A client in DE had bought an abandoned home and we revitalized the interiors to bring this unique home up to the latest design trends.The stair handrail was quite dated, and had serious code compliance issues. Please see the before and after slide show above.

They reviewed numerous stair railing designs, and requested us to guide them on a railing design appearance in keeping with their decor direction.

Based on our interaction with the design community, we determined that a “transitional” railing design would probably be best suited to their design style. This transitional railing design utilized the traditional visual of an elongated oval with an intermediate iron picket.

They were thrilled with this iron stair railing design, and we custom created the entire scope of level railing and stair railing for their entry foyer. When it was all done the entry foyer stair railing made a fantastic first impression for any guest that entered the house. And with the contemporary cap rail and trendy finish, they can enjoy the iron railing of this amazing Delaware home for many years.

Mr. Amos Glick and staff at Compass Ironworks built and provided me with a customized automatic gate. From the very beginning of the project, they were passionate and attentive to my family’s special needs. Their skill and care in every detail of the gate, size, style, material and color, matching our landscape, was well thought out and well crafted. They were able to also give the exact various automation modes my family had requested.
 
I am very much satisfied with the superb work done and would recommend Compass Ironworks whole heartily to anyone seeking personalized care and excellent workmanship.

We had a railing, designed, created, and installed by Compass Ironworks. Amos and Aaron were extremely professional. They kept us informed of how things were progressing. We even visited the shop when the railing was almost complete. We HIGHLY recommend Compass Ironworks! We have had several people knock on our door to ask about who made our beautiful railing. Thank you for your hard work!

I have been meaning to call you about all the wonderful details of our railing. First of all, it’s beautiful. It is made exactly like we wanted, and it is sturdy just the way we wanted. Ben, Alvin, and John were right on the ball. They knew what they were doing. They were in and out of there, but still took the time necessary to do what they needed to do. And it looks beautiful! My wife came home and she had tears in her eyes and she was all tickled, and that was wonderful. We’re going to recommend you to all our friends, family, and neighbors. We’ll definitely give you a call. Feel free to use me as a reference. I will recommend you to anyone I know or meet. Thank you, Sir and have a good day.
