Steel, Aluminum, and Iron Railings
With the unending growth in Tampa right now, we hear from plenty of builders who are looking to install railings along stairs inside new homes as well as along the stairs out front, which some in other parts of the country may refer to as the stoop. Indoors, a simplistic vertical or horizontal metal rail has taken the place of the dated wooden balusters or ornate ironwork. The straight lines and modern look tend to compliment the newer building style that leaves off crown molding but often accompanies a wide, open floor plan. Although this style is not for everyone and may not match the aesthetic of your home, it is popular right now. We are often asked, "what are other customers doing?" and the straight railing (in horizontal or vertical options) are what we see a lot of.
We can create a wide variety of styles for you as well as an assortment of colors using a high quality powder coating. Find your favorite example on Pinterest or take a photo yourself and we can match it. For quite some time, ornamental iron work was commonly used in home banisters and along perimeter fences, like a fence to surround your front or back yard. The lifespan of iron is incredible. Traditionally iron fences were installed, painted gloss black and required little to no maintenance. The fence could potentially remain at a home into the next generation.
Iron is still used today but it is one of the more premium materials because more light weight, versatile options have become very common and easy to work with. Iron is usually the heaviest metal option which adds cost for the delivery and installation components. Aluminum is one of the lightest metals we work with and can be transported much easier. Steel falls in between these two weights but can be created in hollow or solid pieces. Sometimes a customer's choice may be most influenced by the cost of the metal while others may be more concerned with the look of their rails. Whatever route you go, we'll be happy to be part of the process. Creating satisfied customers is just as rewarding as creating finished goods that fulfill their purpose.
We can build balcony railings in-house and have them delivered to a job site ready for a Tampa railing installation. We can add aluminum railings to porches or decks as an upgrade or part of a new build. In these situations we will work with you or your designer on styles and finishes to make sure your railing matches or enhances your home, business or investment property. We are not limited to what you would find online. We'll customize shapes and sizes to make sure all your railings and stair hand rails are up to code and look beautiful too. If you don't prefer the look of a screened in pool, opt for a safe and classy pool fence which will be sturdy and can be built at any height. These can be installed into a lawn or cement (among other materials) even if the cement has already been poured.
Deck Railings
We commonly replace aged wooden railings with an upgrade to metal. Although the cost of metal vs wood is higher, you will reduce your maintenance time, increase your lifespan and improve the look as well. We can share photos with you or you can bring your ideas to us and with a visit to the site and some measurements, we'll be able to provide you with a free, no obligation quote for your deck, balcony, or porch handrails.
Metal Handrails
Hand rails are far more common than many people realize. Almost anywhere there are more than a couple stairs, railings need to accompany the stairs, whether inside or outside. We have the capability to build and install all kinds of metal railings from ornamental to popular modern, straight, and horizontal railings. We can even help with glass railings or cable railings but both of those options are pricier than standard all metal rails.
Public and Commercial Railings
In our lifetime, with the growth of a litigious culture as well as the overdue recognition that all humans should be allowed equal access to facilities, handrails have become a necessary part of our outdoor landscape. Nearly all steps in a public setting are accompanied by some kind or sturdy railing. It's become so common, that they are rarely noticed anymore by able bodied folks who take them for granted. Until one's body ages to the point where they depend upon a solid rail for support or an unfortunate accident sends someone out into the world with a cast, boot, or wheelchair, most railings just blend into the landscape.
Pipe railing is one of the most common railing options you'll see in commercial settings such as public parks, schools, office buildings, and sometimes retail stores. The round shape of a pipe rail can help with evenly distributing force and it works well in large installations too. Although they may appear more generic, you'll notice these all throughout Tampa and many other cities. They serve as a cost-effective method to get the job done without any bells and whistles but also with very little maintenance required. There are all kinds of Tampa handrails which we can fabricate so find a photo that you love online or call and ask for us to share images of our previous creations.
It's rare that a request is so unique it's not allowed, but this has happened. We will advise if your idea/design is not safe and will not be legally permitted. Safety codes require that these features meet certain size standards with the intention of preventing falls and injuries. Although you may want something customized, keep in mind your friends, guests, and even children could require a standard aid to help them on the stairs one day. We will gladly customize your rails however we still need to do our job to make sure the installation, strength, and longevity of our products will do their ultimate job, which is protecting anyone who may come in contact with them.

Some types of residential and commercial railing options are add-on to stair sets created or installed by other contractors. We can also produce
steel stairs where the matching railings come attached as a single piece. Feel free to bring this up on the phone or reference it when sending us a request.
