Bare Ornamental Iron LLC designs, welds, and installs custom residential ironwork that gives Tacoma-area homes lasting strength and a distinct look.
Residential ironwork covers everything from a single interior stair railing to a full entry gate and fence package for your property. Our team handles the design, welding, and installation in-house, so the piece that shows up at your door in Proctor, North Tacoma, or the Old Town waterfront is the same one we drew up with you at the start. Every railing, gate, and staircase we build is fabricated by hand to fit your home, not pulled off a shelf.
Every project starts with residential metal fabrication in our own shop, where certified welders cut, shape, and weld steel and wrought iron into the exact railings, gates, or accents you approved. We work with solid steel bar, pipe, and forged iron components depending on the style and budget, and we finish every piece with a powder coat or hand-applied finish built for Pacific Northwest weather.
Because we offer full residential welding services on-site as well, we can handle repairs, modifications, and add-ons to existing ironwork, not just new installations. If a railing has rusted through or a gate hinge has failed, we can usually fix it without replacing the whole piece.
Homeowners across the South Sound come to us for a wide range of residential iron gates and railings, and no two requests look quite the same. We size and design each piece around your home's architecture, whether that's a craftsman bungalow in the North End or a newer build out toward Graham.
Common residential ironwork options include:
Homeowners hire us because they want ironwork that fits their house, holds up outdoors, and gets installed correctly the first time. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Our shop is built on strong welding craftsmanship, so every joint on your railing, gate, or staircase is structurally sound, not just cosmetically finished. That matters as much for a set of interior iron railings as it does for a driveway gate that takes daily use.

We build residential ironwork to match your home's style, from clean modern lines to traditional scrollwork. Nothing is a stock size or a pre-made kit, which means your railing or gate actually fits the space it was measured for.

We're based right here in Tacoma at 5212 S Washington St Ste B, Tacoma, WA 98409, and we stand behind our fabrication and installation work. If something needs adjusting after install, we're a short drive away, not a call center in another state.
We walk your property, take measurements, and talk through what you want out of the piece, whether that's better security, more curb appeal, or custom stair railings. You'll get an honest read on materials, style options, and a clear cost estimate before anything is drawn up.
We sketch out the design, including materials, finish, and dimensions, and review it with you before fabrication starts. This is where we lock in details like scrollwork, panel spacing, or gate hardware.
Your railing, gate, or staircase piece is welded and finished in our Tacoma shop using the materials and dimensions we agreed on. Each piece is cut and welded to your exact measurements rather than adjusted on-site.
Our crew installs the finished piece, checks that it's level, secure, and operating correctly (for gates, that includes hinges and latches), and walks you through the finished work before we leave. Any final touch-ups happen on the spot.

Cost depends on the size of the piece, the materials, and the design detail involved. A simple interior stair railing costs less than a full driveway gate with custom scrollwork. We provide a written cost estimate after our in-home consultation so you know the full cost before any welding starts.
Most custom stair railings or residential iron gates take two to four weeks from design approval to installation, since each piece is fabricated in our shop rather than pulled from stock. Larger projects, like a full fence and gate package, can take longer depending on scope.
We typically work with solid steel bar and forged wrought iron, chosen based on the style and location of the piece. Railings and gates installed outdoors get a powder coat or weather-resistant finish designed to hold up through Pacific Northwest rain and salt air near the Sound.
Yes. Interior iron railings for staircases, lofts, and open floor plans are one of our most requested residential services. We can match interior finishes to your home's existing hardware and trim.
