Custom Steel Railing

This was a front entry railing job for a homeowner in New Jersey. The house had a classic look to it—white brick, black shutters, an arched front door—and they wanted the railing to feel like it belonged there rather than standing out for the wrong reasons. We went with a steel vertical bar design with a dark finish that matched the shutters and door hardware already on the house. Simple, clean, and appropriate for the style of the home.

The scope included the stair railings on both sides and a panel section across the top of the landing in front of the door. Getting everything to run consistently at the correct pitch and height when you're anchoring into existing concrete requires the layout to be done right from the start. The posts have to be set properly so that nothing shifts over time, especially on a front entry where the railing gets used every single day.

The homeowner wanted something that added to the curb appeal without overcomplicating the look of the house and this hit that mark. It fits the architecture, it's built solid, and those tend to be the jobs homeowners are happiest with years down the road.
