Anthony M. Guglielmo, the President of Metal Man Restoration, has been in the metal finishing industry since childhood. Today, Metal Man Restoration provides an array of residential and commercial metal finishing services, including cast iron radiator restoration, metal polishing, and stone restoration. In this interview, we’ll explore the benefits of cast iron radiator restoration and how it can save homeowners money and preserve the historical value of their homes.
Anthony’s Early Experience in the Metal Finishing Industry
Anthony’s interest in the metal finishing industry began in his childhood, when he had his own workshop in his garage, experimenting with welding, casting, and polishing small items. As he grew older, he created his own electroplating tanks in the garage and offered these services to friends in the local area. His hobby eventually turned into the business he loves today.
The Founding of Metal Man Restoration
In 2002, Anthony founded Metal Man Restoration with aspirations of developing a diversified metal finishing company providing residential and commercial services all under one roof. Initially, the business started as a local metal polishing shop serving residential clients in the Westchester, NY area. Within the first two years, the business grew into the Historical Metal Restoration, Lighting Restoration, and Metal Cleaning and Maintenance Fields.
The business started as a small 200-square-foot shop and grew to an 850-square-foot storefront in Pelham, NY. In 2005, the business moved again to its current and much larger facility in which it can offer more services such as electroplating and welding/casting. The current facility is 6,000 square feet and is located in Mount Vernon, NY.
Anthony’s Educational and Professional Background
Before starting Metal Man Restoration, Anthony was an IT Professional at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for six and a half years. He holds a dual Bachelor of Science degree in Finance and Computer Information Systems from Manhattan College and a Master of Science degree in Computer Science from Pace University. In his free time, Anthony is active in local car clubs with his 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, is a National Car Show Judge for the AACA, and enjoys biking, running, working out, and preventive medicine.
Benefits of Cast Iron Radiator Restoration
Cast iron radiators were a popular heating option in the early 1900s, and many older homes still have them installed. Over time, these radiators can become rusted and inefficient, resulting in wasted energy and increased utility bills. However, replacing these radiators can be costly and reduce the home’s historic value.
That’s where cast iron radiator restoration comes in. By restoring these radiators, homeowners can save money on their utility bills while preserving the historical value of their homes. “Cast iron radiators can be restored to look and perform like new,” says Anthony. “Restoring them can be a much more cost-effective solution than replacing them.”
How Metal Man Restoration Restores Cast Iron Radiators
Metal Man Restoration has been restoring cast iron radiators for many years, and the process involves several steps. “First, we strip the radiator of any paint or coating, revealing the bare metal,” says Anthony. “Next, we sandblast the radiator to remove any rust or debris. Then, we repair any cracks or leaks, and apply a coating of high-quality primer to protect the metal from further rusting.”
“After that, we apply a high-temperature paint in the desired finish, whether it be matte or gloss. We always use a high-quality paint that is specifically formulated for use on metal surfaces, ensuring a long-lasting finish,” he continues.
But the restoration process doesn’t stop there. “Once the radiator is fully painted, we perform a thorough inspection to ensure that it meets our high standards. We check for any imperfections or areas that may need additional attention,” Anthony explains.
“And finally, we carefully package the radiator and prepare it for shipping or delivery. We take great care to ensure that it is protected during transport, so that it arrives at its destination in the same condition it was in when it left our facility,” he concludes.
Metal Man Restoration’s cast iron radiator restoration service restores the radiator’s function and maintains the home’s historical value. The company’s dedication to quality and attention to detail ensures that the restored radiators are functional and beautiful.
