Norfolk Iron Works Inc.

All three of the reviews on Norfolk Iron Works' Google listing are about railings, and all three name Nick. A customer in July 2025 had a custom railing fabricated and installed for their front steps and called the process smooth and the price fair; a February 2025 customer had a railing put in on their steps and recommended the company for railing work; a 2023 customer wrote that the job was finished well before the original estimate. The shop sits on River Road in Uxbridge and describes itself as a custom metal fabricator — railings, fences, stairs and light structural steel in stainless, aluminum, wrought iron, galvanized and powder-coated metal, for houses and commercial buildings. Its own site claims 35 years in business; the Better Business Bureau file has the company incorporated in 1990, with Nicholas Alexander as its principal, and lists a second location in Hopedale. Boston is the service area the company states. One practical note before you dial: the Bureau's profile prints (508) 482-9162 while the company's own site gives 508-779-7475. For an exterior railing or a metal fence built to a drawing, this is a shop that makes the part rather than ordering it in. Ask for an installed price rather than a materials quote, get the metal and the finish written into it, and ask to see a comparable railing they have hung nearby.
