We fabricate interior stair railings for foyers, main staircases, upper landings, basement stairs, loft edges, and remodel projects. Each railing is measured on site, then built around the stair layout instead of a standard panel size. That allows us to account for turns, landing transitions, rail height, post placement, flooring changes, and the style of the surrounding trim.
Design can stay simple or move into a more decorative direction. Many clients choose square iron pickets and clean posts for a newer look. Others want scrollwork, baskets, twisted balusters, or a more traditional wrought iron design. We can help compare those options, prepare CAD drawings, and fabricate the railing once the design feels right.
We build exterior handrails for front steps, side entries, garage stairs, porch steps, basement walkouts, and other access points. These smaller projects still need careful measurement. A short stair run can look awkward fast if the angle, return, mounting points, or post placement is off by even a little.
Our shop can build straightforward steel handrails, more decorative iron rails, wall-mounted rails, post-mounted rails, and custom shapes for unusual entry conditions. We can also match nearby railings or gates when the property already has existing metalwork.
We fabricate porch and deck railings for front porches, covered outdoor areas, rear decks, raised landings, and multi-section layouts. White House has plenty of homes where outdoor railings get used every day, so we pay close attention to fit, spacing, and layout before the project moves into the shop.
A porch railing may need to work around columns, steps, brick edges, or existing trim. A deck railing may include stairs, corners, gates, or long runs across the back of the home. We measure the space, talk through the look you want, and build the railing sections for that property.
We install cable rail for decks, balconies, stairways, and raised outdoor spaces where clients want a more open railing style. Cable rail needs a strong frame, correct post spacing, clean corner planning, and proper cable layout. We work through those details before fabrication so the finished system looks sharp and feels stable.
Cable rail can be built with steel posts and rails, and it pairs well with modern homes, updated decks, and outdoor spaces where the owner wants less visual weight than a standard picket railing. We can also talk through finish options, top rail style, and how the railing will connect at stairs or landings.
We replace wood spindles with metal balusters when the existing handrail and posts are still worth keeping. This is one of the most efficient ways to update an interior staircase. The project can often change the look of the entry, hallway, or living space without a full railing rebuild.
We install straight, square, twisted, basket, and other baluster styles. Before the work starts, we review the existing rail, spacing, attachment points, and finish condition. If the larger structure is sound, baluster replacement can give the staircase a much cleaner look at a lower cost than a full custom railing.
Volunteer State Railing and Ironworks fabricates custom gates for walkways, side yards, driveways, patios, gardens, pool areas, and specialty openings. Every gate starts with the actual opening, grade, swing direction, hardware needs, and nearby features. That information guides the design, because a gate has to fit the space and operate smoothly after installation.
Gate styles can range from simple steel layouts to more detailed wrought iron designs. We can build gates that match a fence, coordinate with porch railings, or add a more finished look to a driveway or backyard entry. Interior specialty gates are also available for wine rooms, pet areas, stair openings, and other spaces where a custom metal gate makes sense.
We fabricate wrought iron fencing for front yards, pool areas, gardens, side yards, courtyards, and perimeter sections. Custom fencing gives you more control over height, spacing, style, gate placement, and layout than prefab panels. It also helps when a property has corners, slopes, curves, or changes in grade.
A custom iron fence can be simple and understated or more ornamental. We can build fencing with straight pickets, decorative tops, custom posts, and matching gates. After fabrication, the metal is finished for a clean appearance and reduced upkeep. If the project includes a gate, railing, or privacy panel, we can design those pieces together so the finished work feels connected.
Our shop also builds privacy screens, CNC-cut panels, planter boxes, porch accents, metal columns, equipment screens, and other specialty pieces for homes and outdoor spaces. These projects work well when a property needs a custom size, a matching finish, or a design that cannot be ordered from a catalog. We can build one standalone feature or coordinate several metal details as part of a larger project.
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 schedule delivery and installation. Once the work is installed, we clean up the site and walk the finished project with you.
