Stop Settling for One-Size-Fits-All Metalwork

- Generic stair kits that don’t fit the space correctly
- Finishes that fail in Michigan weather
- Contractors who lack communication throughout the project

Every project starts with a consultation and detailed planning process so your finished metalwork complements your home, functions properly, and lasts for years.
Our team works directly with homeowners, residential builders, and designers to create custom solutions tailored to each property. From initial measurements to installation, we focus on craftsmanship, communication, and precision.

I am so thrilled about this railing. The city mayor complimented saying it looks sharp! So much gratitude goes to you and your team. Thank you so much!
-Zena E.
I had a great experience working with Great Lakes Metal Fabrication! We got a small railing created and installed on our second floor. It’s SO BEAUTIFUL! The process was super speedy (under 4 weeks). Everyone was responsive to my questions, and very friendly. We’re planning on using them for future projects!
-Devann M.
Great Lakes did an excellent job on our stainless steel railing on any upper porch. They helped with the design, were very professional in all phases of the project. We are very pleased with the railing and would use them again.
