Boston Iron Group Inc

Boston Iron Group is a Lynn, Massachusetts ironwork shop that's been fabricating and installing railings, fences, gates, spiral staircases, fire escapes and structural steel since 2007, per the company's own site — Aylton Silva, the owner, is named directly in nearly every review as the person homeowners deal with. Railings are the recurring job: reviewers from 2022 to 2024 describe handrails and stair railings installed quickly, looking elegant, and holding up — one 2022 customer wrote that a front-step railing installed months earlier was 'still looking great,' another called the finished result 'incredibly sturdy' after Aylton took extensive measurements and quoted a reasonable price. A 2023 review describes a more involved job — a fabricated spiral staircase, railings and a decorative bracket, delivered to meet a hard deadline. Another 2022 account describes the crew inspecting and repairing a rusting fire escape on a multi-family building: scraping rust, repainting, and replacing worn bolts. The theme across nearly every review is the same — responsive, professional, on schedule. One customer who said they'd worked with a lot of contractors called Aylton and his team among the most professional and responsive, and quoted him saying, 'If the client is not happy, we don't have any work.' Twelve of the thirteen reviews on file are five stars; the lone exception is a three-star Google review that isn't actually a complaint about the work — it's a customer asking whether the business is based in Lynn or Malden. Google shows 4.9 stars from 29 ratings, and the company states NFPA certification. Nothing in the written record raises a real concern about the work itself. For custom ironwork — a railing, a fence, a spiral stair, or fire-escape repair — this is a well-reviewed, single-owner operation worth calling; confirm current pricing and lead time directly with Aylton, since the reviews on file run through 2024.
