J B Metal Works - Des Plaines, Illinois

As part of our home refresh involving many contractors and vendors, we wanted to add some railings to our front porch and for steps leading from the house to our patio. We worked with Steve at J B Metal Works to custom design and install 3 railings. Excellent service, design, craftsmanship and installation. Highly recommend them for metal work you may need.

43 years ago my husband Tommy Ohman and I purchased a room divider that would hold up the roof of our home in Arlington Heights. They crafted an iron metal made with grapes in it for my family's vineyards.

Beautiful strong and durable.

The owner is a 78 uear old metal crafter who is a Viet Nam vet who served in Italy and Viet Nam in communications.

Work is always stellar, I am waiting for an estimate for a five foot, four plant, circular
planter.

Father and daughter work well together.

I am always impressed with both.

Just what I was looking for, a company that cares about its customers. They came out in a timely manner to measure and take photos. Very kind family owned business. They did excellent work, attention to detail. Even put a removable hand rail to hold on to. Will recommend to any one looking for nice quality railings.

An absolutely wonderful experience and I would highly recommend them. I had a railing on my front steps that had posts that were rusting. Steve came out to my home on a weekend to evaluate what could be done. I was given a few options and he even suggested I go with the least expensive. It was a very quick turnaround as they picked up the railing on a Monday and reinstalled it two days later. Everyone I dealt with was professional, efficient and pleasant and the railing looks great!

J.B. Metal Works designed, crafted, and installed railings for the front entrance of my home in 1988 and in 2023 when the railings needed to be updated following stairs replacement. There was no question that I wanted J.B. Metal Works to do the job.
Working with Steve and Brent was a highly collaborative experience. I was treated with genuine respect and kindness. I was regularly consulted and kept informed of updates throughout the duration of the project. The result was even better than I imagined.
Uncompromising attention was paid to detail, ensuring that the railings were done in accordance with Arlington Heights village code. The quality of the craftsmanship is unsurpassed. Their work attests to the company’s commitment and dedication to quality and personalized service.

Came in to have repairs done on 6 metal chairs. Their craftsmanship was excellent, they had prompt repairs and fair pricing. I enjoyed talking to the owner about his long time family owned business. I am a repeat customer, and will definitely go back for work, and metal purchases. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this business. His shop is definitely something to see-a very interesting place to visit.

I had two new porches poured at my Mom's house in Niles and, due to my Mom's age, we needed iron railings installed as soon as the concrete cured. Steve understood my situation and even came out to measure while the front porch was just being completed. The quote was competitive and railings were installed. My Mom and I could not be any happier with the work that was performed and the service that we received. The railings are beautiful and now my Mom feels safe to use the stairs. GREAT WORK JB Metal Works!

I can't say enough about J B Metal Works. They know how to do the kind of artistic, architectural metalwork that craftsmen of yore created. You can rest assured when you have railings done through this company they will last for many lifetimes. And they are great to interact with in the planning stage of a job. That means total confidence when they come on site for installation. Start to finish, it's five stars all the way!
