Questions and Answers
What types of metal do you work with for custom railings?
We work with wrought iron, steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. For railings, we commonly use steel and wrought iron because they offer strength and a classic look. We can also combine these with glass or wood inserts to match your home's style.
How do your railings hold up during Rathdrum's cold, snowy winters?
Our railings are designed to handle harsh winters. We use heavy-gauge materials and apply weather-resistant finishes that prevent rust and corrosion. Proper installation also ensures they remain stable under snow loads. We've been serving Rathdrum for over 20 years, so we know what works in this climate.
Can you repair welded items like boat trailers or aluminum frames?
Yes, we offer welding repair services for aluminum, steel, and stainless steel, including boats, trailers, and furniture. Scott has decades of experience and can handle both structural repairs and custom modifications. Just bring your item to our shop, and we'll assess it.
