Mind’s Eye Metal Art has several people they rely on to provide assistance and support with every aspect of our work. These part time collaborators graciously lend their skills and knowledge to refine our work.
Our custom metal art provides a unique ambiance to your home that cannot be attained with other home enhancements. And, because each one of our pieces is custom made, our customers know that although one specific design maybe similar to another, their metal art is truly the only one of its kind.
Frequently, a curved set of steps or landscape cannot be readily fit with a product purchased at a large chain store. We are able to design a product that will be tailored to your specific home or landscape. Whether you come with an idea of a design, or allow us to create original and personalized pieces, be assured that from start to finish, we will create a product that will meet your needs.
The climate in our area possesses challenges to the aesthetic longevity of ornamental metal work. Oftentimes, great works of art can be seen rusting or corroding away in our area due to poor craftsmanship and improper preparation for the elements the piece will inevitably face. You can see magnificent pieces in the south and west, and in temperate climates all over the world. They are not often subject to the moisture that we see year-round. Our exterior projects are influenced by an approach that seeks to “set you up for success”. The pieces are designed to be as low maintenance as possible. We provide high quality craftsmanship in every project to give our customer’s product the best chance to have a long lasting design.
We partner with local businesses for materials and specialized subcontracting if necessary.
Mind’s Eye Metal Art is unique in that its entire foundation of operations is based around customer relationships and clear communication. When a customer comes to us with a need or idea, they can rest assured that we are dedicated to delivering complete satisfaction with every piece we produce.
Our customers have exclusive input into their designs and have the opportunity to have as much input and participation in the process as they wish. Through our established design process, we offer original hand drawn sketched designs, 3D renderings and AutoCAD blueprints, if desired.
Our professional staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and because each team member brings a unique set of skills and expertise to each project, our customers will have the confidence to trust that we will satisfy their needs, even when the particular project may have many initial unknown variables.
We are insured, but do not carry any professional licensing, as this helps keep costs down for customers. We work with structural engineering firms for design approval when the project specifications deem it necessary.
