Phoenix Iron Works is a family-owned welding and ironwork shop based in Gloucester, on Cape Ann, working in custom railings, ornamental ironwork, and aluminum docks and gangways for residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Its Google page shows a 5-star average across 9 ratings, with a review history running from 2021 to 2025 across three sources — a small but consistently positive record built on custom metalwork rather than high-volume repair calls. One thing worth flagging before calling: nothing in what the company itself publishes describes fence installation. Its own site lists welding, custom railings, ornamental ironwork, and aluminum dock work as its services — adjacent metalworking trades, not fencing as a standalone offering. For a custom iron railing, gate, or dock repair around Gloucester, the consistently high rating is a reasonable starting point — but anyone specifically shopping for fence installation should confirm directly that it's work the shop takes on.

We are THRILLED with our new entry railing crafted and installed by Fernando Hernandez of Phoenix Iron Works! The style of the new railing harmonizes with the 1940's railing on the ocean side of the house and was installed impeccably. Stable, sturdy and unobtrusive, it looks as though it has always been there! Fernando also restored the old rusty, peeling railing. It looks fantastic! Fernando is a skilled old-school craftsman. He is prompt, respectful, and true to his word. The new railing may look like a simple project, but we had previously tried using someone else who did not understand our requirements at all. Fernando listened carefully and was incredibly responsive to our needs. We cannot recommend Phoenix Iron Works highly enough. We'd give Fernando 10 stars if we could!!!

I can't recommend Phoenix Iron Works enough! Fernando is hands down the best welder in Gloucester. He did an incredible job on the ramps I needed for my marina, and I’ve also had him work on several other projects over the years. His craftsmanship is top-notch, and his prices are the best in town. Beyond his skill, Fernando is a pleasure to work with—easy to deal with, reliable, and always gets the job done right. If you need any welding work done, don't hesitate to reach out to Phoenix Iron Works!

The level of skill and expertise was clear from the start but the end product speaks for itself! From a simple sketch to a work of art. Another job well done!
