Metalworking
Volunteer State Railing and Ironworks serves Columbia and the rest of Maury County with custom steel and iron fabrication. We design and install railings, gates, fences, balusters, and decorative features that are measured and built specifically for you, and we would love to put our 13+ years of experience to work for you. We focus on strong construction and designs that fit the character of our clients’ homes and businesses. Call (629) 333-4914 to schedule your consultation.
Columbia’s historic downtown includes many older homes where ornamental iron railings add the right finishing touch. These pieces highlight porches, staircases, and balconies while providing safety. In contrast, newer subdivisions and renovated properties often call for steel or cable rail systems that give a cleaner, modern look. Farmhouses and estates outside town usually need sturdy porch or balcony railings that hold up to daily use. Interior stair railings are another frequent request, particularly in homes where the staircase serves as a central design feature. Each project is fabricated to suit its setting, whether traditional or contemporary.
Fencing needs vary widely across Columbia and surrounding communities. On farmland and larger tracts outside the city, perimeter fencing provides both function and security. In Spring Hill and other growing subdivisions, pool fencing is a common request, designed to meet safety requirements while fitting the overall backyard layout. Decorative fencing is often installed around gardens or courtyards, where it frames outdoor spaces and adds character. Because each section is fabricated in our shop, we can adjust to slopes, curves, and unique layouts that prefabricated panels can’t address.
Custom gates are a practical and aesthetic upgrade for many Columbia properties. Driveway gates are especially common for estates and rural properties, and these can be paired with automated systems for easy entry. Garden and walkway gates are designed to coordinate with existing fences, often blending security with style. Smaller gates for patios, courtyards, or wine storage areas allow homeowners to add unique touches indoors and out. For commercial areas around Columbia’s growing business corridors, we build security gates that are built to handle heavier use while maintaining a professional appearance.
Many Columbia homes still have wood spindles on staircases and decks, and these often weaken over time. Metal baluster replacement is one of the fastest ways to upgrade both appearance and safety. The process keeps existing handrails and posts in place, which makes installation quicker and less disruptive. Powder-coated finishes are available in a range of colors, and homeowners can select straight, twisted, basket, or square profiles. In most cases, the job can be completed in a single day, making it a cost-effective option for refreshing a home’s interior or exterior.
In addition to structural projects, our team produces custom decorative and architectural work. CNC-cut panels are used as privacy screens or design accents in outdoor areas. Planter boxes and other fabricated features are common requests for porches, patios, and gardens. These elements are particularly popular in Columbia, where outdoor living plays a big role in both historic neighborhoods and new subdivisions. Every piece is designed for the property and finished to match its surroundings.
We fabricate with steel and wrought iron, finishing each project with a powder coat that resists rust and reduces upkeep. These materials hold up to Tennessee’s humid summers and cold winters.
Clients receive CAD drawings before fabrication begins. This step provides clarity and ensures the final product reflects the agreed-upon design.
Our estimates explain the cost of materials, labor, and installation. Timelines are set according to the actual size and complexity of each project, so expectations remain realistic.
Our service area includes Columbia and communities across Maury County. In Spring Hill, we often install pool fencing and backyard railings for newer homes. Mt.

Each area has its own character, and we’ll make beautiful railings, gates, fences, and more for you.
