Wrought iron stair railing
Feb 2007
We need someone who can help us design and create a couple of stair railings and a banister railing. Does anyone have a referral? Thank you.
I used Universal Ornamental Iron Works to put in hand and stair railings in the front of my old craftsman style home in 2004. They did a great job for a reasonable price- looks like the railing was part of the original design of house rather than added on years later. Their phone is 510.278.2990. I think they are in Hayward. Good lluck

I need to have a decorative iron stair railing built for the concrete steps that are part of the pathway to my front porch. I haven't found any recommendations on the website for metal fencing. Can anyone recommend a company or individual specializing in this type of work, especially small jobs? Thanks very much! Nancy
To Nancy who was looking for someone for her iron stair railing.. We were very happy with Serratos Iron Works Co, located at 927 76th Ave, Oakland. We worked with Louis, 510-636-9227 Dan

We've had a great experience with Serratos Iron Works. They made the railings (and gate, posts and pickets...) for our new deck, and they also made us new handrails for the stairs inside our home. They were fast and super nice. Their price was also excellent! Serratos Iron Works, 923 76th Ave, Oakland, 510-636-9227 Dan

We need to find wrought iron hand railings for interior stairways -- does anyone know where we can find them or find someone who makes them? My contractor says that these need to be custom-made (I haven't found any in any home improvement stores) and our job is too small (only 2 stair cases) to interest any of the ironworkers who would make them. Any suggestions? Thanks. SMB
We just had a wrought iron stair railing installed by Tim Cisneros, an architectural blacksmith in Oakland. You can see it on his website, www.theforgeworks.com under ''Residence Railing, Albany, CA 10/25/02.'' It was a small job--just the stairs from our first floor to the second (about 16 feet), and we enjoyed working with him. The work was neat, on time, and precisely done. You might give him a call. 510.763.1242. R. K.
Mr. Bill Roan Blacksmith Home: 532-5158 is a very talented local blacksmith who can make custom railings for your home. He was a joy to work with. He came to my home and listened to what I needed and then made something even more perfect than I imagined. He also teaches his trade at Hayward CSU. Call him and tell him JM Drew sent you. jmd
Hi, in 2021 we worked with Paul Petruzzelli at Bay Area Railings https://bayarearailings.com/
We love the handrails they made for our front porch steps.
Hi! I just had a handrail installed by Jesse at Bayland Welding and Fabrication:(510) 685-8476. Jesse communicates well via text and I'm please with my new handrail. Feel free to DM me for my address if you want to come by and check it out.

I also recommend Paul from Bay Area Railings. He did metal guardrails for our front steps, back deck, and interior stair. He is easy to work with and fabricates from his shop in Richmond.
