Can we visit the shop?

Please do. 669 N Cora Street, Ridgway. Call 970.626.2100 first so Tom is there and the forge is lit.

Yes. Our own crew sets every piece, on a new build or inside a finished home.

How long does a commission take?

It depends on the piece and the season. A gate or a set of fireplace doors runs weeks; a stair with its railing runs longer. We will give you a realistic schedule with the estimate and hold to it.

Can you match a piece we already have?

Yes. Bring a photograph or the piece itself to the shop and we will draw to it.

What is the difference between forgework and fabrication?

Forgework is iron heated and shaped at the anvil: gates, railings, fireplace doors, hardware, light fixtures. Fabrication is steel cut, formed and welded to a drawing: doors, stairs, structural and architectural steel, furniture, kitchens, paneling. The same crew does both to the same standard.

Do you give estimates?

Yes. After a conversation and the drawings we provide a free estimate or submit a bid, in writing.

The shop is in Ridgway, Colorado. The work goes to Telluride, Mountain Village, Ridgway, Ouray, Silverton, Durango, Aspen and beyond.

Who do you work with?

Builders, architects, interior designers and owners. Often all of them on one house. We are as at home inside a finished home as on a new build.
