Our ornamental iron railings are available in traditional and contemporary styles for interior staircases, balconies, porches, and other areas of your property. We can incorporate scrollwork, decorative pickets, custom posts, or simpler designs with straight lines and minimal ornamentation.
If you already have ironwork on your property, we can also discuss ways to match the existing style. Each section is measured and fabricated for the installation site, with careful attention to corners, changes in elevation, and the way the railing connects to surrounding surfaces.
We make custom steel handrails for front steps, concrete stairways, garage entrances, basement access, and commercial buildings. Depending on the location, these may be wall-mounted rails, post-mounted systems, or freestanding handrails.
Our fabricators account for stair pitch, mounting surfaces, handrail height, and any turns or returns required by the layout. You can choose a plain steel design or add ornamental details to complement other features around your home or business.
For a more open appearance, we offer cable railing systems and custom metalwork for glass rail installations. Cable railing uses stainless steel cables supported by a properly designed frame, while glass systems use panels with compatible posts and hardware.
Both options work well for decks, balconies, elevated patios, and indoor staircases. Cable systems are particularly popular where homeowners want fewer obstructions across a view.
We can review post placement, framing materials, cable spacing, and the details of the installation before you settle on a design.
Volunteer State Railing and Ironworks fabricates custom metal stairs and related components for residential and commercial properties. Projects may involve steel stair framing, landings, support elements, or a new railing system for an existing staircase.
We can work from an established construction plan or help develop the metalwork details for a remodel. Proper dimensions and attachment points are particularly important when new steel components must connect to an existing structure.
If your staircase has wood spindles, we can replace them with metal balusters while retaining the existing handrail and posts when their condition allows.
Available styles include straight square balusters, twisted patterns, baskets, and other ornamental iron designs. We inspect the existing railing before installation and recommend options that suit its dimensions. Many baluster replacement projects can be completed considerably faster than a full staircase renovation.
We fabricate custom driveway gates in ornamental wrought iron and simpler steel designs. Each gate is planned around the entrance width, driveway grade, available clearance, and appropriate hardware. We can also discuss designs suitable for automatic gate operators.
For Fairview property owners who want matching entrance features, we can coordinate gate patterns and finishes with nearby fencing or existing decorative ironwork.
Smaller pedestrian gates are available for gardens, side yards, courtyards, patios, and pool enclosures. These can include straightforward vertical pickets or decorative patterns, depending on the property.
We measure the opening and account for hinge placement, latch operation, and the surrounding fence or wall. Specialty gates for pets and interior spaces are also available.
We build custom wrought iron fences for front yards, garden boundaries, pool areas, courtyards, and property perimeters. Clients can select picket styles, decorative tops, post designs, and matching gates.
Our shop fabricates fence sections to the dimensions of the property, including areas with slopes or unusual corners. Powder-coated finishes are available to protect the metal and reduce maintenance.
Commercial fencing projects may involve pedestrian boundaries, entrances, courtyard enclosures, or security gates. We can fabricate individual sections or larger installations according to the site's requirements.
For existing properties, we review access points and nearby structures before developing the fence layout. Custom gates can be included wherever controlled access is necessary.
Our fabrication services extend to CNC-cut metal panels, privacy screens, planter boxes, porch columns, architectural brackets, and decorative accents. We also make custom screens for HVAC equipment and trash enclosures. If you need a particular size, pattern, or finish, we can discuss the design and develop CAD drawings before production. These specialty projects may be standalone installations or part of a larger renovation that includes railings, fencing, or gates.
We offer free estimates by phone, email, video consultation, or an on-site visit. Once you're ready to proceed, we provide an itemized work order and schedule measurements. You'll receive CAD drawings for approval before production begins, so there is an opportunity to adjust the design. Our team then fabricates the metalwork, arranges powder coating, and schedules installation. We finish with a site cleanup and walkthrough so you can inspect the completed project.
