Metal Man Restoration is a single shop for metal restoration across Brooklyn. We restore chandeliers and architectural lighting, bronze and iron architectural metal, plating, hardware, steel casement windows, cast iron radiators, and stone, and we keep all of it maintained afterward. Every job starts with an inspection, so the quote reflects what the metal actually needs.

Brooklyn’s Building Stock
Brownstones and row houses in Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, and Bedford-Stuyvesant. Victorian houses in Ditmas Park and Flatbush. Loft and former industrial buildings in DUMBO and Williamsburg, and prewar apartment buildings across the borough.
Older buildings tend to show the same problems: ironwork and radiators buried under paint, worn plating on original hardware, steel windows that no longer close, and lobby metal and stone that has gone dull.
Our Work in Brooklyn and Across the Region
In October 2026 we polished a copper kitchen sink onsite in a Park Slope home. The copper had oxidized to a dark, blotchy finish, and our team brought the basin back to bright copper without removing it.
The same shop restored the 900-pound rotunda chandelier at the Beacon Theatre in 2009, the exterior bronze gates at the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House in 2009, and the bronze sanctuary doors at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola in 2014.
Landmark and Preservation Work
Large parts of brownstone Brooklyn sit inside historic districts designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. Work affecting a landmark exterior or a designated interior can require a permit before it begins. We help owners and architects confirm a building’s status and align the restoration with the applicable standards.
One Shop for the Whole Building
A prewar Brooklyn building rarely needs one thing. The stoop railings, the entrance hardware, the lobby marble, the radiators, and the steel windows all age at once.
Keeping it with one shop means one assessment, one schedule, and finishes that match across the building rather than four vendors each solving their own piece.
Common Questions About Metal Restoration in Brooklyn
These are the questions Brooklyn owners, boards, and architects ask before a project begins.
Do you handle every kind of metal restoration?
Yes. Architectural metal, lighting, plating, hardware, steel casement windows, cast iron radiators, and stone are all done by the same shop, along with ongoing maintenance afterward.
Have you worked in Brooklyn?
Yes. In October 2026 we polished a copper kitchen sink onsite in a Park Slope home. Our larger landmark projects, including the Beacon Theatre chandelier and the Custom House bronze gates, were elsewhere in New York City.
Which Brooklyn neighborhoods do you serve?
All of them, including Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Ditmas Park, Flatbush, DUMBO, and Williamsburg.
Can you restore several elements in one project?
Yes, and it is usually the better way to do it. One assessment covers the building, the schedule is coordinated, and the finishes match across the entrance, the lobby, and the apartments.
Do you work on-site or in your shop?
Both. Facades, railings, stone floors, and fixed metal are done on-site. Hardware, radiators, lighting, and anything needing plating come to our Mount Vernon shop.
For the same range of work in other boroughs, see metal restoration in Manhattan and metal restoration in the Bronx.
