Art Metal Workshop Inc Ranked Best of 2016 Homestars Award
Homestars has adjusted their award structure to include currently ranked companies for an award. We are the best of 2016.
"We have made a change to award companies in the current year, rather than the previous year. So today we awarded the Best of 2016, which are based on all the reviews published throughout 2015. (Historically, we awarded a Best of Award for the previous year, which meant the award was already a year old when you got it! For example, last year, in February 2015 we awarded the Best of 2014, recognizing the work they did in 2014.)…" more details here

Customer Testimonials
Fencing and Railing
When we contacted Alex from Art Metal Workshop he made an appointment for a quote. For what we requested, the price was fair for what we were getting. The owner arrived punctual and was precise with his measurements. Although the installation was longer than expected, it was well worth the wait. When the crew arrived they worked steadily until the job was completed even in poor weather conditions. The quality and craftsmanship is by far the best we have seen in this line of work. When you hire Art Metal Workshop you also get their guarantee and support. When our concrete raised and damaged the gate frame, Alex he sent out a crew to quickly fix it. We are very pleased with Art Metal Workshop they helped us complete the vision for the exterior part of our home. So much in fact that we are looking at having Art Metal Workshop do more work for us. Thank you Alex we appreciate all that you have done for us and we look forward in doing more business with you. Please look at the pictures and judge for yourself.

Glass Panels for Staircase
Alex and the guys at Art Metal are the most efficient and caring guys I have met through this very difficult job. What started with a very confusing and complicated problem, Alex had all the right answers, saw the job to the end and maintained the most utmost professionalism throughout the entire experience. It was an absolute pleasure working with Art Metal! There's a reason why they've been around for soo many years!!

I had a new porch made this summer and I needed railings. I called Art Metal Workshop and they came the very next day for an estimate. It took a while to get the railings, but they are definintely worth the wait!! They are beautiful!!! I couldn't be more pleased with the transformation of my porch. These railing really bring everything together and make everything look fantastic!

Iron and Glass railing for back deck
Art Metal were very professional in their dealings with us. We had previously tried to work with a couple other railings companies and after waiting weeks and not even receiving a quote, it was a real pleasure dealing with Art Metal. They followed design guidelines and when at first, there was a misunderstanding in color requirements, they changed the color without any fuss. We were very pleased and look forward to working with them again on our front yard railings.

Glass and iron railing
Art metal had the most competitive price and the quality of the work was exemplary. The railing turned out exactly as we had imagined. Not only did they do the main railing but they re-unforced our stairs an did a second regular railing.

Railing on front porch
We had our stairs built ten years ago without a handrail and liked the look. Unfortunately our insurance company did not – and demanded we add a hand rail (although I noted there were so many porches in our area just like ours). Reluctantly I looked for a railing company. Art Metal Workshop were my first choice – not only because of their reviews, but their pricing was reasonable and their portfolio photos had such variety and quality. I was not disappointed – just like other reviewers writing here, they came quickly to measure and give me a quote. Alex sent the estimate by email and once I chose the handrail, he called to offer design assistance – improving on the idea to make sure I got something simple and tasteful. I chose a terrible colour initially (what I thought was a chocolate rust brown to match our brick looked more like poo brown). They arrived with the brown rail – and when I realized my mistake, they took the railing back without question and re-painted with a new colour. Great service and I now have a great looking railing. Thanks Alex, Yvgenly and everyone at AMW. Best wishes, Nancy

Interior railing
We just got our interior railing installed today. What a beautiful piece of art, no wonder you are the best in the last 4 years. We are extremely happy and we will recommend your company to all our friends.

Porch Railing
Based on HomeStars, I decided to go with Art Metal Workshop.. My choice was confirmed by the StoneMasons that built my porch. Because of their heavy work load, the installation was two weeks late. However, the quality of the product, the workmanship and the professional installation more than compensated for the delay. The price was fair. I personally would recommend Art Metal to anyone looking for porch railings..

Front Porch Railing
We wanted to jazz up the front of our home with a railing around the porch. We found Art Metal Workshop on Homestars, and gave them a call. Yevgeniy came out, measured up, and gave us a quote on the spot. We then met with Alex at his shop so that we could look over the work they do and styles they offer (nice work!). They're pretty busy in the summer, so it took them 8 weeks to the day to install the railing, but we couldn't be happier. Looks great, and we wouldn't hesitate to call on them again. Thanks, guys!

