Wrought Iron Railing Installation in Massachusetts

Custom wrought iron railings for entries, stairs, and historic buildings, including repairs that keep the original profile and fix the connections underneath.

New iron and matched historic work

Wrought iron style railings are still what many Massachusetts houses are asking for: pickets, scrolls, and a heavier line than a modern cable rail. We fabricate new runs for front steps, porches, and garden stairs, and we repair existing rails when the ornament is worth saving.

Restoration is not a coat of paint over rust. Loose lead, failed posts, and broken castings get rebuilt or replaced so the rail is solid. Larger heritage scopes are on our specialty restoration page.

Entries, stairs, and fences

The same language of pickets shows up on front step railings, porch railings, and ornamental fences. We keep the sightline consistent when the entry rail and the fence are both in the project.

Exterior iron in New England needs a real finish: galvanizing and coating, or another system matched to how wet and salty the site is. We specify that before the rail leaves Everett.

Quote path

Photos of the whole run, a close-up of the picket, the length, and the address are enough to start. If you are matching a neighbor’s rail or a historic commission comment, send that reference too.

FAQ

Can you copy an old picket pattern?

Yes. We replicate the visible profile for additions and repairs, and we improve the hidden connections when the original ones failed.

Is wrought iron the same as steel railings?

Owners use the words interchangeably. We fabricate ornamental steel and iron-style rails, then finish them for exterior use. The drawing and the finish matter more than the label.

Do you repair rusted rails in place?

Small repairs can happen on site. Rails that are structurally done come back to the shop or get replaced. We will tell you which one it is after we see it.
