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.

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!
