Frequently Asked Questions
HOW DOES PRICING WORK?
At Kendi, pricing is tailored to the unique specifications of each project. Several factors influence the final cost, including:
• Design Complexity – Intricate patterns, scrollwork, finials, or custom details increase fabrication time.
• Material Selection – The type and thickness of metal used (e.g., wrought iron, stainless steel, aluminum) impact cost.
• Fabrication & Welding – The number of welds, precision cuts, and hand-forged elements contribute to labor time.
• Coatings & Finishes – Options like powder coating, galvanization, and custom paint finishes affect pricing.
• Structural Requirements – Reinforcements, bracing, and safety engineering may require additional materials.
• Installation Conditions – Site accessibility, anchoring needs, and local building codes influence labor costs.
• Additional Features – Elements such as motorized gates, integrated lighting, or mixed materials (wood, glass, stone) add complexity.
Every project is unique, and we take the time to carefully evaluate all aspects before providing a customized quote. For an accurate estimate, contact us with your specifications—our team is happy to assist you.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS FROM INQUIRY TO DESIGN, FABRICATION, AND INSTALLATION?
Our process begins by gathering key details, including:
• Job site address
• Site contact information
• A brief description of the project
• Approximate measurements
• Relevant photos
• Any important site conditions
In some cases, we can provide an estimate based on this information alone. However, a site visit is typically required before we issue a detailed proposal.
Once you decide to move forward, a 50% deposit is required to initiate the project. We then provide a clear timeline for fabrication and installation, ensuring your custom job is crafted with precision and care.

WHAT GEOGRAPHIC AREAS DO YOU SERVE?
The majority of our work is within the five boroughs of New York City. However, we also offer bolt-together or weldable prefabricated solutions for delivery across the United States.
CAN YOU REPLICATE A DESIGN OR CUSTOM PROJECT THAT INSPIRES ME?
Absolutely! Whether it’s a floor-to-ceiling lighting installation, historic restoration, or a fully custom steel project, we bring your vision to life. If it's made of steel, we can create it.
