Custom Railings

Durable wrought iron and steel railings for Michigan homes

From Indian Village historic districts to modern Troy subdivisions, we craft railings that survive pothole season. Our designs accommodate Detroit's extreme weather:

- 1/4" thick steel balusters resist impacts from snowblowers and ice chunks
- Hidden drainage channels prevent ice dam formation
- Powder-coated finishes rated for 15+ years of salt exposure

We specialize in complex installations like curved staircases in Royal Oak's tudor homes and cantilevered decks overlooking the Detroit River. Every railing passes our 250lb shear stress test - crucial when winter ice accumulates.

Recent projects include replicating 1930s Art Deco patterns for a Rosedale Park renovation and creating contemporary glass-and-steel systems for downtown condos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do your railings work with brick veneer?

We use through-wall mounting systems that distribute weight across multiple bricks, preventing cracking in Detroit's older masonry.

Can you match my existing wrought iron?

Our metallurgist analyzes original samples to duplicate composition and forge marks.
