This 1990's Louisville home is being prepped for sale. The original railing was broken at the gooseneck at the top of the stairs so we were called in to quickly replace the entire railing. The home has 4 guardrails, 1 stair railing (pictured) and 2 handrails. We designed, fabricated, installed and finished the railing before professional pictures were scheduled. Whew!

Exterior porch guardrail with horizontal balustrades

This 1960's ranch needed a new guardrail and handrail, and the design needed to complement the vertical wood paneling as well as the lines of the flooring. The patina softened the metal tone to accentuate other metallic features of the owner's possessions.

Custom posts, topcap and balustrades

This newer construction home in Erie has a north-facing porch that gets icy in winter. We designed and fabricated a guardrail system to complement the vertical elements of the house and created two drop-in sections for the 3' openings behind the front pillars.

This buildout needed a guardrail plus handrail system to go from the main floor to the mezzanine. Notice all the funky angles against the wall for the handrail; had fun figuring the math to make this all work!

Goosenecks, compound angles and more, oh my! Handrails and guardrails complete this gorgeous staircase.

We couldn't terminate into the wall because the roof juts out over the balcony so created a compound angle. The client LOVES it!

On the upper balcony, the roofline juts out over the decking, making it impossible to terminate the railing directly into the siding. No worries, that's what compound angles are for!

On the second floor of the commercial property there's a pretty great mezzanine, and this guardrail needed to maximize stair tread space. Thus, we created footers for each post and lagged them into the floor.

Looking down from the second floor of the commercial space. With a guardrail on the mezzanine and a handrail on both sides of the stair treads, you're sure to be safe here!
