I hired Estate Iron Work to put in a custom steel handrail leading up to our front steps. We had a rather unique situation with the steps that led up to our front door. I was unsure if a handrail was even be possible. Everyone, from the lovely lady who answered the phone to the gentleman who came out to do the estimate (and show us samples), were friendly and informative. The crew that came out to measure and install were efficient and knowledgeable and cleaned up the metal shavings. My husband went outside a couple of times during installation to make sure that the railing was installed to our liking (always a good idea to check with the installers to make sure they know exactly what you want). The result is that we have a simple, but beautiful railing, and no longer have to worry about tripping on our weird steps (our steps are not code..circa 1975). We were offered a choice of colors and the type of finish, either an enamel coating or a powder coating. So glad we went with the powder coating. It is very durable, has a bit of texture to it and is a matte finish. It was worth the extra money. I did not seek to get a second bid as I had done my research on Estate Iron Work and found this company had a good track record. I was not disappointed. read more

This company provided excellent design and installation of two railings in my back yard and a custom spice rack for our kitchen. Highly recommended. Ben is a great guy to work with. read more

I originally called EIW for a bid on a new railing, but while Ben was here I asked about something I've always wanted: an awning for my front door area. Ben said he could design it, even though my front door is in a turret and involves curvature. He designed the railing and the support for the awning to match (incorporating flowers and embellishments to mirror my garden), and added a sheet metal roof (nicely powder coated) with a subtle gutter to replace the one that had to be removed to attach the awning. His workers were great and the front door area of my 1929 Tudor has been greatly improved due to this project. It was a bit of a leap of faith to take and I'm glad I did it. read more

We hired them to fabricate a railing and they did a wonderful job with the end product. However, in the process of test fitting the handrail, they scuffed and dinged a few portions of the wall. I imagine this is part of the process and should be also addressed by them. "No, this is not our problem," was what they told us over the phone. Now I'm left with a $400 repair bill for my scuffed walls. read more

I recently completed a very large hand rail project with Estate Iron Work, a family-run business owned by Ben and Pam Schreiner. From start to finish I had a very positive experience. We needed curved hand railing down our very long and winding path to our house on the beach in West Seattle, as well as to both of our guest houses. After reading their on-line reviews, I called Pam, who said if I were looking for curved hand rails, I had come to the right place, as that was their specialty. She was so friendly on the phone that I instantly had a good feeling, and she scheduled her husband Ben to pay a site visit within a couple of days. An experienced metal fabricator, Ben simply paced off my linear feet, and gave me a bid right on the spot, followed the next day by artist sketches of the final look. So impressed with Ben's knowledge, creative ideas, artistic eye, intricate design of a wrought iron railing that perfectly complemented the style of our 1928 home, and very reasonable bid, I chose not to look elsewhere. I quickly made a 50% deposit to get in cue on his 8-10 week waiting list. When our turn came, Ben assigned Austin, his lead fabricator, to supervise the job. Under Austin's expert guidance, the crew was amazing--bending metal on site, framing up and welding the railings in place, so they would fit perfectly. Watching this group of skilled craftsman work was such an education in the amount and variety of labor that goes into a project of this scope. Once framed and in place, off the railing went to the shop for further fabrication, polishing, and fine tuning before going to the powder coater's. Then back on site for final installation. This company is very professional, keeps a tidy work place, focuses on safety, and delivers more than promised. We now have railings that are not only functional, but beautiful with old world charm--one-of-a kind in design and detail, the work of true craftsmen. I couldn't be happier with Estate Iron Work and love supporting small family-run businesses that care about the quality of their work, are still "hands on," and personally see the project through from start to finish. read more

Ben was very easy to work with, he was prompt, and his price was reasonable. He was able to answer our questions with easy to understand explanations. The turn around time for our small job was very fast. We would highly recommend him! Connor fabricated and installed our stair railing. He showed up at the appointment time and spent almost 3 hours in our home. He was very polite and cleaned up afterwards. You would never know he had been here. Beautiful job! read more

I meant to write this review months ago. Ben and the team at Estate Iron Work were a pleasure to work with. Very professional and gave me complete confidence that they knew what they were doing with our project which included a pretty steep drop and a tricky 90 degree bend. Thor and crew did the welding and bending and it turned out great! It turned out even better than I imagined. I'd recommend them to anybody looking for something completely custom. I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for and in this case it was worth every penny. Highly recommended! read more

