Brentwood Metalworking
Volunteer State Railing and Ironworks serves Brentwood and Williamson County with custom steel and iron fabrication for homes and businesses. Our projects include railings, fences, gates, balusters, cable systems, and decorative pieces, all measured and built perfectly for your home or property. We have more than 13 years of experience, and we bring designs to the table that look beautiful in traditional, historic, and even contemporary homes. To schedule your consultation, call (629) 333-4914.
Brentwood has private neighborhoods and large homes, and our iron gate designs and installation will elevate your property regardless of the street you live on. We fabricate driveway gates that can include automated entry systems, giving residents both convenience and security. Decorative garden gates and smaller pedestrian gates are also available, designed to match the style of the property. For estates and private communities, we build gates with heavy-duty construction and hardware that will operate smoothly for many years.
Local homes range from historic Southern designs to brand-new contemporary construction. We often receive requests for ornamental iron railings by our clients for porches, balconies, and staircases in older or more traditional homes. Newer properties tend to lean toward clean steel lines or cable systems that keep views open. Interior staircases are another frequent project, as many Brentwood homes use these features as a centerpiece. Every railing is fabricated for its setting so it looks natural and provides the safety a family needs.
Whether you need large-scale perimeter fencing for an estate to smaller decorative projects around gardens and pathways, we are happy to help. Some residents ask for fencing that creates privacy and clearly defines their property lines, while others want pool fencing that meets code but doesn’t overwhelm the backyard. Decorative fencing is common in courtyards and gardens, often chosen to complement outdoor entertaining areas. Because each section is built in our shop, we can adapt to unusual layouts or sloped ground where standard panels would not work.
Older homes in Brentwood often still have wood spindles that have started to wear. Replacing them with metal balusters is a quick way to bring a staircase or deck up to date. The process keeps the existing handrails and posts, so the installation is less disruptive and more affordable than a complete rebuild. Choices include straight, twisted, basket, and square profiles in a range of finishes. Many homeowners see this as one of the fastest ways to refresh the look of their home.
Our custom work isn’t limited to railings and fences. We also create planter boxes, privacy screens, and panels for outdoor spaces. These projects are especially popular in neighborhoods where houses sit closer together, or where homeowners want to make patios and courtyards feel more defined. Designs can be simple and modern or detailed and ornamental, depending on the style of the property.
Owner Cory Carpenter began the business after serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. Over the past decade, he has built a team that values straightforward communication and consistent results.
Whether the project is for a historic Southern home or a newly built estate, we design and fabricate metalwork that fits the architecture instead of relying on pre-made panels.
CAD drawings are part of every project. Clients see the design before fabrication starts, making it easier to confirm details and request changes early.
Our estimates explain what is included and when the work will be finished. Materials, labor, and finishes are outlined clearly, and timelines are based on the actual scope of the job.
Brentwood is our focus, but we also work in nearby communities. Green Hills and Forest Hills projects often involve balcony railings and custom gates. In Belle Meade, estate fencing and large entry gates are common requests. In Nolensville, many families call for backyard railings and pool fencing in new subdivisions. Each area has its own needs, and our fabrication shop is set up to handle all of them.
Smaller projects such as baluster replacements may begin around $1,000. Larger estate gates or perimeter fences can cost several thousand. Final pricing is based on design, size, and material, which we review during consultation.
Yes. Many of our Brentwood projects involve estate gates, perimeter fencing, and large-scale railing systems. Our fabrication shop is equipped to handle projects of that scope.
We primarily work with steel and wrought iron, both of which are powder-coated for durability. Stainless steel and cable systems are available for projects that call for a modern look.
We can replicate proportions, styles, and finishes so new sections blend with existing metalwork.
The timeline depends on project size. Baluster replacements are often finished in a day. Larger custom projects, such as gates and fencing, can take several weeks from design approval to installation.
Yes. CAD drawings are included with every project so you can see the design and make adjustments before work begins.
We apply powder-coated finishes to all steel and iron projects. This coating protects against corrosion and reduces maintenance.
