Ornamental Ironwork

Ornamental Ironwork

Custom railings and gates built for Midwest weather.

From Belle Isle-inspired balcony railings to secure backyard gates in Rosedale Park, our ornamental work combines Detroit craftsmanship with salt-resistant materials. We specialize in recreating historic ironwork details found in Midtown lofts while using modern alloys that won't rust after one winter.

All decorative pieces start with 3D modeling to match your home's architecture. For bungalows, we replicate the scrollwork popular in 1920s Royal Oak. For modern Troy subdivisions, we create clean-line designs with hidden reinforcement.

Our secret weapon? Hot-dip galvanizing before powder coating. This double protection prevents the peeling and bubbling you see on cheaper installations around Ann Arbor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you match my existing ironwork?

We've cataloged hundreds of Detroit-area patterns. Bring photos and we'll identify the style.

Will snowplows damage my new gate?

We build all street-facing structures with 1/4" steel plates at impact zones.

How do winter installations work?

We pre-fabricate everything indoors and use heated tents for onsite welding when needed.
