Railings are one of the first things people notice when they walk up to a home or step inside. They also play a major role in safety, especially on staircases, decks, and elevated balconies. We fabricate modern metal stair railing systems for open interiors, ornamental iron railings for traditional homes, and stainless steel wire railing systems that keep views open without feeling bulky.
Exterior projects often include wrought iron handrails for outdoor steps, porch railings, and balcony systems that need to handle Tennessee weather year after year. Each railing is measured carefully, fabricated in our shop, and installed to meet code requirements while fitting the style of the home.
Many Lebanon property owners want fencing that feels permanent and well-built, especially on larger residential lots or homes with long frontage. Some clients choose simple vertical pickets for a clean perimeter fence, while others prefer decorative scrollwork that reflects the character of Southern architecture.
Wrought iron fence installation is also common around pools, courtyards, and garden borders. These projects provide clear boundaries while keeping the space visually open. Because we fabricate every section ourselves, we can account for slopes, curves, and uneven grades that are common across Middle Tennessee properties.
Powder-coated finishes help protect steel and iron against moisture and wear, keeping maintenance low while preserving the look for decades.
A custom gate changes the way a property functions. Some Lebanon homeowners request driveway gates with automation for privacy and controlled access. Others need smaller pedestrian gates that define walkways, patios, or garden entrances.
We also fabricate specialty gates for wine cellars, courtyards, and interior openings where a standard off-the-shelf product would never fit correctly. Each gate is built with dependable hinges, latches, and hardware so it operates smoothly through daily use.
Clients can choose from traditional wrought iron patterns, clean modern frames, or designs that match existing railings and fencing.
Many homes still have wood spindles that loosen, crack, or simply feel dated. Replacing them with metal balusters is one of the fastest ways to update a staircase or deck without removing the posts or handrails.
We install straight, twisted, basket, and square balusters in a range of powder-coated finishes. Most baluster upgrades are completed in a single day, making this a practical improvement for homeowners who want a noticeable change without a major renovation.
Cable railing has become more common in newer construction and modern remodels. Stainless steel wire railing systems work especially well on decks, balconies, and interior staircases where homeowners want openness and clean lines.
These systems require careful planning and proper tensioning, which is why professional fabrication and installation matter. Our team designs cable railing layouts that meet safety standards while maintaining the streamlined look that makes these systems so popular.
Not every project involves a staircase or perimeter fence. Many Lebanon clients ask for decorative fabrication that adds function and structure to outdoor spaces. We build CNC-cut privacy screens, architectural panels, and custom planter boxes that help define patios, hide equipment, or create separation in tighter areas.
Some designs lean traditional with scrollwork and detail, while others use modern geometric patterns. Each piece is drafted, fabricated, and finished to fit the property, not pulled from a generic catalog.
We are more than metal railing fabricators. Our process is designed to make custom work clear and manageable from start to finish.
Every project begins with accurate measurement and a design conversation. Clients receive CAD drawings before fabrication begins, allowing you to review the look, spacing, and details early in the process.
Once approved, our shop handles fabrication in steel or wrought iron, followed by finishing and installation. Quotes are detailed and straightforward, with clear timelines based on the size and complexity of the job.

Juliet, Smyrna, La Vergne, Murfreesboro, Franklin, Brentwood, Nashville, Cookeville, Crossville, and Knoxville.
