Forty years of iron, one family
Now in its second generation of family ownership, Kendi Iron Works has been a leader in custom-crafted ornamental and security ironwork since 1982. Our in-house designers and engineers direct skilled craftsmen working in steel, cast iron, aluminum, stainless steel and brass — and our work stands on streets and buildings across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island.
From a single window gate to full building packages for property managers, developers, schools and public agencies — designed, fabricated and installed by one shop.
