Recent Clients

"They nailed the design and the timeline."

"We hired Ferro for a floating staircase in our East Austin remodel. The team handled engineering, fabrication, and install — and the install crew was the cleanest we've worked with. It's the centerpiece of the whole house."
R. CastellanosHomeowner · East Cesar Chavez
"Ferro built a 9-foot pivot door for a Mueller modern build. Shop drawings on time, fabrication on time, install on time. We'll spec them again."
K. PatelGeneral Contractor · Austin
"They quoted in-person, sketched the railing on the spot, and the finish on the matte black turned out exactly like the reference we sent. Highly recommend."

FAQ

The questions Austin clients ask most.

How fast can you turn a project around?

Most of our residential projects ship in under two weeks from approved design to install. We keep raw stock on hand and run our own fab shop in East Austin, which is why we hit lead times most fabricators can't touch. Tell us your deadline — we'll tell you straight if we can hit it.

Do you do residential and commercial?

Yes — homeowners, builders, architects, general contractors, property managers. Residential, light commercial, and full commercial fabrication. Structural steel, doors, stairs, railings, gates, custom architectural pieces.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. Free 30-minute design consult, free site walk, written estimate after we understand scope. No pressure, no high-touch sales.

Do you handle design, fabrication, and install?

All three, in-house. We draw it, build it in our East Austin shop, and our own install crew sets it. No subcontractors, no handoffs that lose detail.

Do you handle permits and engineering?

We coordinate with your architect or engineer on stamped drawings and can recommend trusted partners. We pull our portion of permits when applicable.

Do you do mobile / on-site welding?

Yes — mobile welding crews across the Austin metro for job-site work, ranch repairs, structural fixes, and emergency calls.

What materials do you work in?

Steel, stainless, aluminum, wrought iron. MIG, TIG, and stick welding. Powder coat, hot-dip galvanize, oil-rubbed, bronze, matte black, brushed — name the finish.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes, fully licensed and insured. General liability and workers' comp. Certificates available on request.

Do you ship outside Austin?

We focus on the Austin metro for full design-fab-install. We ship fabricated pieces statewide on a case-by-case basis.
