Metal Man Restoration is a single shop for metal restoration across Manhattan. 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. From landmark lobbies and Broadway theaters to prewar co-ops and historic hotels, we bring Manhattan’s metalwork back to life and keep it that way.

The Manhattan Buildings We Work On
Manhattan holds more historic metal per block than anywhere in the country, and it lives in a specific set of buildings. We work on landmark lobbies and prewar co-ops, Broadway and historic theaters, houses of worship, historic hotels and private clubs, museums and civic interiors, and the townhouses and apartment houses that fill the borough. In each, metal is part of the architecture, not an afterthought.
Our Manhattan Portfolio
Our reputation in Manhattan is built on buildings that could not be replaced. We restored the roughly 900-pound chandelier at the Beacon Theatre on the Upper West Side, refinished the bronze at the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House in Lower Manhattan, restored the bronze doors at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola on the Upper East Side, and rebuilt the entranceway metalwork at 251 West 89th Street.
Landmark and Preservation Work
Manhattan has more designated landmarks than any borough, and work affecting a landmark exterior or a designated interior can require a permit from the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. We are used to working within those requirements and help owners and architects confirm a building’s status and align the work with the applicable preservation standards.
One Shop for the Whole Building
A Manhattan lobby restoration might touch bronze doors, a chandelier, hardware, and a marble floor all at once. Because we handle each of those in-house, you deal with one shop and one standard instead of coordinating several trades. That keeps the finish consistent and the project on track.
Common Questions About Metal Restoration in Manhattan
These are the questions Manhattan owners, boards, and architects ask us most.
Do you handle every kind of metal restoration?
Yes. Lighting and chandeliers, architectural bronze and iron, plating, hardware, steel windows, cast iron radiators, and stone are all handled in our shop, so a whole building can be restored by one team.
Do you work on designated landmark buildings?
Yes. Much of our Manhattan work is on designated landmarks, and we align each project with the applicable preservation standards and permit requirements.
Which Manhattan neighborhoods do you serve?
All of them, from the Financial District and Lower Manhattan through Midtown to the Upper East and Upper West Sides. We restore metal in landmark, prewar, and civic buildings across the borough.
Can you restore several elements in one project?
Yes. Because we handle lighting, metal, hardware, and stone in-house, a lobby or entrance project that involves all of them can be managed together under one shop.
Do you work on-site or in your shop?
Both. Fixed elements like facades, railings, and stone floors are restored on-site, while fixtures, hardware, and removable pieces come to our shop and return for reinstallation.
