Residential Metalwork

Custom Metalwork for the Home

A home's character is expressed through its details. The texture of a fireplace surround, the sheen of a custom kitchen range hood, the warmth of a hammered brass serving cart — these pieces become heirlooms. At Brass Works, we bring the same precision and artistry to residential commissions that we apply to our most demanding commercial projects. Every home piece is made to specification, built to last, and designed to complement the architectural vision of the space.

Fireplace Surrounds & Metalwork

The fireplace is often the visual anchor of a living room or study. Custom fireplace metalwork — trim, surround panels, screens, and hearth accents — can transform a standard opening into an architectural centerpiece. We have produced hammered bronze fireplace trim, ornate mantel metalwork, and custom fireplace screens in finishes ranging from polished brass to oil rubbed bronze. Each piece is sized to the specific firebox and designed to read as an integral part of the room's design language.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, fireplace surrounds and metalwork should be fabricated from appropriate heat-resistant materials with proper clearances — a standard we design to from the outset of every residential fireplace commission.

Kitchen Range Hoods & Appliance Surrounds

A custom metal range hood is one of the most impactful single elements in a kitchen renovation. Our stainless steel kitchen hoods are fabricated to fit exact dimensions and can be finished with brushed stainless, hammered copper, polished brass, or any of our standard finishing options. We also produce custom surrounds for kitchen appliances and built-in refrigerators, ensuring the metalwork reads as a cohesive system rather than a collection of separate elements.

Hammered Serving Carts & Furniture Metalwork

Our hammered-top serving carts have become one of our signature residential pieces. The hammered surface creates a rich, hand-crafted texture that catches light differently at every angle. We produce these carts in brass, bronze, and nickel finishes, sized to any dimension. They work equally well as bar carts in a living room, serving pieces in a dining room, or accent tables in a study. We also fabricate custom furniture legs — turned, tapered, or squared — in any metal and finish.

Leaded Glass Window Frames & Architectural Details

Leaded glass window frames, decorative grilles, handrail components, console tables, and sofa legs — these are the custom architectural details that distinguish a carefully curated home from one assembled from catalog items. We work closely with architects and interior designers to produce the metal elements that complete their vision, delivering pieces that carry the weight and finish quality of museum-quality objects.
