Metal railings and handrails

Front steps, decks, porches, and interior stairs.

A handrail for a few front steps, railings around a deck, or a damaged section that needs replacing: we handle all three. Richard will look at the space or existing railing, take measurements and discuss the style with you.

Custom handrails for front steps and porches

You don't need a large project to call us. We make handrails for just a few steps as well as railings around a whole porch.

Wrought iron railing repairs

If you already have a wrought iron railing, show us the loose post, broken weld, or damaged section. We'll check whether the existing metal can be repaired or a replacement section is needed.

Start with a photo of the whole set of steps and a close-up of any damage. Include your city when you request a free estimate.

Common questions

Can you repair wrought iron railings instead of replacing them?
Often, yes. Richard checks the condition of the metal first. A broken weld or loose post may be repairable; a badly rusted section may need replacing.
What if my railing needs a permit or inspection?
Tell Richard about any permit, inspection or building-plan requirements before the work is agreed. Send any drawings or written requirements you already have so they can be discussed with the job.
Can you fit a railing to my existing steps?
Yes. We measure your steps and make the railing sections to fit. A photo of the full staircase helps Richard understand the layout before a visit.
