### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Robert Harrison, March 2022**

> Bob customized the single letter "H" and then installed it onto our house.
> The letter was completed in a reasonable time frame and very professional installed.
> I have used Iron Art for custom designed railings both inside and outside our house.
> I strongly recommend this business.

**★★★★★ — Sarah, Jan. 2022**

> We received a gift certificate for your iron work for our anniversary present. We made some suggestions and shared our ideas and you transformed it into our beautiful wood holder.
>
>  Thank you for our beautiful firewood holder. It is stunning!

**★★★★★ — Lisa Grimard, Aug. 2021**

> If you are looking for something original and different to make your home stand out from the rest.
>
> Look no further, Iron Art is it!!!!
>
> I had a vision, actually a very particular vision. Robert was very kind, patient and understanding of my vision.
>
> The professionalism and his many decades as an artist gave him the ability to come up with a design for my outdoor railing and garden fence that I instantly fell in love with.
>
> The drawings were one thing, but the talent and the exquisite craftsmanship, well I can't say enough about it. Absolutely stunning.
>
> Robert and Lisa of Iron Art it was a true pleasure dealing with you both on my custom projects. I will definitely recommend you and we'll keep in touch for future endeavours.

**Comment from Iron Art:**

> The pleasure was ours, Robert & Lisa!
> Thanks for supporting the Arts in Canada.

**★★★★★ — HU-37794690, June 2021**

> We were interested in having a custom iron coffee table made with the porcelain tile that we had chosen ourselves.  We had an amazing experience dealing with Iron Art (Robert Aucoin, artist and Lisa Aucoin). Our initial email inquiries were promptly answered and we were given a ballpark estimate for our project. Having seen Robert’s work on the website and in person, we sought and used his experience and artistic input in the design of our coffee table to add to the look we were thinking of. We are very pleased with our custom coffee table made by a local artisan.

**★★★★★ — Moe Johnson, March 2021**

> Lisa and Robert were both receptive and helpful at the outset through to completion of our commission.  For such a relatively small project, but one that was important to my wife and me, Robert took great care and time in outlining our options and in seeing the project through to finish.
>
> We required an unobtrusive frame needed to suspend a ca. 1900 folk-art carved image of a policeman, measuring 2 feet high.  He ensured that the base was heavy enough to support the piece but not overly large in surface area.  Robert spot-welded the supporting rods at the underside of the base in order to maintain a clean look to the surface. The hook that holds the policeman at the top of his helmet is barely noticeable.  Robert made sure that the height of the stand was positioned just so that the policeman's feet rest flat on the base, which is clear-coated to avoid oxidation.
>
> An excellent job, and one to which Robert gave special attention.  His talents as a portrait artist clearly contribute to his ability to conceptualize and execute on a wide range of artistic projects involving iron. I would highly recommend him.

**★★★★★ — Paula Beaven, March 2021**

> I sent Robert a picture of a very small Christmas decoration that I had seen to hold a few Christmas baubles. I had this idea that if it could be made larger and heavier a fruit vault would be born. A creation to keep three crafty, problematic cats from stealing fruit and making it possible to have a fruit bowl again. Oh boy, did Robert ever run so professionally with it. I never had the opportunity to meet him however he sketched, we collaborated through many, many emails. I can't even begin to tell you what a wonderful gift he made me for the most difficult man to buy for. Robert is professional and communicative when getting down to business, however nothing can touch is creative and magical artwork, that now takes pride of place on the dinning room table. When this awful pandemic is over, I'm looking forward to driving to Kingston and shaking his very gifted hands.

**★★★★★ — HU-467323414, Feb. 2021**

> Have numerous items from Iron Art,  wonderful to see such good workmanship and artistry.
> Great prices for one off quality.

**★★★★★ — Peter Lawton, Dec. 2020**

> Robert did an excellent job on my railings. He drew up a very professional diagram of the design and explained it to me. We agreed on the project and the price and he quietly went ahead. Very professional work done and good clean up. Very pleased with the result.

**★★★★★ — Robert Harrison, Feb. 2018**

> Mr. Aucoin is a very honest person and his work and work ethics are excellent.
> I have hired him for more than one project and am always amazed at his talents and ability to produce great artist results.

**★★★★★ — Alastair McLean, Aug. 2017**

> Over the last 15 years, Robert has made for me: table legs, curtain rails, bannister rails, candle stick holders and belts. He has worked collaboratively with me, interpreting my sketches and often suggesting improvements and modifications. He is an artist who is has a deep knowledge of metal and welding. The pieces I have received have always been flawless and functioned perfectly.

**★★★★★ — Sheila Petrie, July 2017**

> Robert is a very professional and creative artist.  He customized a railing system for an interior stairwell for us.  It is a showpiece in our home.  He listened to what we had asked for and brought mad skills to a complicated project.  He is resourceful and reasonable.  We recommend him, highly.

**★★★★★ — Tall Pines Interiors Inc, June 2017**

> We have used Robert and Iron Art for several projects and have always been pleased by the professional, creative and innovative  service we receive.  Things are completed on time and within quotation.
