A couple in Baltimore MD were building a custom home. The had a beautiful terrace on the back of the house. And beautiful stairs leading down to the pool level.

Their desire was for a durable iron railing design that would require zero maintenance. We created all of the terrace railing, stair railing, and the pool railing in an aircraft grade aluminum alloy that would be durable, and would never corrode. And at the same time, be visually indistinguishable from iron. We also created a curved, custom railing for the seating area.

One of the unique features of this project was that we attached our stair railing and deck railing to the masonry pillar structure. This required close collaboration with the mason. When he had the main inside structure built, we then measured for the custom railing, completely fabricated and installed the railing. He then did his finish stone and mortar around our attachment, which provided a clean and attractive appearance as there were no fasteners or brackets exposed that was securing these deck railings and stair railings.

These MD clients were thrilled with the finished wrought iron railing product and will be able to realize years of enjoyment with their outdoor living space.

Thanks to the Compass team. The original work that was done 12 years ago still looks great. Unfortunately, we had to remove the railings to install new pillars this year due to weather related issues with the stones. Compass removed the rails and reinstalled them after the repairs were done. All looks beautiful again.

We were thrilled to work with Compass again on our back porch project! The end result is gorgeous and the process was seem less. In a time characterized by delays, labor shortages and supply chain issues, Compass exceeded our expectations by providing a beautiful product and outstanding service in a timely manner. We look forward to working with Compass again in the future on all our metalwork needs.

Thank you so much again for your help!

Compass was very flexible when we changed our design. Quality was so wonderful, and unexpected.
We would never go to anyone else.

Amos, your team exceeded extremely high expectations. The stairs are the heart and soul of the house, and as the main focal point are a treasure to the owners and architect. Every visit is followed by “come see the stairs”. I know how challenging it was to build and install this masterpiece, having worked as a builder for 50 plus years, and admire how your crew stayed positive and focused throughout. I can’t wait for the next one!
