01 / Our story

Three generations at the same bench.

Harry Mitchell founded the Iron Works in 1951 on integrity, dependability and a simple idea about service: repairing a bicycle pedal is as important as installing the railings on your new home.

The second generation learned those values while learning the craft from their father. Today the third generation runs the shop, adding new technology and techniques, and the company has earned a reputation as one of the most respected in the industry.

We specialize in structural steel framing for residential buildings, galvanized and aluminum custom railing, and custom and spiral staircases. Since Hurricane Sandy, stricter building codes have led architects and engineers to choose steel framing for its load and wind ratings, and we fabricate and erect it up and down the shore.

1951Harry Mitchell opens the shopHarry starts a welding and ironwork business in Cape May County, built on doing the job right and standing behind it.
2nd generationLearned at the benchHis children learn the trade from their father and grow the shop into structural steel, stairs and custom railings.
TodayThird generation, new toolsThe third generation runs the business and brings new technology and techniques to the shop, so Mitchell Iron Works carries on for generations to come.
02 / New technology

Old-school craft, new-school tools.

The third generation has brought the shop into the digital age. Parts are cut by machine from the same files our drafters draw, so what you approve on screen is what gets built and installed.

01CNC plasma tablesPlates, brackets, base plates and decorative panels are cut by machine straight from the drawing, so every part matches and repeats exactly.
02Custom tube laser fabricationOur Bodor tube laser cuts, notches and drills square tube, round pipe and structural shapes in one pass. Posts come off the machine ready to weld, with holes already in place.
033D shop drawingsEvery job gets a 3D rendering with its shop drawings, from structural steel to stairs and railings. You see exactly what we'll build, and sign off, before any steel is cut.
