Architectural metalwork defined by precision, innovation, and four generations of expertise.
Selected Work
From landmark estate gates in Miami Beach to a glass stair floating over a lap pool and a curved black marble spiral in Miami, this is metalwork that becomes part of the architecture.
Private Residence, Miami Beach. A frameless glass railed floating stair running the length of the lap pool, with stone treads, a stainless handrail, and nothing between you and the water.
Private Residence, Miami. Shot from above: a sculptural curved stair in black marble with brass inlay, winding around a cascading glass light fixture.
Private Residence, Miami. A steel staircase finished in Venetian plaster, conceived as a sculptural element: continuous curves and seamless transitions that read as both structure and art.
Hallandale Beach. The full lobby from the floor: level after level of bronze stair and vertical slat railing rising past the glass walls above the lounge seating.
Miami Beach. Complete refurbishing and refinishing of the entry gates and fencing at a historic landmark estate.
Private Residence, Miami Beach. A white vertical slat driveway gate, crisp and bright, private without closing the house off.
Private Residence, Miami Beach. Stainless cable railing under a warm wood soffit canopy, the view stays wide open, the balcony stays safe.
Private Residence, Miami Beach. An arched Ipe gate with hand set iron studs and a cross grille, disappearing into the palms.
Miami Beach. Sculptural terrace railings built to hold their finish in salt air.
Inside the same waterfront residence, a floating stair with a glass guard climbs the double height living room, ring pendants hanging through the open well.
Private Residence. Wood grain aluminum vertical fin screens shade the facade, paired with glass balcony railings that leave the architecture front and center.
Private Residence, Miami Beach. Up top, a frameless glass railing guards the rooftop terrace without stealing a degree of the sky.
Restaurant, Miami Beach. A decorative art glass and metal partition, metalwork as artwork, lit from within.
Private Residence. A black sliding driveway gate on pavers between white garden walls, quiet, flat bar modern, built to glide daily.
Capabilities
Where design ambition meets technical precision. We transform aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and bronze into distinctive architectural elements crafted to elevate every space.
Picket, cable, glass, and blackened steel railings for stairs, balconies, terraces, and pool decks, interior and exterior, code tight and clean lined.
Feature stairs and spirals engineered, fabricated, and set by the same team that measured them. No hand offs, no surprises at install.
Driveway gates, pedestrian gates, and full perimeter fencing, from hand forged traditional to flat bar modern, built for daily use and coastal weather.
Freestanding and attached pergolas in aluminum and steel, louvered, slatted, and solid roof designs that turn a patio, pool deck, or terrace into a shaded room of its own. Finished in powder coat or our wood grain aluminum for a warmer look.
Garden and architectural trellises that carry vines, shade a walkway, or give a plain wall a living layer, built to hold their line and finish in South Florida sun and rain.
Metal wall cladding and panel systems that give facades and feature walls depth, shadow, and a finish that lasts, including wood grain aluminum slats and fins over large elevations.
Architectural sunscreens, privacy screens, and louvers that manage South Florida sun without giving up the design, plus window grilles and decorative panels, including authentically hand forged aluminum grilles made with centuries old blacksmithing techniques.
Custom furniture, gazebos, and the miscellaneous metals packages other shops pass on. The odd detail is usually our favorite part of the job.
Featured Material
This is aluminum with a wood grain finish. From a few feet away it reads as real timber, grain and all. Up close it is still aluminum: it does not rot, warp, split, or ask for the sanding, sealing, and repainting that real wood demands in South Florida heat, rain, and salt air.
We build with it across the whole exterior: pergolas, trellises, louvers, fences, gates, railings, and screens, anywhere a design calls for wood but the climate argues against it.
Choose a laminated wood grain finish or a sublimation finish, where the grain is transferred into the coating itself. We will show you samples of both and help you pick for the exposure.
The finished material cannot be welded without destroying the grain, so every piece is mechanically fastened, bolted, screwed, and bracketed. That joinery is designed in from the first drawing, not improvised in the field.
Pergolas, trellises, louvers, fences, gates, railings, screens, and wall cladding, one warm material carried cleanly across the whole project.
Beyond the standard timber tones, custom colors are available, so the grain can be matched to the rest of the project's palette.
Who We Serve
For the visionaries who push boundaries, the builders who demand precision, and the homeowners who appreciate exceptional craftsmanship. We deliver architectural metalwork without compromise.
You bring the idea, a gate that makes the arrival, a stair that stops guests mid sentence. We bring 55 years of turning ideas into metal that still looks right decades later.
Visit the shop or meet on site. We sketch, sample finishes, and show photorealistic renderings before a single cut is made.
The people who measure your home are the people who build and install your piece. Nothing gets lost in translation.
Materials and finishes chosen for South Florida sun, salt, and storms, so the gate still swings true in year ten.
Four generations of the same family stand behind every install. When you call, you reach us.
Bid it, draw it, build it, install it. One accountable partner for the full ornamental and miscellaneous metals scope, from first takeoff to final punch.
Send the drawings. We take off railings, stairs, gates, and misc metals as one package, value engineered where it saves you money without costing design.
Our drafters produce submittal ready shop drawings and coordinate field dimensions, so approvals move and fabrication starts on time.
A named project manager owns your job end to end, runs a weekly deliverables sweep, and answers for status before you have to ask.
Photo documented installs and stage by stage progress reporting keep your supers, owners, and billing in sync.
The Process
Exceptional architectural metalwork requires more than skilled fabrication. Our comprehensive process brings together technical expertise, precision manufacturing, and dedicated project coordination to ensure every element is thoughtfully executed from concept through installation.
Every exceptional project begins with understanding the vision. We collaborate with clients, architects, designers, and builders to evaluate design intent, project requirements, materials, and site conditions, establishing a clear foundation for success.
Precision begins long before fabrication. Our team develops detailed shop drawings, coordinates engineering requirements, and refines technical details to ensure every component meets the project's architectural intent and performance requirements.
Where craftsmanship meets technology. Within our South Florida manufacturing facility, skilled artisans and advanced fabrication equipment transform raw materials into exceptional architectural elements, with meticulous attention to accuracy, quality, and detail.
The difference is in the details. From architectural powder coatings and specialty finishes to wood-grain effects and custom treatments, every surface is carefully finished and inspected for lasting beauty, durability, and consistency.
The final expression of our craftsmanship. Our installation teams bring each project to life with precision, care, and attention to detail. From final adjustments to comprehensive quality reviews, we remain committed to delivering an exceptional finished product.
Since 1969
Founded in 1969, Toledo Iron Works began as a family-owned ironworking shop built on craftsmanship, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to quality. What started with traditional ornamental ironwork has evolved across four generations into one of South Florida's established names in custom architectural metal fabrication.
Today, we combine decades of hands-on expertise with advanced manufacturing technology, precision engineering coordination, and innovative fabrication techniques to bring extraordinary architectural visions to life. From intricate decorative elements to large-scale architectural installations, our commitment to excellence remains unchanged.
Four generations later, Toledo Iron Works remains family-owned and operated, with the same dedication to craftsmanship, personal accountability, and lasting relationships that defined our beginnings.
Our legacy isn't simply measured in years. It's reflected in the work we leave behind.
