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.

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!
