Cambridge's Iron & Metalwork Fabricators — Where Historic Detail Meets Modern Precision

Cambridge is a city where a Georgian row house sits beside a modernist research facility — and AP Iron Design has spent over 40 years crafting metalwork that serves both worlds with equal skill. Every project for Cambridge clients is fabricated entirely in-house at our 40 Crescent Street workshop in Everett, with master craftsmen handling every cut, weld, and finish without subcontracting. We work with Cambridge homeowners restoring original period ironwork, multi-family landlords needing code-compliant fire escapes, universities requiring large-scale railing systems, and commercial operators who need durable, design-forward metalwork for high-traffic environments. Our knowledge of Cambridge’s permitting processes and historical design standards ensures every installation is smooth, compliant, and exactly right for your property.
