Iron work
Iron, made for the house it goes on.
Older Greater Boston homes rarely have standard dimensions. Every railing, guard and gate is measured on site and made to fit the opening, not adjusted from a catalog size.
We specialize in iron staircases, spiral and winding, and also make railings, gates, window guards, security doors and decorative pieces for inside and outside the house.
Choosing iron work?
Worth knowing first.
- 1
Railings have rules
Stair railings and guards have height and spacing rules in the building code, so a child can't slip through. We build to them.
- 2
Bedroom window guards
Guards on bedroom windows need to open from inside without a key or tool, so they never block a fire escape.
- 3
Outdoor finish
Iron outside lasts longest with a rust-resistant finish suited to New England winters. Ask about it at the visit.
- 4
Match the house
Scrolls, pickets, twists and caps: the pattern should suit the house's age and style. Bring photos of what you like.
