Fitzgeralds

I initially met Mr. Fitzpatrick in Warrenton at the antique show. My family and I stumbled up he and his wife's store, where I found a gorgeous silver buffet with a black top (I believe it is pictured on Houzz under his photos). He ever so graciously took the buffet back to Houston, because we had no more room to take it home, so I could come pick it up later. We kept in touch about picking up the buffet with the idea in mind that I was possibly interested in a custom top zinc table. I never had any luck finding a dining room table I just fell in love with and loved the idea of a zinc top table and having something different that we could design ourselves. BEST. DECISION. EVER! The day we went to pick up the buffet, he walked us through the whole process of how he makes the custom zinc tops (construction, cut, wash, etc..) talked with us about price, showed us all of his work and so on. One table in particular stuck out with large black antique legs. We left and I bet not even 5 minutes later Dewey had already messaged me a pair of antique table legs he had found on Craigslist for us to use for the table we were only thinking about at that point, but the legs did it for us, and we decided to go ahead. He kept in touch via text, e-mail, phone calls, and even Facebook through the whole process. He even drew out our new dining room with all of the measurements and recommendations, posted photos and descriptions every single week on Facebook. We are thrilled about our new dining room table for our first home together! He couldn't have done a better job on the table itself, his wife white washed the legs perfectly to match our dining room chairs, and the zinc top is more than perfect and BEAUTIFUL! We're so ready to get it and the beautiful buffet into the house and show them off to everyone. I highly recommend The Fitzgerald family to any and everyone looking for excellent quality work, craftsmanship, and the best customer service you will find out there(he is seriously one of the kindest men you will meet) Thank you again for all of your hard work, it is so appreciated!

I met Mr. Fitzgerald in Warrenton @ the spring antiques show. He was extremely helpful and friendly there. I was searching for a table for my formal dining room. After coming home, I remeasured my room and contacted him about building me a table. He delivered my one of a kind table last week. It's even more beautiful than I'd imagined. Every persone who has been in the house has raved about it. I couldn't be more pleased. I have not purchased chairs yet- I almost don't want to cover it up! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this company.

The custom table that I ordered is perfect. I would recommend Fitzgeralds to anyone looking for a custom zinc piece.

I highly recommend Fitzgerald Metalworks. Mr. Fitzgerald is an artisan and a perfectionist and my zinc countertop for my island is beautiful. Communication was great and once commissioned, I had the piece in a week. I wish all craftsmen were this timely and prideful of their work.

I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon Fitzgerald's when I was looking for a unique one-of-a-kind bistro table for my kitchen. After designing a simple table base and having it made locally (Dallas area), I could not find anyone who was experienced with zinc fabrication, so I ventured outside the Dallas area for my search and stumbled on Fitzgerald's. I communicated several times with the owner, Dewey Fitzgerald, discussing my design details and gaining an understanding of how the zinc patina develops over time. Then he built and shipped the most beautiful zinc tabletop I have ever seen. It was exactly as I had envisioned and the craftsmanship is exceptional -- entirely hand made! I chose to leave the zinc in its natural state (no sealer) so it will age and darken over time, taking on the warmth and character of an old French bar top. Contracting with Fitzgerald's for my zinc tabletop was one of the smartest design decisions I have ever made. My husband and I will enjoy our table for years. Thanks Dewey!
