"He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works
with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist."
- St Francis of Assisi
Eric and Debra Montgomery are an extremely creative and talented husband and wife team and are the primary hands-on designers
and fabricators. They came together personally and professionally to open The Metal Shoppe with the idea
that practicality and artistry are not mutually exclusive. With over 20 years of combined experience, together their goal
is to have a shop that represents a diversity that puts them in a category separate and apart from other larger or more production-minded
metal/ornamental iron shops.
The shop specializes in custom copper range hoods / custom copper
kitchen hoods and custom copper countertops. However, over time, they have proven themselves to be a very
diverse shop, also offering custom iron railings, iron gates, metal art and they are expert coppersmiths among other things!
They can design and create one-of-a-kind pieces for your home or place of business - using old school craftsmanship with their
own creative flair. Please
take your time and enjoy browsing through their impressive portfolio. They hope you'll find the information you need about their
company and the products and services they provide. If you have further questions or would like a quote, please feel
free to contact The Metal Shoppe at the numbers provided or use the contact form to send an email. Look
forward to hearing from you!
