A builder and client in New Jersey were upgrading a basement space and were searching for a glass wall to create a barrier to control temperature and humidity for the best wine presentation. And at the same time allow colleagues and visitors to the space the opportunity to view the extensive wine collection.

We were approached by the builder last July and while not in our typical realm of building iron gate, privacy fence, stair railing, or modern staircases, our experience in iron railing design was an attribute in obtaining the project.

The entire structure was designed in aircraft grade aluminum, similar to deck railing on shore homes. The intention was a non-corrosive material that could be assembled on-site with counter sunk/hidden fasteners. All of the glass edges were sealed and the installation fulfilled their design vision of an industrial look similar to old factory windows from a century ago. And with the glass wall built around a corner, visitors can now view this beautiful private wine collection from more angles, in this New Jersey home.

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!
