Why does custom ornamental metalwork cost so much?
The single greatest cost of our goods sold is labor this is as true today as is was 100 years ago for our trade. Therefore, the more labor there is involved in the work, the more expensive the work will be. Additionally, we rarely enjoy the benefits of production processes because we are always making something new or different everyday. If General Motors or Ford had to make your car one at a time, to your specifications for size, design, color, metal, etc. you can be assured it would cost a lot more!
