Custom Metalworking In Harvest, AL For Railings, Fences, Gates, More

If you need custom metal fabrication in Harvest or the surrounding areas, TADS Metalworks designs, builds, and installs it. We fabricate railings, fences, gates, stair systems, structural supports, and ornamental metal features for residential and commercial properties. Every project is measured on site, fabricated in our shop, and installed securely.

Whether you already know exactly what you need, or you'd like direction in regards to handrail design, cable railing, fencing, gates, or anything else, we are ready to provide a consultation and detailed quote.

What We Can Fabricate and Install in Harvest

We handle these and more:

• Metal handrails and guardrails
• Cable and glass railing systems
• Wrought iron and steel fencing
• Driveway and courtyard gates
• Spiral, straight, and floating staircases
• Structural steel columns and supports
• Ornamental and decorative metal features

Everything is custom built to your property, and nothing is pre-fab or drop-shipped.

Custom Metal Handrails and Guardrails

Handrails need to be solid, properly mounted, and built to code. Whether it's a short porch stair, a full deck perimeter, or an interior staircase, we fabricate rail systems that are aligned correctly and anchored securely.

We build stair handrails for straight runs, landings, spiral stairs, and curved layouts. For decks and elevated spaces, we fabricate cable railings, horizontal bar systems, glass panel railings, and traditional wrought iron guardrails.

If this is a commercial property in Harvest or Madison County, we also build ADA-compliant guardrails that meet height and spacing requirements.

Custom Gates for Driveways and Property Access

A properly built gate should swing correctly, align cleanly, and hold up under weight and weather. We fabricate single-swing and double-swing driveway gates using steel or wrought iron frames. Each gate is built to match the opening width and mounted to posts designed to support the load.

If you want automation later, we can fabricate the frame to accommodate motors and access controls from the beginning.

We also build courtyard gates, garden gates, and side yard access gates. These can match your fencing or stand alone as a focal point.

Wrought Iron and Steel Fencing

Fence runs need to follow grade correctly and remain stable over time. We fabricate iron and steel fence panels that match your layout and tie into gates cleanly.

For front yards, pool enclosures, and decorative boundaries, wrought iron fencing remains a strong option. For larger lots or properties that require extended perimeter fencing, we fabricate heavier steel sections designed for durability.

If you already have fencing and need an extension or repair, we also provide mobile welding for on-site adjustments.

Custom Metal Staircases

We fabricate spiral, straight, and floating stair systems in Harvest. Spiral stairs are common for deck access and detached buildings. Straight staircases are practical for interior and commercial use. Floating stair systems require precise fabrication and mounting, and we build them accordingly.

Each staircase is fabricated in sections in our shop, welded and finished properly, then installed on site. Outdoor stair systems receive coatings suited for exposure to rain and humidity. Indoor systems are finished to match the surrounding space.

Structural Steel and Support Columns

Porch columns, covered patio supports, shop structures, and other load-bearing components must be fabricated accurately. We build steel columns and structural supports to the required dimensions and mount them properly during installation.

If you are a builder working in Harvest or elsewhere in Madison County, we can coordinate fabrication timelines with your construction schedule.

Ornamental Welding and Custom Metal Projects

Some projects are structural. Others are decorative. We handle both.

If you want scrollwork panels, custom plates, address numbers, monograms, signage, brackets, or metal accent pieces, we fabricate them in-house. If you need something functional, such as a reinforced frame or welded repair, we handle that as well.

Bring us the concept or rough idea. We'll tell you what's feasible and how we would build it.

Mobile Welding Services in Harvest, AL

Not every project needs full fabrication in the shop. Sometimes you just need a repair, reinforcement, or modification.

We provide mobile welding services for:

• Gate hinge replacement
• Fence section repair
• Railing extensions
• Stair reinforcement
• Weld repair on existing steel structures

We arrive equipped to cut, weld, grind, and finish on site. This is especially useful for larger properties where removing components would be impractical.

Our Fabrication Process

Every project starts with measurements and a clear discussion of scope. We confirm layout, dimensions, materials, and finish. Once approved, fabrication takes place in our shop using cutting, welding, grinding, and finishing equipment appropriate to the project.

After surface preparation and coating, we schedule installation. During installation, we align each section carefully and secure it with proper anchors or mounting systems. Before we leave, we confirm fit, function, and alignment.

No shortcuts. No guesswork.

Residential and Commercial Metalworking in Harvest

We work with homeowners, builders, contractors, and property managers throughout Harvest and across Madison County. Residential projects often include railings, fences, gates, and stair systems. Commercial projects typically involve guardrails, stair assemblies, and access gates.

FAQs

How much does custom metal fabrication cost in Harvest, AL?

Pricing depends on size, material, and complexity. A small stair handrail may range from $1,200 to $2,500. Deck or porch rail systems typically fall between $2,500 and $6,500 depending on length and material choice. Driveway gates often range from $3,500 to $12,000 based on width, design, and whether automation is included. Larger projects such as full stair systems or commercial guardrails are quoted individually. Every estimate is based on site measurements and a defined scope of work.

Do you fabricate everything in-house or order pre-made systems?

We fabricate components in our shop. That includes cutting, welding, grinding, and finishing. We do not install pre-manufactured railing kits or gate systems. Each project is measured on site, then built to those exact dimensions before installation. This allows for tighter fitment and better long-term stability.

What railing options are available for decks and staircases?

We build cable railings, horizontal bar systems, glass panel railings, and traditional wrought iron railings. Cable rail uses stainless steel tensioned between posts. Glass railings use tempered safety panels mounted in custom metal frames. Horizontal bar systems use steel or aluminum rails spaced to meet code. Wrought iron can be simple or detailed, depending on your preference. We'll explain the pros and maintenance expectations for each option before fabrication begins.

Are your railings and gates built to meet code requirements?

Yes. Residential railings must meet height and spacing requirements under the current International Residential Code, and commercial projects often follow International Building Code standards. ADA handrails have additional height and clearance rules. We fabricate systems that meet these requirements and install them according to proper anchoring methods.

How long does fabrication and installation take?

After final measurements and design approval, most residential projects take one to three weeks to fabricate. Installation for a standard railing or gate typically takes one day. Larger stair systems or extended fence runs may require additional time. We provide a clear timeline before fabrication begins so you know what to expect.

Can you repair or modify existing gates and railings?

Yes. We provide mobile welding services in Harvest and throughout Madison County. We can reinforce weak welds, replace hinges, extend railing sections, or repair damaged fence panels. If the structure is salvageable, repair is often more cost-effective than replacement.

What finishes are available for outdoor metalwork?

Outdoor projects are typically finished with powder coating or protective coatings designed to resist corrosion. For certain applications, galvanized steel may be recommended. The correct finish depends on exposure level and use. We discuss finish options during the quoting process so the system holds up over time.

Do you work with builders and contractors on new construction in Harvest?

We do. Builders often bring us in for stair systems, structural columns, guardrails, and custom gates. We coordinate measurements and installation timing with the construction schedule to avoid delays. If you're a contractor working in Harvest or elsewhere in Madison County, we can fabricate components to fit your plans and install when the site is ready.
