Decorative Steel Fabrication

Metal Artistry

Mass-produced metalwork lacks the detail and proportion that distinguished Chicago's architectural tradition. When your project calls for custom gates, ornamental railings, decorative screens, or architectural brackets, off-the-shelf options can't deliver the precision or character that handcrafted fabrication provides. Whether matching historic ironwork patterns or creating contemporary geometric designs, decorative metalwork transforms functional elements into defining features of your outdoor space.

Our metal shop handles the full fabrication process in-house: CAD modeling from your design sketches, precision cutting and forming, hand forging for traditional details, and welding that holds up to Chicago weather. We work in steel, aluminum, and stainless steel depending on application—each with different finishing options from powder coat in any color to hand-applied patina or clear-coat that lets the metal age naturally. Every piece is sealed for long-lasting protection against rust and weathering.

Decorative metalwork installed with your deck or patio project ensures perfect integration with the surrounding design. Gates align with fence posts, railings match stair dimensions exactly, and pergola brackets carry design details consistent with your home's architecture. When fabrication and installation happen under one roof, you get metalwork that fits precisely rather than field-adapted compromises.
