Custom Metal Railings in Cullman, AL

Stair Railings for Interior and Exterior Spaces

Metal stair railings remain one of the most requested features we fabricate. These can be simple and understated or decorative and traditional, depending on the style of the building. We design railings for straight stairs, landings, curved staircases, and outdoor stairways, always taking measurements on site so the finished railing fits cleanly and feels natural in the space.

Interior railings often focus on appearance and comfort, while exterior stair railings are designed with durability and long-term exposure in mind. Both are fabricated to feel solid and comfortable in daily use.

Deck, Porch, and Balcony Railings

Metal railings are a strong choice for decks, porches, and balconies where strength and longevity matter. We fabricate railings that work with wood, concrete, and composite decking systems, shaping posts and panels to suit the layout rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.

These railings can be decorative or minimal in appearance, depending on the surrounding architecture. Many clients prefer designs that maintain sightlines while still providing a strong visual frame around the space.

Cable Rail, Glass, and Horizontal Railing Options

We fabricate cable railings, glass railings, and horizontal metal railing systems. Cable railings are popular for elevated decks and loft areas where openness matters. Glass railings provide a clean, modern feel while maintaining safety and visibility. Horizontal metal railings offer structure and rhythm without feeling heavy.

Each system is fabricated to work as a complete assembly, with posts, hardware, and finishes selected to suit the environment.

Custom Metal Fencing and Gates

Driveway Gates and Entry Gates

A custom metal gate creates an incredible first impression. We fabricate driveway and entry gates in a range of styles, from ornate wrought iron to simpler modern designs. Gates are built to match the scale of the entrance and can include decorative panels, plates, or custom details that make the piece feel intentional rather than generic.

Yard, Garden, and Perimeter Fencing

You can't beat the character of custom metal fencing. We fabricate fencing for yards, gardens, and property boundaries, shaping each section to follow grade changes and site conditions. Designs can be highly decorative or clean and straightforward, depending on the setting.

Courtyard and Pedestrian Gates

Smaller gates often carry the most personality. Courtyard and pedestrian gates allow for detailed ornamental welding, custom patterns, and thoughtful proportions. These gates serve a practical role while also acting as a visual focal point.

Ornamental Welding and One-Off Custom Projects

Decorative Ironwork and Architectural Details

Beyond railings and gates, we fabricate decorative ironwork such as porch columns, brackets, window accents, plates, and other architectural details. These pieces are often custom-sized and shaped to complement existing materials and finishes.

Fabrication for Unique or Non-Standard Projects

Some projects do not fit neatly into a category. We regularly fabricate custom panels, fire pits, specialty components, and one-off metal features based on client ideas or functional needs. If it can be designed and built from metal, we are happy to discuss it.

Our Design, Fabrication, and Installation Process

Design Conversations and Site Evaluation

Each project begins with a discussion about goals, budget, and practical considerations. We review the site, take measurements, and talk through design options so there are no surprises later.

In-Shop Fabrication and Finishing

Fabrication takes place in our shop, where we cut, weld, and assemble each component. Once fabricated, the metal is finished with coatings or treatments suited for indoor or outdoor use.

Installation in Cullman and Surrounding Areas

Because most fabrication is completed ahead of time, installation is efficient and well-coordinated. We install each piece with a focus on fit, alignment, and long-term performance.

Yes. We regularly design metalwork that complements existing architecture, whether the style is traditional, rustic, or modern. We review the space and materials before finalizing any design.

Do you fabricate everything in-house?

Most projects are fabricated in our shop rather than assembled from prefabricated parts. This allows us to control fit, proportions, and overall quality.

Yes. Outdoor metalwork is fabricated with materials and finishes chosen to handle weather exposure and long-term use.

Do you work with both residential and commercial clients?

We work with homeowners, builders, business owners, and property managers. Our projects range from single residential features to larger commercial installations.

How long does a typical custom metalworking project take?

Timelines vary based on scope and complexity. After reviewing the project, we provide a clear estimate for fabrication and installation.

Can you modify or repair existing metalwork?

In many cases, yes. We can evaluate existing railings, gates, or metal features to see whether repairs or modifications make sense.
