in such a timely manner. I would highly recommend his services with any iron works project.

Twisted Metal’s (Richard) work is outstanding, and the metal railings for my porch are of superior quality, custom made to fit in with the wrought iron already in place. Richard was willing to accommodate my schedule for installing the railings. I would rate his work at 10 out of 10. I highly recommend Twisted Metal for your project.

Richard was spectacular. Gave us a more than reasonable quote compared to the other guys, and got the job done quickly. Our fence looks great! Thanks Richard!

The hand railings are works of art. Although completion of the project was delayed twice due to sickness and a family emergency, it was well worth the wait.

Richard Haymond does not answer the emails sent to his website, so just call him if you want an estimate. <br /> After waiting for about a month for a response to my email, with photos, he responded quickly to a phone call. <br /> Since he had good reviews on this website, and the price was fair, we hired him and paid a down payment. <br /> We had to wait about 5 weeks (instead of the couple he had told us), and call a couple times, before he started work. <br /> When he finished, we noticed that one of the railings was noticeably off center of vertical alignment. We called and Richard stopped by to look at it and agreed that the railing needed re-working. Said he would take care of it. <br /> We had to call a few times, but he finally stopped by, cut off the new railing and took it to apply a better bend. He says he bends the iron by hand over an object. <br /> It took until August 28th for the railing to finally be completed.The railing looks nice now except for some rust where the error had to be corrected. We will have to spray paint those rusty spots. <br /> <br />

Richard had by far the best price and seemed to be the most concerned of the 3 estimates I got. By concerned I mean he was the only one who supplied references, answered all my questions in a timely manner and gave the impression that he wanted the job! The other 2 seemed rather aloof. Must be nice to be so busy you can look at an approx. $10k job with a yawn. <br /> Richard and his employee showed up when they said they would. When weather prevented work to proceed, Richard called to let me know when they'd be back... just being courteous. I liked that. <br />

I contacted three contractors for quotes. Richard quickly responded, visited our home, discussed our desires and provided a quote, in writing, with references at the first visit. Subsequently, Richard called with additional references. He also offered a 10% discount since I had mentioned in passing that I found his services on Angie's List. I gave the other contractors a week to respond, but none did (and I found one of those on Angie's List!). I suppose the job was too small for them? We agreed to have Richard perform the job. He kept us informed and delivered right on schedule. We are very pleased with the style, his workmanship, his responsiveness and communication. <br />

I requested four bids for this job and Richard was able to come the day after I called him. His estimate was generally half of the other bids I received and he installed the rails when he said he would and gave me exactly what I wanted. I was a bit nervous because his bid was so much lower than the others, but I'm delighted with the final product. <br />

The job was done very professionally and exceeded expectations as far as the finished product. The workmanship and design were of very high quality and performed on time. <br />

Mr. Richard Haymond of Twisted Metal Ironworks came to my house soon after I called him for an estimate. He seemed very knowledgeable about wrought iron. He even walked down the street with me as he pointed out things about the wrought iron on neighboring houses that gave me very useful information and interesting ideas for my own wrought iron. In addition his price quote was lower than the other three quotes I had already gotten for the work, substantially lower in a couple of cases. So I agreed to Mr. Haymond's proposal and gave him an advance payment. He then fabricated the wrought iron railings in a very reasonable time, and now that they have been installed, my wife and I are very satisfied with them. I would highly recommend Mr. Haymond and Twisted Metal Ironworks to anyone looking for similar work.
