A client was building a custom home at the shore in New Jersey and wanted a beautiful wrought iron railing design. With dialog from us, the decision was made to utilize aircraft grade aluminum and replicate a house railing design from Italy.

This railing design had overlapping scrolls that created a heart and diamond pattern, cascading into a round knuckle on a round picket. All the railing scrolls were forged by hand, the knuckles were created from solid aluminum for this spectacular stair railing.

The home was designed in the mindset of an Italian villa and had radius front railing steps. There were numerous balcony, terrace, and stairs that required railing for code compliance. The most significant challenge was maintaining the visual harmony in the design for the stair railing.

The entire railing system was powder-coated with a special process to resist the harsh elements at the shore. These clients will have an exceptional NJ shore home that they can relax in and appreciate for years to come.

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!
