Nolensville Metalworking
Volunteer State Railing and Ironworks designs, fabricates, and installs custom railings, gates, fencing, balusters, cable rail, and decorative metalwork in Nolensville and nearby areas. We fabricate our products to perfectly fit the dimensions of your property or space, and we provide CAD drawings before fabrication. You will receive truly expert metalwork from design through installation.
Cory Carpenter brings more than 13 years of experience in ornamental ironwork and direct owner involvement throughout the entire project. Call (629) 333-4914 to schedule a consultation.
We fabricate interior stair railings for entry stairs, open-concept staircases, upper landings, and other indoor transitions where the railing needs to fit the layout cleanly and look like part of the home. Some Nolensville clients want a simpler iron design with square pickets and straightforward lines. Others want more detail in the balusters, posts, or transitions. We measure the stair geometry on site and build the railing to suit the rise, run, turns, and finish details of the space.
We build porch and deck railings for front steps, stoops, covered porches, rear decks, and multi-level outdoor spaces. The layout has to match the actual dimensions of the opening, stair run, and landings so the finished product looks clean and feels solid in everyday use. Some projects call for a more traditional iron railing with vertical pickets. Others call for a simpler, more modern design. We fabricate the sections to fit the property instead of trying to make prefabricated material work.
We fabricate balcony and landing railings for second-story porches, interior overlooks, stair transitions, and elevated entries. These projects often involve multiple connected sections, corners, and level changes, so accurate field measurement matters. We build the railing system so the lines stay consistent from one section to the next and the finished installation looks intentional rather than pieced together.
We fabricate cable rail systems for decks, balconies, stairs, and other areas where the owner wants a more open appearance. The frame, spacing, corner details, and cable layout all need to be worked out correctly before fabrication starts. We build cable railing with steel framing and stainless cable, using measured dimensions from the actual site so the system fits properly and performs the way it should.
We build walk gates for side yards, garden paths, courtyards, entry walkways, and other access points around the property. The opening gets measured on site so the gate fits the actual width, grade, and post conditions instead of relying on a rough estimate. Clients can go with a simple design, a more decorative wrought iron layout, or something that ties into nearby railings or fencing.
We fabricate driveway gates for wider openings where alignment, swing clearance, hardware placement, and post installation need to be handled correctly from the start. Some Nolensville homeowners want a more ornamental design that complements the architecture of the house. Others want a cleaner look with straighter lines and less detail. We build the gate around the property conditions and the style the client wants, not around a stock size.
We build gates for pool enclosures, patio entries, and backyard transitions where the gate needs to work smoothly and fit with the surrounding fencing or railing. These projects often involve matching nearby sections, handling grade changes, and making sure the proportions look right with the rest of the outdoor space.
We also fabricate interior gates for wine rooms, pet areas, stair openings, and other spaces where the owner wants controlled access with a more custom look. These projects are usually more design-driven than a standard exterior gate, and they give homeowners a chance to carry metalwork into the interior of the house in a way that fits the overall design.
We fabricate wrought iron fencing for front boundaries, side yards, pools, gardens, courtyards, and larger perimeter sections. Custom fabrication makes a big difference when the property has slopes, corners, transitions, or layout changes that do not work well with prefabricated panels. Many Nolensville projects call for fencing that defines the property clearly while still keeping an open and finished appearance.
We fabricate privacy panels and screens for patios, outdoor living areas, equipment enclosures, and other parts of the property where the owner wants more separation and a more finished look. CNC-cut metal panels can be sized to the space and designed to work with the style of the home, whether the goal is privacy, screening, or a decorative feature that ties the area together.
We also build metal planter boxes and other accent pieces for patios, entry areas, courtyards, and pool spaces. These smaller fabrication projects help carry the same material and design language through the property and are a good fit for owners who want more than one standalone metal feature.
We replace old wood spindles with metal balusters when the existing handrail and posts are still in good shape. This is a practical option for homeowners who want to update a staircase or deck without replacing the full railing system. We install straight, twisted, basket, and other baluster styles depending on the look the client wants, and many of these projects move much faster than a full custom railing replacement.
We begin with a free estimate, either virtually or in person, then schedule a site visit to take measurements and confirm the layout. Before fabrication starts, we provide CAD drawings so you can review the design and approve the details. From there, we fabricate the project to the measured dimensions, send it for powder coating, and then schedule delivery and installation. Once the work is installed, we clean up the site and walk the finished project with you.

We build interior stair railings, porch railings, deck railings, balcony railings, landing railings, and custom handrails for a range of residential projects. We also fabricate cable rail systems for clients who want a more open look.
Yes. We fabricate and install cable rail systems for decks, balconies, stairways, and other areas where the owner wants cleaner sightlines. The frame and cable layout need to be built correctly, which is why accurate measurement and fabrication matter so much on these projects.
In many cases, yes. We can often fabricate new railings, gates, or fence sections that work with existing nearby metalwork and architectural details. We review dimensions, layout, and finish details during the consultation to see what kind of match makes sense.
Yes. We replace wood balusters with metal balusters when the larger railing structure is still worth keeping. This is a common upgrade for stairs and decks because it changes the look of the space without requiring a complete rebuild.
The process includes a free estimate, field measurement, CAD drawings, fabrication, powder coating, and installation. You review the design before fabrication starts, which helps keep the project moving in the right direction.
Project length depends on the size and complexity of the job. A baluster replacement may move much faster than a custom gate or a multi-section railing project. We give you a clearer timeline once we review the scope and layout.
