Most custom metal work is priced from three things: a setup or design minimum, the material and size of the piece, and the finish. Larger pieces cost more because they use more material and cutting time; stainless and specialty finishes like powder coat add to the base cost. Shops also commonly discount larger quantities.
This calculator uses typical national-average rates to give you a starting range. Your local shop's real quote will depend on design complexity, hardware, mounting, and current material prices.
