Metalmonger Iron Works

This is a review for Metalmonger Ironworks, based in Forest Hill, California. Daniel crafted and installed my custom swimming pool rail in Winter 2025. He took my multiple graph paper scribblings, coupled them with his own excellent designers eye and expertise in ironworks, and created the magical art piece that now sits at the side of my swimming pool, eliciting OOOHs and AAHHs from everybody who lays eyes upon it! What makes Dan truly unique is that he has a way of communicating with you to make sure everything is clear and precise, because he truly wants to give you what you want, so he communicates and confirms every step, to help him fabricate on his worktable what you see inside your mind. He is not afraid to tell you what will work in metal and what will not, and I totally apprecia

We were so fortunate to have found Dan to help us with our North Lake Tahoe remodel. He immediately demonstrated his integrity, professionalism, and responsiveness as he eagerly engaged with us to understand our project. He listened to and discussed with us our goals & options for the metal stair railing. Worked with us on design ideas and budget considerations. And he completed the installation ahead of schedule…over-delivering on every aspect of his contributions to our home. Dan is definitely the right guy to work with on all things metal!! 🙌👍

We recently had the pleasure of working with Dan from Metal Monger for a custom black powder-coated railing for our deck, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the entire experience. From our very first interaction, Dan was exceptional—professional, communicative, and an absolute pleasure to work with. He set clear expectations and then completely exceeded them. Throughout the process, Dan kept us updated at every step, even sending progress photos so we always knew how things were moving along. His pricing was more than fair for the craftsmanship and quality delivered, and he was always respectful of our time and space. When the final product was installed, we were truly blown away—not only by the stunning aesthetic it added to our home, but also by the top-notch quality and durability

I can’t say enough how happy I am with my spiral staircase. Dan (owner of Metalmonger) personally built my staircase (all welded) and it’s absolutely beautiful. From start to finish, Dan sent me pictures of every step of the project and always kept me informed. Dan absolutely exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend Metalmonger !! I will send pictures soon!

Many thanks to Dan! In short, Dan was fabulous! Extremely knowledgable, an excellent communicator, a "straight shooter", and an impressive problem solver. Call Dan at Metal Monger Iron Works! I think you will be pleased and impressed too! Please read on for the details. I was anxious about a safety issue and didn't know who to call. I was truly excited to find that Metal Monger was so close to me, and I desperately needed a solution for a wheelchair accessible gate that was not functioning. So, I thought a metal gate was what I needed. Amazingly, when I called, Metal Monger, Dan answered the phone himself, listened to my needs, and asked excellent questions. After seeing some photos, he determined that a visit was needed, in part, because some tricky fittings needed to be considered. He
