Custom Wrought Iron Railings in the South Sound
Wrought Iron Railings
Bare Ornamental Iron LLC designs, fabricates, and installs custom wrought iron railings for staircases, porches, and balconies across Tacoma and the South Sound.
Wrought Iron Railing Craftsmanship You Can See and Feel
Wrought iron railings span a broad range of design options, from a simple, clean pipe rail to an elaborate pattern of hand-forged scrollwork. Whatever direction you're leaning, our team starts with a conversation about how you use the space and what look fits your home.
Every piece of custom railing fabrication happens in our Tacoma shop, where we cut, weld, and finish each section by hand before it ever reaches your property. We work in solid steel and wrought iron stock chosen for strength, then prime and coat every railing to stand up to Puget Sound rain and salt air.
Whether you need interior iron railings for a hardwood staircase or exterior iron railings for a deck facing the water, the fabrication process stays the same: measured to your space, built to code, and finished so it looks right at home. Every railing is installed to hold up to Pacific Northwest weather for decades.

Bare Ornamental Iron LLC builds railings for nearly any spot in your home where a rail is needed for safety, code, or style. If you've seen a look you like elsewhere, bring us a photo and we'll draw up a plan to match it.

Common Questions
Common Railing Questions From South Sound Homeowners
01 How much does a custom wrought iron railing cost?
Cost depends on the length of the railing, the level of detail in the design, and whether it's for interior or exterior use. We provide a written quote after measuring your space and reviewing your design preferences.
02 How long does iron railing installation take?
Most residential railing projects take two to four weeks from approved design to installation, since each piece is fabricated by hand in our shop rather than pulled from stock.
03 Will my railing hold up to Pacific Northwest weather?
Yes. We prime and coat every exterior iron railing to resist rust, moisture, and the salt air common near Puget Sound, and we can recommend maintenance to keep the finish looking sharp for years.
04 Can you match an existing railing style or a photo I found online?
Absolutely. Bring us a photo of a railing you like, whether it's from another property or found online, and we'll sketch a design and pricing plan to match that look for your staircase, porch, or balcony.
