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.

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!
