Working with Matt has been great. He is very professional, makes recommendations that provide the best outcomes, he is on time with project completion dates, and the quality of his work is excellent. I had two rod iron railings in front of my house that had rusted so badly that they detached from the concrete. Matt repaired them and made them look new! Very happy.

Refreshing to work with a contractor who is professional, communicates well, does what he says he is going to do and provides quality work. We had tenants scheduled to move in and had two railings rusted out at the base. Matt stepped up and took care of us prior to their move in date! Looking forward to working with him on another project we need done and to referring him to others in need of his service. Appreciate you, Matt!!!

Matt was great and did exactly what he said he would do. I needed a hole drilled into some exceptionally strong and thick metal and Matt stuck to the task until it was done. I really appreciated his communication as well as his professionalism.

Exceeded my expectations. Old iron railing rusted and broke off base. He did an excellent job fabricating new lower sections and reattaching to outdoor steps. I’ve talked to him about doing another project.

Matt was a true lifesaver for me this week! I own a 100+ year old house with original wrought iron rails along my front stairs. After speaking with dozens of overpriced welding contractors over the past year or so, I’d basically given up on getting it fixed anytime soon. I’m hosting a holiday gathering this week and realized it was urgent to fix, given my pending guests’ arrival and concern for their safety. I reached out to Matt on Monday and he called immediately. I shared pictures and he came out same day to take a look. He explained how he would approach and work and completed the job by Wed. His price was very fair and the work is immaculate. I will call on Matt at Third Hand Welding for all future welding needs and so should you. Thank you Matt for your exceptional customer service! 😊
