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.

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.
