Railings and Structural Steel

Handrails that homes are proud of and steel that inspectors sign without squinting - fabricated to code, installed plumb, built to be leaned on.

Railing and structural work

  • Interior stair railings - modern horizontal, classic picket or custom design
  • Exterior handrails and porch rails - code heights, graspable and grounded solid
  • Commercial guardrail and ADA-compliant rail systems
  • Structural posts, beams and headers for wall-removal projects
  • Reinforcement of sagging beams and questionable welds
  • Balcony and mezzanine rail systems

Code is the floor, not the ceiling

Railing codes - heights, infill spacing, load ratings, grasp profiles - exist because falls are unforgiving. We fabricate to them as the minimum and build past them where real life suggests: anchors sized generously into structure that can hold them, welds through and dressed, finishes that survive weather and hands. An inspection is a formality when the work was built for the leaning, not the paperwork.

Structural work runs to your engineer's specs with documentation kept - beams, posts and connections that carry what the stamp says they carry.

Common questions

Do railings need permits?

New structural rails often do, and code applies regardless - we build compliant either way and coordinate with inspectors when permits are in play.

What finishes last outside?

Galvanizing then powder or paint is the endurance king; direct powder coat and quality paint systems follow. We'll match finish to exposure and budget honestly.

Can you match my home's style?

That's the fun part - modern, traditional or matching what the house already speaks. Photos of your space start the design conversation.

Steel you can lean on, literally.
