    Marcel and his crew did an exceptional job. We had a previous contractor who had left our exterior brownstone stairs unstable, having cut iron supports for it do lay stone. Marcel designed and fabricate side struts to match our existing stairs and installed them quickly and neatly. It took intelligence and craft and care and they did it all. Not cheap I will admit. But a great job.

    Can't say enough good things about Marcel and European Custom Iron. Called him up, he called back quick, showed up when he said he would — no runaround. Guy knows what he's doing and it shows in the work. Clean job, no shortcuts, and he kept me in the loop the whole time so there were no surprises. Fair price for the quality you get. If you need ironwork done and done right, call Marcel. You won't be disappointed.

    I rarely write reviews to begin with BUT, let me state that I have dealt with and hired many contractors for various of my personal and professional properties. I am also a professional and licensed mechanical and civil engineer so, I assume that what I am writing has a certain amount of "gravitas" and weight to it, and I must simply state that IF I had to use a single word to describe their work it would have to be IMPRESSIVE! From the beginning of the process (which started with a "realistic" estimate of cost and time of install) ...to the actual completion of the work, it was a seamless experience.<br>My communication with Marcel (the business's owner and designer) was excellent. He came to my home, we spoke of what was to be done and within a two week period ( short by most contractor standards)...the work was done in a professional, respectful, and highly efficient manner. Marcel (and his team) managed to translate my ideas for two exquisite railings to augment and compliment my 125 year old brownstone stoop into something even more with its' understated elegant design and functionality.<br>Again, I don't often do reviews of anything or anyone but in this case I just had to write this small testimonial for such excellent and superior work. This was literally the easiest dealing I have had with any contractor in a VERY, VERY long time. They are extremely professional and most reasonable in pricing and completion of work. This may sound a bit foolish for a professional, such as myself, but I sometimes put on my exterior security camera just to look at this very finely crafted and designed iron work. Seriously, I cannot get over the difference two railings have made to my building's exterior! THANK YOU again EUROPEN CUSTOM IRON!

    To: Marcel #1. First and foremost, thank you. I couldn’t be so happy right now. The work came out phenomenal. I really appreciate how you expressed to me in words and how you guided me through out this process. You made it easy for me to understand without confusing and over communicating. Your communication skills were A+. Very professional! Super confident! Class act! And most important an amazing human being. Him Marcel did not try to use words to make himself seem as if he were better than me. If did, he would have made me feel as if he were coming across as being arrogant. And I thank him for that. Simplicity is all he used to help me understand the ins and outs. Never once did he complicate things. Not many people can express themselves the way that he did. I see why European Custom Iron is highly ranked and praised. I also want to mention how your supervising skills were unmatched. Top tier! You never left the worksite. You were there from start to finish. That’s very rare. Honestly speaking, that there solidified how I viewed him. I felt confident. I knew that when all was said and done perfection is what’s going to be displayed. And exactly what I felt is exactly what I expected, “Perfection”. So with that being said, I just wanna give Marcel another huge shout out for keeping his word and executing the project. Thank you! God bless! Melvin!

    Marcel is a consummate professional. All interactions, from the initial inquiry to the handing over of the keys to our little gate door, left on us a positive impression. The workmanship is impeccable.

Company Background

About European Custom Iron

European Custom Iron is the choice on this list for owners of older houses who want ironwork that looks like it belongs. The shop sits at 72-16 Myrtle Avenue in Glendale, Queens, on a commercial lot, and the company says everything it sells is forged and welded there before its own crew installs it in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Staten Island.

The site has a full page on iron gates and fencing. It explains that city lots are narrow, irregular or shared, that corner properties face different height rules than mid-block ones, and that the shop measures the actual line before cutting anything. Services there include driveway gates, automated gates with remote, keypad or app control, and perimeter fence runs in steel, wrought iron, stainless or aluminum, finished with primer and paint or powder coat for outdoor exposure. The shop also builds stair and stoop railings, iron doors, fire escape repairs and historic restoration and replication work.

The site says the company is licensed and insured and has 30 years of experience but does not print a licence number, and we did not find a DCWP record under this name, so ask for the licence holder and number. The listed email is a Gmail address.

Reviews average a perfect 5.0 from 96 Google reviews, read November 10, 2026. Nearly every review names Marcel, who measures, helps with design and keeps owners updated through fabrication. Marshall described side struts Marcel designed to stabilize brownstone stairs another contractor had weakened, and Brennan called the railing work precise on an intricate job. Most reviews describe railings rather than fences, so ask to see fence and gate jobs.

European Custom Iron suits Ridgewood, Glendale, Bushwick and brownstone Brooklyn owners who want a custom iron fence or gate made to match old ironwork. It suits less well a budget chain link or vinyl job. Before booking, ask for a written quote with metal, finish and anchoring method, the lead time for fabrication, the warranty on paint and welds, and the DCWP licence number.
