The team at Riverside were amazing. Erik and Johnny were great to deal with. They designed and built us a beautiful spiral staircase and it is even better than we imagined. Its sturdy, non slip and also beautiful. We are thrilled. We also had them install glass seamless railings on our deck. Their team did a great job and it turned out perfectly. They were professional and so nice to deal with. I highly recommend them!

Extremely pleased. I had railings done in steel down the pathways/stairs in my yard. They look great, and are really well made, heavy and solid. Just the look I was after. I am now contemplating getting railings from Riverside in other areas of the home that I wasn't considering before.

We were first introduced to Riverside Ironworks when the District of North Vancouver contracted them to put an iron railing on the top of the restraining wall the district built on our property. We were very pleased with the result so we called then to extend the railing as a fence and install an automatic gate on our driveway. They were great! Everyone we interacted with, sales people, supervisors, and the two guys who actually did the installation were friendly, courteous, and competent. The project was completed without a glitch, cost exactly what they quoted, and were are very happy with the

Very pleased with the final security gate from Riverside Ironworks. Photo doesn't do it justice because I didn't clean behind the gate first. Pricing was good, and I appreciated them supplying pricing for other security bars that I may need in the future. They supplied a color specifier of the powder coating selection and that was helpful, and the photos on their website gave me a clear idea of their design work from past projects.

Over many years and several projects in our townhouse complex I've had only positive experiences with this company. From my first call through to completion this company was very fair and professional. Our new railings and two repaired gates look great and Erics pricing was the best in town. Paolo and Russell were super friendly and efficient and showed pride in their work. I certainly recommend Riverside Ironworks.
