Custom Metal Railings & Handrails in Arlington, TX
Custom steel railings and handrails for stairs, balconies, and porches across Arlington and DFW, each designed, welded, and installed by hand to fit your space.
Styles and options
Vertical picket, horizontal cable-look infill, or ornamental steel with scrollwork. Every railing is built to fit, so we can match an existing design, blend with your home, or start from a sketch.
Materials and finishes
We build in steel and finish with baked-on powder coat, which resists chips, fading, and rust far better than brushed paint under the Texas sun. Black is common, but many colors are available.
Built for code and Texas
We build with current Arlington codes in mind: graspable handrails, guard heights, and spacing that won't pass a 4-inch sphere. We confirm exact requirements with the City before fabrication.
Our process
We measure your stairs, balcony or porch on site, agree on the design, then weld and install it ourselves — square, solid and built to meet code.

Common questions
- How much do metal railings cost in the DFW area?
- Custom steel railings in DFW commonly run about $65 to $135 per linear foot installed, with ornamental designs higher. These are general market estimates, not a CJM price. Call us for an exact quote.
- How tall does a stair handrail or balcony railing need to be?
- Under Arlington's adopted codes, residential handrails generally sit 34 to 38 inches and run continuously, while guards on drops over 30 inches are usually at least 36 inches. We confirm exact requirements with the City.
- Is powder coat or paint better for an exterior railing in Texas?
- Powder coat. It's baked on, not brushed, so it resists chipping, fading, and rust far longer than standard paint under strong Texas sun. We prep the steel before coating on exterior work.
