We’ve been crafting stair railings for years at Hand Crafted Metalworks, and one thing is clear: a staircase is more than just steps, it’s a statement. A custom metal stair railing can completely change the feel of your home or business space. It’s not just about getting from one floor to another; it’s about creating something that looks great, lasts for decades, and keeps people safe.
When clients first come to us, they often wonder if metal is “too cold” or industrial. Our experience tells us otherwise. A thoughtfully designed metal railing can blend with any interior style, modern, traditional, or somewhere in between. More importantly, it’s strong, reliable, and low-maintenance. By investing in a custom railing, you’re not just adding a functional feature, you’re upgrading your entire space.
Choosing a custom metal stair railing is more than a design decision. It’s practical, smart, and adds real value. Here’s why we always recommend it:

When someone comes to us at Hand Crafted Metalworks, we start by listening. Understanding your space, style, and needs is key. Our process is simple, but we sweat the details:
We talk about your staircase, the look you want, and what’s important, safety, style, or both. No rushed decisions. We want your railing to feel right from the start.
Next, we sketch and refine the design. You’ll see what it will look like in your space, and we make tweaks until it’s perfect. Every curve and weld is intentional.
Once you approve, we bring the design to life in our workshop. Every piece is measured, welded, and finished carefully. Then, our team installs it with precision so it looks seamless and lasts for years.
