Alger Customs is a family owned "high-end" steel and aluminum fabrication company. Our company started with a passion for creating unique and original pieces of functional architecture. The upscale homes built around the Iowa Great Lakes created a local market that would sustain a business that focused on just that. We have guys in their fifties and guys in their early twenties on our team. We have all the old school tricks and all the fresh ideas ready to deliver to our clients.

We at Alger Customs are committed to quality, innovative design and customer service. We like to learn about the needs and the design preferences of our clients, and then see the project through from concept to installation. Most of our customers become friends and we strive to deliver quality craftsmanship and hard work to each project.

 We offer a full line of steel, aluminum and stainless steel products for an array of applications. We also offer a complete line of hand railings and stair cases for commercial or industrial purposes. Being in the Okoboji area, we have our finger print on everything here locally. Yet we are just as happy to travel- we can set up work anywhere!

Each piece is original and created custom for the space. No project is too big or small. Let us help you take your project from imagination to reality.

  - Description: The Owner's came to us with a design idea for a home with a loft for them to enjoy their upcoming retirement years.
