We have lived in our home since 1994 and have never had a house number. Now I know why…we were waiting for perfection! I gave Labor Fruit Studio creative freedom and was blown away with his design. The attention to detail and quality is beyond measure. I highly recommend Labor Fruit Studio for any of your custom metal work. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

Thank you Labor Fruit Studio for your amazing work!! I LOVE my hand-crafted railings and house sign. I didn’t have any ideas in mind, except knowing that I wanted something “modern looking”. You ran with this project and I am 1,000% happy with how it all turned out! Will definitely be a repeat customer!

Labor Fruit Studio designed custom house numbers for us. I was incredibly impressed with the finished product. These are a few reasons why:
* the quality of the finish work
* custom fasteners
* the black powder coat really makes the house numbers stand out
* He took into account the house numbers would be mounted on shake shingles and designed the mounting to accommodate for that.
Labor Fruit Studio is my #1choice for custom metal work.

I have a very hard time choosing items for my home, as I am extremely particular and rarely does something fully satisfy or meet my expectations. I'm someone who wants it all: aesthetically, functionally, and high quality. I'm grateful to report, that due to Ryan at Labor Fruit Studio, I have a gorgeous piece of furniture that fully checks all those boxes. It is absolutely
one-of-a-kind, the style is both modern and timeless and the quality of the work cannot be overstated. Ryan pours over his work, attending to every single detail with a passion that is almost an obsession, because he is an artist. I didn't understand that when I decided to have a piece of custom furniture made for our home, that I would end up with a piece of art. It is so aesthetically pleasing and at the same time, brilliantly durable and functional.
In addition to his gift as a creative genius, an extremely skilled metal and wood worker, he also made the experience of working with him, an experience in and of itself. Instead of being put off by my excessive pickiness, he included me in the project and invited me to co-create with him. I think this is a testament to his ultimate goal and commitment to satisfy his clients. He enthusiastically allowed me to collaborate with him. It was a new and fun experience for me, as I am not an artist, but he allowed me the opportunity to imagine, play and have creative input. The result is that I feel more connected to the piece, because I played a role in its creation.
Choosing Ryan at Labor Fruit Studio is choosing the whole package and he over-delivered in every way.

Savor Ice Cream

Ryan at Labor Fruit Studio was a dream to work with in having a bar table custom made and installed for our ice cream shop here in Chico, CA. He was very communicative, easy to work with, and made the whole process very seamless from start to finish. The quality of work was top-notch and really matches the feel we were hoping for. To top it off, Ryan delivered it, installed it onto our concrete flooring, and put all the finishing touches on it to make sure it was secure as well as aesthetically dialed in.

His attention to detail, quality of work, and overall great human-ness make him a surefire recommendation for any custom wood/steel work needed. We will definitely go with Labor Fruit Studio again!
