The railings at this local church were not very appealing, and had become a serious safety issue due to the posts rotting off (improper installation). I designed new railings that better match the architecture of the building, and went to a side mount to maximize the space and give the entry a much more inviting feel. Everything was finished in dark bronze to complement the existing building accent colors.

If your railings are in need of some attention, you would like to update your space, or just explore the possibilities, I would be happy to make suggestions based on my 30 plus years of fabrication experience and provide you with a free estimate.

Just finished a nice custom spiral with matching deck rails...very transparent. This is a great option If you have large picture windows in your walkout basement and don't want to block your view with a traditional bulky wooden staircase. Fantastic powdercoating job by Luke, who also helped with the install (thanks again!). The custom fit and finish on this project was superb!
