Clarksville’s mix of historic neighborhoods, military housing, and new construction calls for railings that fit different styles and uses. Families in newer subdivisions often need deck and porch railings that are sturdy and low-maintenance. Downtown staircases and historic properties may require custom iron handrails that reflect the character of the building while meeting modern safety standards. Along the riverfront, cable railing systems are popular because they provide safety without blocking views. Interior stair railings are another common project, especially in larger homes where the staircase doubles as a centerpiece.
Fencing requests vary across Clarksville. Some homeowners need privacy fencing for subdivisions where houses are close together. Others, particularly those on larger tracts of land near Sango or outside the city center, prefer perimeter fencing that secures the property. Pool fencing is a steady request in family neighborhoods, designed to meet code while fitting into backyard landscaping. Decorative fencing is also common, especially around courtyards or landscaped areas, where it adds definition and complements outdoor spaces. Every fence is fabricated in our shop so it fits the property rather than being forced into place.
A custom gate adds security and makes a strong first impression. We install driveway gates for Clarksville homes that can be automated for easier entry. Walkway and garden gates are designed to match existing fences or to stand alone as architectural details. Specialty projects include smaller gates for patios, courtyards, or wine storage areas. For commercial clients, we fabricate security gates built for higher traffic and heavier use. All gates are mounted with quality hardware so they operate smoothly.
Over time, old wooden spindles loosen, crack, or require constant repainting. Replacing them with metal balusters is one of the fastest ways to update a home. The process usually takes a single day, since the handrails and posts stay in place. Powder-coated finishes are available in several colors, and design options include straight, twisted, square, and basket shapes. Homeowners find this upgrade to be an affordable way to improve safety and refresh the look of a staircase or deck.
Our shop also produces custom pieces that go beyond standard railings and fences. Privacy screens help define patios in neighborhoods where houses are closer together. CNC-cut panels are used for both residential and commercial spaces, bringing pattern and texture to walls or outdoor areas. We also fabricate planter boxes and accent pieces that tie together outdoor living spaces. Each project is designed for its setting, whether that’s a modern townhouse near downtown Clarksville or a traditional family home in St. Bethlehem.
Founder Cory Carpenter built the company after serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. That background influences the way we approach projects. We pay extraordinary attention to detail, and we are committed to excellence and complete follow-through.
Instead of relying on prefabricated parts, every piece is cut, welded, and finished in our shop. This allows us to adapt to Clarksville’s range of properties, from riverfront condos to rural estates.
Every client reviews a CAD drawing before fabrication begins. This step gives a clear picture of the final design and reduces surprises during installation.
Our estimates explain what’s included, and our timelines are based on the real scope of work. Clients know what to expect from the beginning.
