Built for Those Who Notice the Details

Copper door

High end designers, clients, and contractors care about the details. The curve of a railing. The way light hits a brushed surface. The feel of a space when everything aligns. Your metalwork should match that level of intent.

At Copperado, we know every piece should be as intentional and personal as the design it completes. That’s why we don’t offer stock solutions. We listen, sketch, refine, and build alongside you.

Whether you’re creating a one-of-a-kind residence or a landmark commercial space, the process stays clear and collaborative. We build to order in copper, brass, bronze, and steel, railings, hoods, fixtures, and art, each one crafted to elevate its surroundings. From first sketch to final polish, you’ll feel the difference in experience and quality.

Built to Be Seen

Every detail is made to be noticed. We design with proportion, finish, and light in mind so each piece feels intentional in its space. Whether it’s a railing, hood, or sculptural accent, our work complements architecture and elevates design, built as much for the eye as for the structure.

Horizontal Railing

Crafted to Last

Each piece is engineered for strength, simplicity, and longevity. Clean welds, thoughtful design, and durable finishes make installation smooth and upkeep minimal. The result is metalwork that looks exceptional from day one and endures beautifully for decades.

From First Call to Install

At Copperado, you work directly with the craftsman, no layers, no hand-offs. Every project begins with a conversation and ends with a seamless installation. You’ll have one point of contact from first sketch to final polish, ensuring clear communication and complete confidence along the way.

What Makes a Copperado

Metal with Presence

Our metalwork is more than structure, it’s statements. Every curve, weld, and finish is designed to stand out in the spaces where presentation matters most. We use quality metals, artisan techniques, and tailored finishes that age gracefully and command attention for decades.

Made to Fit Your Vision

We understand what it takes to make your project unforgettable. Each piece is built to enhance your vision, fit your space, and impress your clients or friends and family. We study proportion, light, surroundings, and material contrast to ensure your design intention carries through from sketch to installation and creates a lasting impression.

The Craft Behind Your Signature

We don’t just build what’s asked. We anticipate, refine, and deliver details that make your work shine. Our role is to make you look exceptional in front of your clients or friends and family, through reliability, artistry, and a finished piece that feels one step beyond expectation.

  • "Great to work with."

    “We had Zachariah design a railing for our stairway after we replaced the flooring in our home. He and Brianna were great to work with! We sent them our ideas for the design and he incorporated them into the final design. Zachariah was very thorough--he spent a couple of hours taking measurements, making the actual installation very easy. We get so many compliments on our new railing! Zachariah has posted pictures”
