GERARDI DESIGN - CUSTOM METAL FABRICATION

Mark was GREAT to work with. I had a unique project. I needed to maximize space for a bed in a smaller bedroom. Everything pre-made for a loft bed was either too big or too tall and did not fit the overall room from a design perspective. I thought of building it myself and did some initial designs but realized I did not have the time or the workshop to make it happen. I found Mark on Houzz and left a message. He called back in a timely manner and worked with me to brainstorm ideas. We discussed my initial designs, went over my goals and needs and he suggested using metal. When I went to his workshop, he showed me his design on paper and some different ways metal coatings can make a piece look fantastic. He listened to my concerns regarding making the bedframe very sturdy, yet look good. After deciding on design, we discussed delivery. Mark made the final product in three pieces, so it could be taken to the second floor up one level of stairs with a couple of turns. Just a note, Mark is a perfectionist, so if anything isn't the way we planned, he made it so! I wanted a step or ladder to get into the bed and he showed me a design he had already made. It was perfect. Added some great teak wood to it and I am very pleased. The steps can be retracted so during the day, the steps can be a sitting stool. Very cool. I ended up with a very sturdy loft bed at the right height for my needs that looks great and fits the decor of the bedroom. Thanks Mark!

Mark Gerardi is a metal genius. He helped my company fabricate a complicated and totally unique steel sculpture and play structure that ended up being an absolute marvel to look at. He was helpful through every step of the process, from concept design to materials to finish and installation. I HIGHLY recommend that you work with Mark, you will not be disappointed.

I shared with Mark my idea for a one of a kind piece of art. He hint the mark 100%. I love my koi and lotus blossom design. Thank you so much for working with me. You did a fabulous job!

13 Years ago I hire Gerardi Design to do custom wood and metal work for the original location of my restaurant. Over the rears, Mark Gerardi has been my go-to for all creative wood and metal work. My business recently moved to a larger location, and mark was the first person I called to create a large metal art installment. His work is creative and beyond perfection every time. I trust him to take an idea, and run with it, and he always delivers.

Mark Gerardi is an amazingly talented designer. His out of the box thinking is refreshing. His ability to take the bones of an idea and make it a reality is awesome. He's easy to work with, honest and professional. I highly recommend Mark Gerardi.

Mark totally exceeded my expectations on this project. I had a custom wall unit built for a formal dining room and a mirror artwork for the entryway. Mark fleshed out my very basic concept with his innovative design style while being very mindful of my own personal style. The final product was just beautiful and amazing. The detail and care put into the pieces really show. I highly recommend working with Mark if you are interested in unique custom pieces. Please contact Mark regarding materials used and techniques used on finishes. The pictures don't really do the pieces justice as texture and sheen don't photograph well.

Mark was great to work with. Very creative and thinks on his feet. would recommend without hesitation. His pricing was reasonable and worth every dollar spent

I am a designer and general contractor and designed a restaurant in San Diego. We worked with Mark Gerardi for metal work throughout the restaurant. He was great! Creative people often conflict and rarely work well with others...Mark is the exception to this rule. He is happy to work with you to merge his creative style with yours and listen to your ideas about the execution. I look forward to working with him again on many projects.

THE BOMB, the best guy to work with. Mark is energetic and fun to work with. I just wish he could charge more for what he does. The guy is a professional, he is always on time and he always does what he says he is going to do.

Mark is a wonderful and creative artist that will help you to achieve your vision. He is willing to listen to what you want and offer encouragement and additional ideas, but never tries to push his ideas on to you. For this I was very appreciative. Hard working and easy to work with. Mark created several of the defining and signature installations at our restaurant, truly helping to define the unique and interesting look we were hoping to achieve. I would work again with Mark without a moments hesitation.

Mark Gerardi is a true artist, and craftsman, who has designed and executed many artistic elements of my restaurant, Old Vine Cafe. He has custom created my dining tables, my storefront, my patio enclosure, signage, light fixtures, and more! I highly recommend Mark Gerardi for your custom project!
