Hired on Thumbtack

We hired Rad from Rads Welding to replace the 6 gates and fence at three of our properties, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Rad is extremely experienced, professional, and very easy to work with. From our first meeting, he took the time to walk through each property, discuss the work that needed to be done, and explain the process clearly. What really stood out was the attention to detail. Rad and his team made sure everything was measured properly, installed correctly, and finished cleanly. The quality of the welding and installation was outstanding, and you can tell they take pride in their work. The new gates and fence look great and feel very solid and well-built. We saved thousands of dollars compared to other welding companies in Chicago. Rad was also very friendly, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire project. He showed up when he said he would, kept everything organized, and made the process smooth and stress-free for us. If you’re looking for someone dependable who does high-quality welding and fence work, I highly recommend Rads Welding. We are extremely happy with the results and would absolutely hire Rad again for future projects.

We had a wonderful experience with Rad. He did an excellent job attaching the railing on the right side of our building. He took the time to carefully cut the pieces so they were perfectly even, painted them a sleek black, and left the whole area looking absolutely beautiful. His craftsmanship, attention to detail, and pride in his work really show. We couldn’t be happier with the result and highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality and professionalism!

Rad was able to come out right away to weld the post to our outdoor hand railing that had broken away from the plate causing a dangerous situation. He was very thorough and completed the job in about 45 minutes. His cost was about half of other estimates. I was very pleased with the quality of his work.

The staircase repair exceeded my expectations from start to finish. The craftsmanship is outstanding—the steps are solid, level, and feel incredibly sturdy, and the new railing is secure . It’s clear that great attention to detail went into every part of the project. The work was completed efficiently, and the area was left clean and organized afterward.

Rad did work on 2 wrought iron fences for me at 2 different locations in the same day. He was punctual, very detailed, and professional. I was very satisfied with the quality of his work. For building, repairs, or maintenance I would highly recommend RAD WELDING. The service was fantastic.
