Smith Metalworks - Metal Fabricators Near Me

I have wanted a more modern style railing since I moved into our house 8.5 years ago, and I just finally made it happen. We didn't use a GC for our stair remodel, and thus I was finding subs myself, and I found Smith Metalworks. Chris/Marni were clear communicators throughout the process, letting me know what was realistic and where I'd need other subs (e.g., turning the stairs from an open to a closed stringer). Sometimes when subs primarily work with GCs (versus home owners) it can be intimidating and/or confusing. Not with Marni/Chris. They walked me through the process, asked thoughtful Q's about my design inspo, and made/installed a beautiful railing. I love it and am so excited about our new stairs! read more

Smith Metalworks - Custom gate (right side) - Metal Fabricators Near Me

We put a pool in the backyard and needed to install a new gate that would look good and meet code. We got estimates from a half dozen companies, looking at wood, molded plastic and metal. Chris provided us a drawing that depicted what we wanted and a price that matched those we were given for wood gates. The look was classy and the life span longer than the other options. Marni is the administrative half of this husband/wife team and she is an ace at keeping you up to date on progress of manufacture and installation. It was done in a very reasonable time period and we could not be happier. read more

I cannot say enough about Chris at Smith Metalworks. While I pride myself in knowing basic construction, custom metal work was definitely not in my wheelhouse. I was concerned about getting raked over the coals on my gate project especially since it was an abnormal design request. Chris not only gave me a good quote (I got 4 bids) he was the only company who responded in a timely matter. His follow up and attention to detail on my gate was incredible! He also gave me great input on design and offered me some cost saving ideas.... who does that? As my niece would said uhhhhh-mazing. Thank you Chris! I cannot say enough about your work ethic and integrity! read more
