Our Custom Ornamental Railing Services in Denver
Ornamental Railing Installation (interior and exterior)
We install new ornamental railings for stairs, balconies, porches, and walkways. Our crew measures on site, confirms code requirements, and sets posts with anchors or core-drilled sleeves. Welds are completed for strength, then the assembly is finished to match your home’s style and exposure.
Custom Design and Engineering (drawings, style selection, mockups)
Bring us a photo, sketch, or idea and we’ll turn it into shop-ready drawings. We help you pick profiles, top-rail shapes, picket spacing, and decorative elements. For complex projects, we can provide shop drawings for approval before fabrication.
Interior Stair Railings (modern, classic, spiral, cable accents)
From straight runs to spiral stairs, we fabricate indoor railings that meet grasp and height rules. Options include square or round pickets, decorative collars, and wood cap rails. Where allowed, cable or glass accents can provide an open look while maintaining safety.
Porch and Entry Handrails; ADA-compliant solutions
We fabricate sturdy handrails for entries, ramps, and steps. Graspable profiles and continuous returns help users maintain balance. ADA-friendly options are available for slopes and landings, and we can add mid-rails where extra support is requested.
Ornamental Railing Repair and Restoration
We fix loose rails, replace damaged balusters, and correct out-of-code conditions. Where possible, we reuse sound sections and replace only what is worn. Repairs include grinding, rewelding, hardware upgrades, and surface preparation for a fresh finish.
Fabrication and Finishing (MIG/TIG, multi-stage powder coating)
In our shop, certified welders fabricate panels and posts using steel or aluminum. Joints are fully welded and ground smooth. After fabrication, surfaces are cleaned and prepared, then finished with primer and powder coat or paint. For exterior work, we recommend a multi-stage powder coat system for durability in Denver’s sun and snow.
Exterior Deck and Balcony Railings
We fabricate and install exterior railings designed to handle weather and use. Posts are set with mechanical anchors or core-drilled and epoxy-set where needed. We verify guard height and picket spacing so the system meets current standards.
Historic Style Replication and Code Upgrades
Want to keep the original look? We match scrolls, knuckles, and finials found on older Denver homes, while bringing the structure up to today’s requirements. If needed, we add internal reinforcement or change spacing to meet the 4-inch sphere rule for guards.
Materials & Styles
Steel and Wrought Iron
Strong, versatile, and ideal for detailed work. These metals accept powder coating well, giving Denver homeowners a durable, low-maintenance finish. Powder-coated steel is widely used locally for both longevity and appearance.
Finish Options
Our shop recommends multi-stage powder coating for most exterior railings because it protects against sun, snow, and moisture while keeping color consistent over time. The finish resists chipping and fading and helps prevent rust, which reduces routine maintenance to simple cleaning.
Mixed Materials and Accents
Glass or cable accents can open sightlines while keeping railings safe and code-aware when allowed. These pair well with both steel and aluminum frames.
Aluminum
Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, aluminum works well for exterior stairs, decks, and balconies where weight and weather are concerns. It delivers a clean look with minimal upkeep.
Popular Styles in Denver
Current projects in the area lean toward clean lines and minimalist patterns, with some homes adding laser-cut panels for interest. Traditional scrolls, collars, and finials remain available for classic homes and historic districts.
Colors and Textures
Powder coating comes in a wide range of colors and sheens to match surrounding trim and hardware for a cohesive look.

Ornamental Iron Railings in Denver: Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do you offer for ornamental railings?
Steel and wrought iron are the most common for strength and detail. Aluminum is available for lighter weight and corrosion resistance. During your estimate, we’ll recommend the best fit for your use and location.
How do you protect metal railings against rust in Denver’s climate?
We prep the surface, seal weld joints, and apply a durable shop finish. For exterior work we recommend a multi-stage powder coat. Regular cleaning with mild soap and a yearly inspection keeps the finish looking good.
What is your installation process and timeline?
A site visit confirms measurements and code items. After design approval, we fabricate in the shop, then schedule installation. Simple jobs can be installed in a day, while larger balcony or deck projects may take longer depending on access and weather.
Are your railings code-compliant and ADA-capable?
Yes. Our railings meet the codes adopted by your city or county, and we verify specifics at the site visit. When ADA applies, we provide graspable profiles, smooth returns, and continuous runs on ramps.
What does a typical project cost and what affects price?
Price is driven by material, linear footage, design complexity, finish, and site conditions. For planning, many Denver projects fall in these ranges: entry handrails about $100 to $180 per foot; deck or balcony guards with simple pickets about $180 to $260 per foot; decorative patterns $300 to $500 per foot. Your written quote will reflect your exact scope.
How much maintenance is required?
Clean rails with mild soap and water a few times per year. Rinse winter salts promptly. Inspect for chips or damage each spring and contact us if touch-up or a repair is needed.
Do you handle permits and HOA approvals?
When required, we can assist with drawings, submittals, and inspections. For HOA properties, we provide finish samples and style notes for review.
Can you match an existing railing style?
Yes. We can replicate scrolls, collars, and picket patterns, then adjust spacing and anchorage to meet today’s standards.