Iron railings and Gate
We looked around for wrought iron railings and a wrought iron gate with wood in it for a while. We received other quotes but Art Metal beat those quotes by a long shot. They were also incredibly quick to respond to my request and they came out within days of my in it al contact. Many other companies that I contacted waited weeks to get back to me and some never bothered getting back to me at all. When Yevgeniy came out to look at the job, he was accurate and offered many great suggestions. Although the gate we requested was not something typically done by Art Metal, he was up for the task and convinced that he could do it. Once completed, the final product was exactly what I asked for. The installations was great, three men came by and completed the job without any issues at all. They did a fantastic job, very friendly, very professional and these guys know what they are doing. Overall, we are completely thrilled with our new railings and gate and feel that we got an amazing product for a more than reasonable price. If you are looking for someone to do this type of work, trust me, I've done my research and shopped around, they don't get better then ART METAL!

Custom Ironwork Awning
I contacted Art Metal to design and install a custom ironwork awning for my back door leading into the garden. I had seen various ironwork awnings on several trips to Europe and a few in Toronto and described what I was looking for. Art Metal developed a custom and unique design based on my description and a few pictures. They were courteous and professional throughout the entire project right from the very initial meetings to understand my ideas through to design, build and installation. They would allow me to come to the workshop at various stages throughout the build to discuss and view design elements to ensure they were building exactly what I was looking for. The build and installation were delivered on time. I love the finished product and would recommend Art Metal to anyone looking for custom iron work. I will definitely use their services again.

Exterior railings for front porch & stairs
The Art Metal team was willing to work with our design ideas, and the railings were produced and installed within the time quoted. The workers also came out for touch-ups to fix minor surface imperfections. The railings are sturdy, look great, and we are very happy with them.

Indoor glass railing for staircase
We are so incredibly pleased with the work that Art Metal completed for us. We absolutely love our new railing! The quality is excellent — it is exactly what we hoped for and exactly what they promised they could deliver. As others have pointed out, their pricing is fair and the cost was clearly outlined for us from beginning to end with no "surprise costs" at the end. We could not be more happy! We have already recommended Art Metal Shop to others and will definitely use them again for an upcoming outdoor project.

Railing for front of house
We wanted a unique railing that fit the look of the house and surrounding gardens. The Art Metal team was so easy to work with. They listened to what we wanted and we then had an opportunity to look at the design before it was welded to make any changes. They created a work of art and provided great service – you will not be disappointed!

Railing for Our Front Porch
We spent a lot of time looking for someone to craft railings for our newly restored front porch. It had to be just right for our small space – aesthetically pleasing and functional. We first located Eugene and Orlov through their website (www.iron-railings.net) where we noticed there beautiful designs. Response to our inquiries was fast, and within no time we had a personal visit for measurements and a quote that provided a number of customized options. They even provided elegant suggestions on how to work around our pillars. The results as you can see from the attached photo are perfect for our front porch. We get lots of compliments on the results and we have no qualms recommending Iron Railings to other.

Interior & Exterior Iron Railings
I was shopping around for railing for a very long time trying to match quality with the price…. When I found Iron Railings, at first,I fell in love with their designs and craftsmanship . I was surprised with affordable prices and service. Yevgeniy and Oleg are very nice people to work with. We already worked twice and will work again in the future. I will definitely recommend Iron Railings as the source of any wrought iron work people might need.

Iron Railings for the front porch
I spent a lot of time looking for someone to craft the railing for our new front porch. Many contractors never bothered to call me back or never showed up to give me an estimate. When I first contacted Eugene through email, the response time was impeccable. He called me the same day to give me an estimate. And once I gave him the go ahead, he showed up the same day at 9pm to take the measurements. Now that's dedication! I knew right away that I made the right choice deciding which contractors to deal with. Out of all the contractors I had to deal with through the renovation of my house, Iron Railings was the smoothest and hassle free. It was a pleasant surprise to come home one day to see the beautiful railings already installed. I had no idea that Eugene was coming to install it. It was a pleasure to deal with Iron Railings. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. The craftsmanship is absolutely beautiful – the design match the front door so perfectly. I received many compliments from everybody. Thank you for making it so easy!!!
