Boston Iron Works custom fabricated metal front step railings to complement a customer's wooden porch railings, and the customer wrote that "Installation was very careful and precise."

When a customer said they were going away, Boston Iron Works volunteered to get the front entrance railings fabricated and installed in a week. Boston Iron Works resecured security grills that had become detached from a customer's building and showed up next day of business. In 2026 a customer wrote that Ramon came out to the house within a day to two and sent an estimate within minutes of leaving.

Boston Iron Works put in a handsome railing from the sidewalk up to my front walk, just two steps but it makes all the difference for those who have trouble with stairs. Slight misunderstanding about the color but I’m happy with it. Nice job.
I contracted Boston Iron Works to build an iron and glass shower door and a pair of matching cabinet doors for us in March 2026 with a promised install date of late April. It is now mid-September and we have been misled, lied to, and ignored by Bruno for months on end. I own a small business myself and hate that it's come to this, but I am left with no confidence that this project will ever be completed, or completed correctly. I now have my hands tied with 5 months wasted, a semi-completed project that is floundering, and a deposit that I've paid. I can't really fathom running my business this way, and I would never recommend working with Bruno.
We wanted metal front step railings that complimented our existing wooden porch railings which have a unique geometric pattern. Boston Iron Works was able to custom fabricate exactly what we wanted. Installation was very careful and precise. The communication throughout was great. Highly recommended.
We could not be happier with the amazing iron railing installed by Boston Iron Works! Jeff could not be nicer and helped us design a railing to accommodate our uneven granite stairs built in the 19th century! The installation was so carefully done! See the photos! The railing looks like it was always here! We cannot recommend this company more highly!
Fantastic experience. They came out to measure and give an estimate, and we’re very professional. The estimate was very close to another we’d gotten. They said it would be two weeks before installation, and when we said we were going away, they volunteered to get our front entrance railings fabricated and installed in a week. The installation went smoothly, and the railings look great!
