Jeff and Walt Emmott 
Owners Jeff and Walt Emmott have been with the company since 1973 and 1975, respectively. With a combined 81 years of experience with Patina Metals, they have designed and crafted much of Houston’s exquisite custom ironwork. Jeff started his career in custom fabrication as an installer, and within a few years he and his brother Walt, an apprentice fabricator, purchased the company from the original owners. Jeff and Walt attribute Patina’s longevity to their passion for ironwork-
“It is only through a burning desire to design and handcraft the finest custom ironwork available that we have stood the test of time. Our customers recognize excellence in craftsmanship and know that our master craftsmen can deliver the quality and elegance in ironwork that can truly transform their dream homes.”
Blake Emmott
Field Installation Superintendent, Blake Emmott, has been around custom iron fabrication his entire life. After several summer internships with Patina Metals while attending college, he is excited to continue the proud tradition established by his father and uncle, Walt Sr. and Jeff Emmott.
“I have learned the meaning of excellence and going above and beyond for the client at Patina, something that my dad and uncle have always instilled in me for as long as I can remember.”
Telesforo Sanchez
Telesforo, installation supervisor, began his career as a part time helper while attending high school in 1995. He started full time at Patina Metals in 1997 after graduating from high school, and now, in the role of Field Installation Supervisor, he takes great pride in installing interior hand rails.
“I love what I do! I love when people see my finished work and they are happy with it. I live out in Brenham, so I drive a long way to work and back every day, so you know I love what I do!”
April Beasley
April joined Patina Metals in June of 2017 and has quickly become a great asset to the team and one of our first female shop forewoman. Currently she is our accountant and purchasing agent and office manager.
