Every building is different. Whether you’re working from plans or need something tailored to the site, Ferra provides steel stairs and railings that meet code, fit the layout, and hold up to daily use. From basic handrails to full stairways, we make sure what arrives is built with precision and ready to install. The difference between custom steel stairs and railings that go in smoothly and ones that cause headaches comes down to the quality of the engineering and fabrication behind it. We get that right from the start.
When you partner with Ferra for stairs and railings, you’re working with a team that understands both structural requirements and architectural expectations, as seen in our excellent structural steel. Stairs need to carry loads safely, meet building codes, and fit the space exactly. They also need to look right, whether that means clean industrial lines for a manufacturing facility or a more refined appearance for a public building. Balancing those demands takes experience and attention to detail, exactly what we bring to every project.
With CAD modeling and field measurements available, we help you get it right the first time. The result is a smoother install and fewer on-site adjustments. Our process begins with understanding your space and your requirements. If you have architectural drawings, we work from those. If the custom steel stairs and railings need to fit an existing space, we can visit the site to take measurements and account for any irregularities. That level of engineering and fabrication coordination ensures that when your stairs arrive, they land where they’re supposed to and fit without forcing.
Prefabricating stairs in our shop offers several advantages over field fabrication. We control the environment, which means better weld quality and finish application. We have the equipment to cut, form, and assemble accurately. And we can test fit components before they ship, catching any issues while they’re still easy to fix. Your crew gets a stair assembly that goes together quickly, saving time and labor on site.
We fabricate:
Beyond stairs, we fabricate railings for balconies, walkways, platforms, and mezzanines. Railings serve both safety and aesthetic functions. They need to meet code height and loading requirements while complementing the building’s design. We build railings in various styles, from simple pipe railings for industrial settings to more finished designs for commercial and public spaces.
Our protective finish options support aesthetics and long-term performance. Powder coating can be used for smaller items, and shotblasted and painted surfaces can provide durability and a clean look. The finish you choose affects both appearance and maintenance. Powder coating offers excellent durability and color consistency, ideal for railings and components that will be seen up close. Shotblasting followed by painting provides good protection at a practical cost, suitable for industrial applications where appearance matters less than durability.
We handle finishing in-house, which means we control the quality from start to finish. Surfaces are properly prepared, coatings are applied evenly, and components are handled carefully after finishing to avoid damage. When your stairs and railings arrive, they’re ready to install with the finish intact.
Our custom steel stairs and railings are designed for use in hardworking spaces, including:
Schools: Stairs and railings in schools see heavy daily traffic from students and staff. We build them to withstand that use while maintaining safety and appearance.
Churches: Often combining functional requirements with architectural detail, church stairs and railings need to fit the space and complement the design. We fabricate to match your vision.
Hotels: Guest safety and experience depend on well-built stairs and railings, both in public areas and service spaces. Our work meets those standards.
Public Buildings: Libraries, government offices, and community centers require stairs that meet code and serve the public reliably for decades.
Commercial Properties: Office buildings, retail spaces, and mixed-use developments all benefit from professionally fabricated stairs and railings that install smoothly and perform long term.
Manufacturing and Industrial Facilities: In these environments, stairs and railings need to be tough. Heavy gauge materials, secure connections, and durable finishes keep workers safe and facilities compliant.
We bring over 35 years of metal fabrication experience to every stair and railing project. That experience shows in the details: accurate stringer cuts, consistent tread spacing, proper railing heights, and strong connections. We also bring a practical understanding of how stairs get installed. We design with the erector in mind, providing components that assemble logically and fit as expected.
Our investment in custom steel stairs and railings tools like CAD modeling and robotic processing means we can handle complex geometries and repeatable production with equal skill. Whether your project calls for a single custom stairway or multiple sets of prefabricated stairs for a multi-story building, we have the capacity & manufacturing capabilities to deliver.
