“Israel and team just completed a job at our home! Working in tandem with our general contractor Mayland Construction, Israel removed 17 interior hollow core doors and all 1990 baseboards. He did a masterful job of custom fitting all new doors, casing, and baseboards throughout our home. Perhaps my favorite, Israel removed the outdated drywall arch and crafted the wood beam installation from beautiful cypress wood. Professional, knowledgable, courteous and a clean job site, Israel did an outstanding job. I would highly recommend him for any and all carpentry work. Well done!”

“Isreal with Iron Grain far exceeded our expectations with our powder bath remodel! He is a true craftsman. He built 2 floating selves on the back wall along with the vanity wood reveal and lower floating shelve. He then designed a removable wooden divider to hide the p trap. Isreal’s work is top notch. We currently have him working on a few more projects to be completed in the coming weeks. Highly recommend!! (Last photo is before his work)”

“We hired Iron Grain to build a kitchen hood and open shelving. I picked a rustic look with iron hood and pipe shelving. They did a great job and would hire them again in the future! Very nice and professional throughout the entire process!”

“Iron Grain is reliable in every way: service, quality, responsiveness. Israel’s work is top notch and his results match expectations; frequently better. He can expertly work around spacing issues, offering clever options. All our shelving is adjustable and the drawers glide effortlessly. His welding skills are also high quality. We’ve tried ‘em both. Equally appreciated is his friendliness and prompt response to our messages. He makes us feel as though we’re his most important clients.”

“Israel was fantastic to work with! I had a DIY project I found on tik tok that was not so DIY… He took my vision and really brought it to life! He was very easy to work with and quick too, we got it done in great timing even during the holidays! Definitely recommend him and we will be using him for more projects in the future!”

“Israel with Iron Grain recently added upper cabinets to our existing kitchen cabinets and detailing to our island. He did a fantastic job!!! I was so thankful to have found someone who listens and does excellent, outstanding work!! Israel was wonderful to work with and we were so happy with the work he did for us. He made it so easy!!! We already want him to come back and do another little project in our kitchen. You can trust him to be honest, fair and do an outstanding job!!”

“I was fortunate that a friend referred me to Israel and his company Iron Grain. He created a beautiful oxidized metal door for her salon and she suggested I call him for my iron fence and gate project. I sent Israel a photo of what I was looking for, and the final product is perfect, and just what I wanted. I love it! Israel was great to work with and he knows his stuff. He is detail-oriented and organized, and I already have projects in mind for him to build excellent things for us in the future.”

“Went to Iron Grain to have a small piece welded. Israel was kind enough to take the small job other places would not take because it was not worth their time. Not only did Israel take the small project, he did a great job as well. Also one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Highly recommend Iron Grain for any welding or woodworking needs. Thanks Israel!”

“Iron Grain did a remarkable job in building a vent hood, extending existing cabinets to the ceiling, as well as building a cabinet with a display above our fridge. Israel and his son were reliable. They were here when they said they would be here, they answered my phone calls and texts, and they gave me a realistic time frame for completion. In my opinion, this makes Iron Grain a superior contractor among their competitors! I could not be happier with the work they did.”

“Israel did an absolutely fantastic job on my office built in’s Most of the work is done in his shop which keeps the mess down which they tidy anyway. High quality workmanship, communicated updates regularly and turned up when they were supposed to. I would recommend in a heartbeat. One of the best tradesmen I have ever come across either in the UK or in the USA. I will use again without question. Great value for high quality.”

“Can’t say enough good things about Israel and his work! He’s like Chip from Magnolia and Clint from Harp Design all in one! First, Israel is always punctual - he’ll be there on the dot. The works is very high quality and exceeded our expectations. Also, if there’s something he feels he can’t do or doesn’t believe he can do well he’ll tell you upfront - his honesty is admirable. We are definitely going to use Iron Grain for our future projects.”

“I highly recommend Iron Grain. Israel was prompt, professional, and did a fantastic job building mud room storage in our laundry room. He offers reasonable pricing and exceptional work. I will contact him again for future projects.”

“We have used Iron Grain twice. The first job was to repair 2 iron gates on each side of our house leading to our pool. The gates fit and work perfectly and are sturdier than the original gates. After seeing the quality work from the gates, we later needed some cabinet work done inside our house to fill in the "oversized hole" where our old bulky TV was replaced with a new, modern TV. After Iron Grain was finished, I wish I would have had it done sooner. The cabinet work matches perfectly - no one knows the cabinets are not all original - and I'm enjoying my new TV.”

“Israel did a small welding and wood job for me that was superior! Better than I expected and finished sooner than expected. I was very pleased with the work and especially the customer service he provided. I will definitely use him again and would recommend highly to others.”

“We had our master bathroom vanities and tower done by Israel and we absolutely love them ! Great quality cabinets and customer service was great as well . We will definitely recommend anyone interested in any carpentry work to Israel.”

“I would highly recommend Iron Grain for any carpentry or metal work. I’m very happy with the barn doors Israel made for me. He really listened to what I had in mind and I’m very happy with the finished result!”

“Iron Grain did an awesome job on both of my bathroom vanities. They also repaired an awful job done by a previous contractor in my shower. I now have my dream bathroom.”

“My husband surprised me with a vanity! I loved the quality and would give more than 5 stars if I could. Israel does an amazing job. I highly recommend.”

“OMG! what an amazing job Israel and his crew did. from the designing to the actual install, the entire process was seamless. completely transformed my space! very honest and trustworthy. will use him again!”

“Very recommended and great quality! I wouldn't get custom work anywhere else. Iron Grain goes above and beyond, really listens and makes the most out of your space!”
