Piscopo Iron Works

Gasper restored the original cast iron railing, fence, and gates to my house to its original condition. In a few months, he will repair, upgrade the looks and security, and reset the window bars, the gate to the garden apartment, and the gate to my door. I had several companies come and examine the front of my house and provide recommendations. Gasper provided the most detailed analysis of how he could repair, upgrade, restore, and increase safety out of all the companies I had visited. He was also able to explain the process, potential outcomes, potential problems, and all elements surrounding the issue and process better than everybody else. I spent a lot of time talking with him, visiting his shop, and meeting with the rest of his team. He has the skill and experience, his team members have the skill and experience, and he has the facilities and resources to optimize the outcome and address any unforeseen problems. Luckily, I have not had any trouble with contractors working on my house; however, my neighbors have encountered numerous contractors who did shoddy work, were incoherent, or drove away and never contacted anybody again. You don't have that issue with Gasper and his company. Finally, the part I enjoyed about working with Piscopo is that he is a craftsman, at least how I envision one. Watching him and his team work, and visiting his shop, made me understand that you were getting a human eye and hand working on your project over putting it through an assembly line. This shows up in hundreds of nuanced parts of the project that combine to create an outcome closer to a carved work of art than a manufactured

Gasper made our new, sturdy street cellar door in December. He was professional, an excellent, excellent communicator, and delivered earlier than promised. The quality is excellent; I thought the price was fair for the superior work. I definitely recommend Piscopo and will contact him for all future projects.

Gasper and his team were extremely PATIENT and worked directly with my GC and Architect throughout the entire renovation. He restored 100 year old historic iron work on the entire front of my home to near perfection and historical accuracy. Garden gate, front railings, stoop railings, windows guards He carefully worked to install IBeams on the entire back of the home which allowed us to open up the entire back facade as well as fabricating/installing a deck. As the old saying goes you pay for what you get. If you care about your home and want it done right the first time these are the guys to use !

I found Piscopo when searching for custom railings on google and they had all 5-star reviews. I received nothing less! Gaspar was a pleasure to work with and made the whole process very flawless and easy. I’m very happy with the results and would use them again:

Beautiful work with a fast, clean install. Gasper has a great eye for design, sent me a sketch in advance to make sure I knew how it would come out, and explained what needed to be done to make it safe and code compliant. Would definitely hire Piscopo again!

Piscopo made a beautiful fence for my front yard and rails for my stoop and installed everything along with reclaimed posts. It all looks fantastic and Piscopo couldn't have been easier to work with -- friendly, punctual and precise.

Piscopo designed and installed an iron security door and window guards for our garden level apartment. Working with Gasper was great. He listened to what we wanted and made great suggestions. And, when the installation was happening, an unforeseen issue arose and they quickly suggested some alternatives to make sure we got what we wanted. The workmanship is great and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for iron work.

We are very happy with the professionalism and quality of work of Piscopo Iron Works! Gasper was communicative and collaborative, and helped us define a scope of work and design that met our needs and fit our budget. They built a custom staircase so we could add garden access to our brownstone home, and are very pleased with the results.

I am not someone who often writes reviews but I could not let my positive experience and satisfaction with Gasper and his workers go unnoticed. I found the website for Piscopo Iron Works when I was searching for someone to repair and restore the railing and newels for my family house in Brooklyn. The house was built in 1899 and was purchased by my grandfather in 1924. The railings and newels had been ‘patched up’ through the years but were now clearly in need of more extensive restoration. Gasper promptly responded to my call and came to visually assess the work. He explained the process of sand blasting to remove the many coats of paint and how he could provide a more thorough assessment at that point. He invited me to the shop to see the railings and newels in their stripped down condition and explained the repairs necessary and how it would done. Gasper was knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He understood my intent to maintain the heritage and integrity of my home. His workers were experienced and thorough in their work right down to washing down the area when done. I highly recommend Piscopo Iron Works.

I requested a handrail for the steps in front of my brownstone by sending a couple of photos of a handrail I had admired on a neighbor's steps. Within about two weeks the job was completed, and the handrail is virtually identical to the one I had admired. These guys are excellent; highly skilled, responsive, fast, and fairly priced. I would hire them again, and recommend them for any iron work.
