Railings are everywhere - stairs, balconies, porches, decks, and walkways. They keep you safe, define your space, and contribute to your property's appearance. But railings face constant exposure to sun, rain, hand contact, and temperature swings. Paint chips, rust forms, and what was once an attractive safety feature becomes an eyesore and a maintenance headache. Powder coating is the permanent solution.

Railings experience unique stresses:

Why Powder Coat Railings

The Railing Environment

Cost Comparison

Powder coating costs less per year while delivering superior appearance and protection.

Railing Types We Coat

Stair Railings

Interior and exterior stair railings in wrought iron, steel, or aluminum. Our process ensures complete coverage on all surfaces including undersides and backsides that are hard to reach with paint.

Balcony and Deck Railings

Exposed balcony railings face the worst conditions. Our UV-stable, weatherproof coatings keep them looking new despite constant sun and rain.

Porch and Patio Railings

Classic porch railings add character to your home. We restore vintage wrought iron and refresh modern systems with finishes that complement your architecture.

Commercial and Municipal Railings

• ADA-compliant handrails
• Guardrails for public buildings
• Bridge and walkway railings
• Parking structure railings
• Stadium and arena railings

Cable and Glass Railings

Even modern cable and glass railing systems have metal posts, frames, and hardware that need protection. We coat these components to match or contrast with the overall design.

Railing Materials

Code Compliance

Railings must meet building code requirements for height, strength, and spacing. Our coating process does not alter code-compliant dimensions, and we can verify that existing railings meet current codes before coating.

Key Code Considerations

• Height: 36" minimum for residential, 42" for commercial
• Grip size: 1.25" to 2" diameter for handrails
• Spacing: less than 4" between balusters
• Load: 200 lb concentrated load capacity

We evaluate your railings for structural integrity, code compliance, and coating condition. We provide a detailed quote.

Step 2: Removal or On-Site Preparation

Railings can be removed and brought to our shop, or in some cases coated on-site. Removal provides the best results.

Step 3: Complete Strip

Old paint, rust, and contaminants are removed by media blasting or chemical stripping.

Step 4: Repair

Broken welds, bent balusters, and damaged sections are repaired or replaced.

Step 5: Pretreatment

Metal is cleaned and treated for maximum adhesion and corrosion resistance.

Step 6: Powder Application

Powder is applied for complete coverage on all surfaces.

Step 7: Curing

Railings are cured in a controlled oven.

Step 8: Reinstallation

We reinstall coated railings, ensuring proper code compliance and secure attachment.
