This is a simple but heartfelt note to thank First Impression Ironworks for the excellent and diligent work performed while building and installing custom iron doors on our home. Being new to our community, we conducted a few Google searches and came across reviews highlighting the company’s quality products and services. We are now glad to add our own praises. Our heartfelt thanks go to Eric, the design sales consultant and Mark, who installed the doors. Both were friendly, courteous, informative and truly professional. The fact that CEO Mark Baraghimian sent us a thank you note certainly added to our customer satisfaction. What a nice touch! AG/CG

We had a security screen installed on my mom's front door recently. The whole process was surprisingly easy and fast - from the consultation (which includes samples of the screens and frames) to the quote (Mike answered all my questions on the small print), to the installation, which happened within 2 weeks and took less than an hour. It looks beautiful and my mom is very happy to have ventilation and security and to be able to see through the door as if it's not there!

I am disappointed with my experience with First Impression Iron Works. During installation of my security door, the installer used an improperly sized bracket that damaged the vinyl cladding on my existing door. A second door installed the same day did not experience this issue, demonstrating that the damage was not unavoidable. The damage compromised the door's protective vinyl surface, which serves as a moisture barrier, yet the company characterized the repair as merely cosmetic. I spent $4832 and despite obtaining a professional repair quote 0f only $325 and making numerous attempts to resolve the matter cooperatively, the company declined responsibility and offered compensation that does not cover the cost of a proper repair. I expected a company with their reputation to stand behind the quality of their workmanship and take reasonable steps to restore my property to its pre-installation condition.

Response from the owner · a month ago

We apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced, and we do want to work toward a reasonable resolution. Please understand that First Impression Ironworks would never intentionally cause damage to a customer’s property. If damage were to occur, our expectation is that it is reported so it can be appropriately reviewed and addressed. Based on the information there was no indication that any damage occurred as a result of improper installation or negligence. Due to the configuration of your openings and jambs, a custom bracket was identified as part of the installation requirements from the time of your contract. Management has attempted to explain the interaction between your interior door and the new security door during our most recent conversation. Our concern is that, depending upon continued operation and clearance of your interior door, it may again come into contact with or impede upon the new footprint of the bracket. We do not want you to experience the same issue again. It is possible there is another factor and the explanation was intended to help you understand that possibility so that appropriate precautions can be taken moving forward, not to dismiss your concern. Our goal remains to address your concern respectfully while also ensuring there is a clear understanding of our position and the circumstances surrounding the reported damage.

> while communicating the installation process and expectations upfront. You selected and purchased a support footer, which requires removal of the pavers to reach the ground level. This process was discussed prior to installation, approved and is a standard process. I've already contacted your customer team and have not received a reply. This is false. You did not communicate the altercation of my pavers without reinstallation. You cleverly omitted the fact that you'd leave the pavers on the side of the yard and the project unfinished. 1. Your contract does not outline a project work plan or include any indication that you would alter my pavers. It simply states the company won't assume liability for damages during the project. This is not damages - this is your undisclosed project plan to alter my pavers without reinstallation. 2. You did not communicate through any medium that you would be altering my pavers WITHOUT reinstallation. 3. I called customer support during the installation and spoke to Susan from operations who ensured me you would send someone out to correct the pavers given the unacceptable state they'd been left in. This is the only reason I signed off on the installation. 4. This is fraudulent business practice to obtain authorization under false pre-tenses. ----------------------------------------------- Original text: Incredibly disappointed with my experience. First Impression ripped out my pavers to install the gate with no plan to reinstall. The excuse given was "we don't do masonry" - then HIRE someone to do it. They originally agreed to send someone out to fix the pavers, and then reneged on that. That alone should tell you that it's obviously not an acceptable state to leave an installation. How can you think this is an acceptable state to leave a $3000 installation? I am reporting this company to the BBB and would give 0 stars if possible.

We are surprised to hear about your disappointment with your gate installation. While First Impression Ironworks specializes in the design, fabrication and installation of custom iron products, we do not perform masonry or paver restoration. Our goal is always to provide a safe, secure, and professionally installed product while communicating the installation process and expectations upfront. You selected and purchased a support footer, which requires removal of the pavers to reach the ground level. This process was discussed prior to installation, approved and is a standard process. If you would like to discuss your concerns further, please contact our Customer Care team directly. Thank you!

Our first door came from First Impression about 15 years ago. We were always happy and never had any problems. We recently noticed some issues with the door and First Impression was very helpful and accommodating. They were able to provide an appropriate discount for the issue and produce an exact replica with the improvements we were concerned about. The installer (Junior) did a fantastic job and was totally professional with an amazing attitude. They also provided a full set of care instructions for our door to help insure we don't have the same problems in the future (a great added extra). First Impression followed up in less than 24 hours to make sure the experience met our expectations.

We had a great experience with First Impression Ironworks! The staff in the showroom were very friendly and helpful. It turned out to be the same guy to come out and measure the door for install. Great guy! The install itself only took about an hour! The install guy was great too! The door itself is the highest of quality. We got one with screen and window. We are leaving the window closed since it is hot right now and We have construction across the street and we can’t even hear them because the seal is so great! Highly recommend. So worth the money!
