What AR Iron does
AR Iron LLC is a family-owned custom ornamental ironwork fabricator headquartered in Henderson, Nevada. Founded in 1989 by Fred Sclafani (with his wife), the company is now led by his son Tony Sclafani as Vice President and General Manager. AR Iron designs, fabricates, finishes, and installs custom iron products for residential and commercial customers in the Las Vegas, Henderson, and broader Clark County, Nevada market, including entryway and driveway gates, iron fencing, security screen doors, pool fencing, guard and interior railings, spiral staircases, window guards, and trellises. All products are built to customer specifications using a combination of traditional hand forging and modern manufacturing techniques.
The company operates from a 20,000 square foot production facility that integrates in-house forging, precision waterjet cutting (with tolerance of +/- 0.005 inches and the ability to cut materials up to 5 inches thick), media blasting (abrasive, glass bead, and garnet), and what AR Iron describes as Southern Nevada's largest certified powder coating facility. The powder coating line includes an automated Parker ionic conveyor system (8 automated + 2 manual spray guns, 4-stage pre-treatment) and a batch system with an 18-hopper color-change spray booth and 450-degree curing oven, supporting over 6,500 colors including HOA color matching. AR Iron is also the exclusive certified installer for Roll Guard's patented Coyote Rollers in the Las Vegas market.
AR Iron's business model is project-based custom work sold primarily through a sales-led motion. Customers request free on-site estimates via the company website or by phone, receive a custom quote based on design complexity, materials, finishes, and labor, and then receive professionally installed product. Revenue streams include custom iron fabrication and installation, external powder coating services (through the AR Powder Coating division), media blasting, precision waterjet cutting, and Coyote Roller product installation. Pricing is entirely quote-based with no standardized tiers, and the company employs approximately 20 people spanning production, installation, estimation, customer service, and administration.

AR Iron competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Wagner Companies: Manufacturer and distributor of architectural metal products including ornamental railings, balusters, and components for commercial buildings. Comparable to AR Iron in custom architectural metal fabrication, though Wagner focuses on commercial architectural applications versus AR Iron's residential/security orientation.
Broad incumbents
- Master Halco: North America's largest wholesale distributor of fencing products, including ornamental iron, chain link, and access control. Comparable to AR Iron as a key supply chain node for ornamental iron fencing, but operates at distribution scale rather than custom fabrication.
- Ameristar Fence Products: National manufacturer of ornamental steel and aluminum fence products, now part of ASSA ABLOY. Comparable to AR Iron because both produce ornamental metal fencing and gates for residential and commercial applications, though Ameristar focuses on mass-produced systems rather than custom fabrication.
- Fortress Building Products: Manufacturer of Fortress Iron ornamental fencing, railing, and steel deck framing systems. Comparable to AR Iron because it sells ornamental iron fencing and railing products to residential and commercial customers, but as standardized manufactured systems rather than custom-fabricated and installed pieces.
Others
- Axalta Coating Systems: Global coatings supplier with a strong industrial powder coatings franchise and direct relationships with applicator shops. Comparable to AR Iron as an upstream supplier of powder coating materials and as a competitor for commercial powder coating contract work.
- PPG Industries: Global coatings manufacturer with a substantial industrial powder coatings portfolio. Comparable to AR Iron because PPG supplies the powder coating materials AR Iron uses and competes indirectly through its own applicator network for commercial powder coating work.
- Sherwin-Williams: Major coatings manufacturer with an industrial powder coatings division. Comparable to AR Iron because AR Powder Coating purchases powder coating chemistries from manufacturers like Sherwin-Williams, and Sherwin-Williams' industrial finishing business overlaps with the broader commercial powder coating market AR Iron serves.
- Lowe's: Major U.S. home improvement retailer carrying mass-produced fencing, gates, and exterior products with installation services. Comparable to AR Iron as a substitute channel for residential ornamental iron work, particularly for DIY-minded homeowners and budget-driven projects.
- Hoover Fence Co: Online direct-to-consumer retailer of residential fencing products including ornamental iron, aluminum, and chain link. Comparable to AR Iron in serving residential ornamental iron demand but competes via standardized catalog products rather than custom fabrication and installation.
- The Home Depot: Largest U.S. home improvement retailer offering mass-produced fencing, gates, and exterior building products. Comparable to AR Iron as an alternative for price-sensitive residential customers who might otherwise hire a custom fabricator, particularly for entry-level ornamental iron and gate projects.
