Our Metal Railing System Services
We fabricate and install metal railings that deliver exceptional durability and sophisticated design for various applications. Our comprehensive approach ensures every system meets structural requirements while enhancing your property's architectural appeal.
Custom Stainless Steel Installations
We create premium stainless steel railing systems that provide corrosion resistance and contemporary aesthetics for high-end residential and commercial applications. Our stainless steel installations use marine-grade materials and precision welding techniques that ensure long-term performance in coastal and urban environments.
Each system incorporates brushed or polished finishes that maintain their appearance with minimal maintenance while providing sophisticated visual appeal. We design stainless steel systems for interior staircases, exterior balconies, and commercial applications where durability and professional appearance are essential.
Aluminum Railing Systems and Kits
We install lightweight aluminum railings that offer excellent corrosion resistance and design flexibility for both interior and exterior applications. Our aluminum installations include powder-coated finishes available in numerous colors that provide long-term protection and aesthetic appeal.
Each aluminum system can incorporate decorative elements, glass panels, or cable infill to create unique design combinations. We work with both custom-fabricated systems and aluminum railing kits to provide cost-effective solutions that meet specific design and budget requirements.
Wrought Iron and Steel Fabrication
We craft traditional wrought iron railings that showcase classical design elements and artistic metalwork for timeless architectural appeal. Our wrought iron installations include hand-forged elements, decorative scrollwork, and custom patterns that reflect traditional craftsmanship and artistic vision.
Each steel system receives protective coatings and finishes designed to prevent corrosion while maintaining authentic appearance and character. We create both reproduction pieces for historic properties and contemporary interpretations that blend classical elements with modern design principles.
Cable and Wire Railing Systems
We install modern cable railing systems that provide unobstructed views while meeting safety requirements through innovative engineering and design. Our cable installations use high-strength stainless steel cables and precision tensioning hardware that maintains proper spacing and structural performance over time.
Each cable system emphasizes minimal visual impact while providing reliable fall protection and code compliance for deck and balcony applications. We coordinate cable systems with various post materials and finishes to create customized solutions that complement your architectural vision.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main differences between aluminum and stainless steel railing systems?
Aluminum offers lighter weight and lower cost with good corrosion resistance, while stainless steel provides superior strength and premium appearance with excellent corrosion resistance. We help you evaluate performance requirements, budget considerations, and aesthetic preferences to select the optimal metal for your specific application and environmental conditions.
How do cable railing systems compare to traditional balusters for safety and maintenance?
Cable systems provide equivalent safety when properly installed and tensioned, with lower maintenance requirements than painted balusters but requiring periodic cable tension adjustment. Our cable installations include detailed maintenance instructions and we offer service visits to ensure proper tension and performance over time.
Can metal railings be powder coated in custom colors to match my home's exterior?
Yes, we offer extensive powder coating color options including custom color matching to coordinate with your existing exterior finishes and architectural elements. Our custom color process includes sample preparation and approval to ensure perfect color coordination with your design vision and existing materials.
What maintenance is required for different types of metal railings?
Stainless steel requires only periodic cleaning, aluminum needs occasional washing and inspection, while wrought iron may need periodic paint touch-up and rust prevention. We provide specific maintenance schedules and procedures based on your metal type, finish, and environmental exposure conditions for optimal long-term performance.
How do you ensure proper structural attachment for heavy metal railing systems?
We use engineered anchoring systems, including through-bolts, chemical anchors, and reinforced connections, designed specifically for your structural conditions and load requirements. Our attachment methods are calculated and tested to ensure maximum safety and long-term performance under all expected loading conditions.
