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.

We love our front porch railings! They certainly add a lot of beauty to our home and they fit the period of our home. When elderly guests come to visit, it’s always good that they have something strong to hold onto, and they fit perfectly what we were looking for. Thanks to everyone on your team for their artistic work. We are very happy with our final products!

Compass delivered absolutely amazing, high quality product. They are true masters.  I am also pleased with their timely communication and guidance, as we worked through the design and transaction process. 

I would definitely recommend them and work with them again.

What an excellent experience we had with Compass Ironworks!! We have spent four years restoring and remodeling a Pre-Civil War home in North Alabama. We have learned a lot through the process and made more than a few mistakes. But choosing Compass Ironworks was not one of those. From the very first interaction, Amos and his team have been a pleasure to work with. Old homes are quirky! No right angles. No two measurements are precisely the same. So using a company in Pennsylvania was a risk. And we are SO GLAD we took that risk! Absolutely flawless!! The designs, the collaboration, the execution, the QUALITY, the timeline and the finished product were all first class!!! We will absolutely choose Compass again for our next project and recommend them to anyone who asks.

The railing is installed and is beautiful … a work of art, to be sure!

My expectations were high and certainly met. I was able to visit the shop and see the railing in progress. It was a thrill to see it then, and very exciting when it arrived at my home.

I have already recommended you to others!
