Railing Repair

Railing Repair

Restore safety to your porch, deck, or stair rails.

Michigan winters are brutal on metal railings. We've repaired hundreds of wobbly balusters on Royal Oak bungalows and completely rebuilt ornate railings for Boston-Edison historic districts.

Using cold-rolled steel or wrought iron (whichever matches your original), we fabricate replacement parts in our Detroit shop. For modern homes, we offer powder-coated aluminum that withstands road salt without rusting.

Notable projects include replicating 1920s scrollwork for a Palmer Woods mansion and creating ADA-compliant railings for a senior center in Rosedale Park.

Our Process

  1. 01 Step 1: Digital templating of existing rail profiles
  2. 02 Step 2: Custom fabrication with CNC benders
  3. 03 Step 3: Galvanic isolation between dissimilar metals
  4. 04 Step 4: Load-testing to 300 lbs per linear foot

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you match my home's original ironwork?

We maintain a library of common 1920s-40s Detroit railing patterns and can recreate most designs from photographs.

How long until new railings can withstand snow loads?

Our welds reach full strength within 24 hours - faster than most epoxies or mechanical fasteners.
