Rivas Ornamental

Rivas Ornamental is a Revere shop built around custom metal railings and ornamental ironwork, run by Santos — Angi's profile credits the company with 26 years of experience in metal stairs, railings, and wrought iron. The written record, though it runs from 2017 to 2023 rather than anything more current, is consistently about the same thing: a fast in-person quote followed by work finished close to the promised date. In a 2021 review, a homeowner described giving Santos a specific railing design; he priced it fairly, then delivered it on time and as promised. Earlier accounts, from 2019, describe a heavier replacement railing installed in place of an older one and a job scheduled the week after a same-day site visit. A 2017 review specifically praises an iron fence installation as well-executed. Pricing comes up unprompted across several of these as fair or reasonable. Massachusetts' home improvement contractor registry shows Rivas Ornamental Inc's registration (#194929) has expired — worth confirming its current status directly before booking a job that would require it. For custom stair and porch railings or ornamental ironwork, the pattern in the written record is a quick quote, work delivered on schedule, and a fair price — though that record predates 2023, so it's worth asking about recent jobs and current licensing before hiring.