We are very pleased Estate Iron Work completed our project; an iron stair rail for our front entrance porch. It required a tight horizontal bend around a curve along with following the stair steps and two levels. We discussed our requirements and Ben initiated the design. I'm glad we followed his recommendations -- the railing goes very well with the decor of our front door hardware and iron railing on the balcony. The project lead on site, Holden, kept us informed, was friendly, courteous, and competent. In fact, the project was completed a week sooner than we expected. And, the office was a pleasure with whom to work. Don M. read more

We looked at several companies when researching our iron stair rail project. We ultimately selected Estate Iron Works as they had done other projects near our home, and we were impressed with what we saw. From the time we engaged with them to receive a quote through the design and installation, we received courteous and competent service. The final product was a work of art. EIW matched the curvature of our front walkway and steps perfectly and they added a seamless gate to our rose garden. We have since hired them to come back and add more iron work to our home. They show up when they say they are going to show up, and the projects were completed on time and within budget. read more

Awesome work. Sara installed a beautiful iron railing on our front stoop. It was exactly as I requested and looks perfect. I would highly recommend giving them a call. I really appreciate the fact that they email and they are local. Meeting a female ironworker was also an incredible. read more

After 4 months managing & working on our remodel, I hired Estate Iron Work to install wrought iron railing from porch, down uneven stone steps to the street. I hired on impulse- something I've NEVER done before- because I instantly loved a particular Craftsman design on their attractive website, but mostly because I was exhausted. I can't review the price because I was ready for this remodel to end, BUT I was lucky to find (1) a design I love, (2) Ben (co-owner) who proposed an attractive layout with my Craftsman motif & my safety in mind, & (3) Ben's team of skilled, conscientious, hard-working, respectful men to implement the design- despite a bit of Seattle rain & cold. I could not be happier! www.estateironwork.com read more

The owner of the company Ben Schrieiner came to my house to give me a bid and sell me on a handrail and railings for my stairs. It was around 9 am when he showed up reeking of beer! @ 9am. The guy is a complete drunk. And to top it off as he pulled away he took a swig off an obivois beer bottle while driving. Do yourself a favor and call anyone else read more

We are so happy with the beautiful iron railing Estate Iron Work installed down a long steep driveway. The owner gave us a very reasonable quote and had some great suggestions on a design that would work, match the current railing, and look great. His no pressure sales and design expertise convinced us to go with his company. The workers were professional, cleaned up every day, and completed the project on time. It is beautiful and works great. They even fixed a couple of problems with the existing railing at no charge. I would highly recommend working with Estate Iron Work - everyone from the owner, the office staff, and the installers were lovely to deal with read more

We live in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle. I contacted two companies for a small porch handrail estimate. Estate Iron Work responded right away, and before I even returned their phone call to set a time to meet, someone from Estate Iron Work came to my house and left a proposed design and estimate, which was waiting for me when I returned home. Wow! Great response time and we liked their drawing the best. It was just-right in terms of design for the 1928 house, and where the railing would connect to the house and the steps landing. They were able to provide addresses of a couple other completed jobs they had done in my neighborhood so I could drive by and see those. The work was done on time, and we gladly paid them for an extra offered service of power washing the steps and porch, and they went the extra mile to really get it clean. Wish I had called them years ago, as we are very glad to finally have a safe handrail for our front steps. read more

"Estate Iron Work ((206) 417-4663) did a great job for us last year building 2 railings. He is located in Lake Forest Park. I was going to build my own, but wasn't sure exactly what I wanted. He came out the same day I called and had terrific ideas, so I went with them. His crew showed up on time, worked hard fabricated them on site. They couldn't have done a nicer job." read more

Today Estate Iron Work completed a job refinishing our wrought iron front porch railing and building and installing a curved railing down our front concrete stairs. We are extremely pleased with their work. When Ben came out and gave us a quote he made suggestions we never even thought of. If you are looking for a company you can depend on, this is the one. We received quotes from three other companies and decided on Estate Iron Work, we made the right decision. They completed our job in two days. Adam and his crew came out, they were professional and very hard working. This is a company to give serious consideration. read more
