01 / 02

Picket, cable, and custom railing systems.

Traditional steel and wrought iron picket railings suit most Hill Country homes and give the strongest sense of a finished, permanent build. Stainless cable railing keeps sightlines open, which is the right call when a deck looks out over a view worth keeping.

We fabricate railings to the exact rise, run, and angle of your deck or stairs, so the system fits the structure cleanly rather than being forced to standard panel sizes.

02 / 02

Steel stairs and handrails that pass inspection.

Hill Country lots change grade fast, and a lot of outdoor living projects come down to getting people safely between levels. We fabricate steel stair stringers that handle real spans and loads, with consistent rise and run so every step feels the same underfoot.

Railing height, baluster spacing, and graspable handrail profiles are not optional details. We build to current IRC and Texas code so the work passes inspection and, more importantly, keeps your family safe.

How we work

Four predictable steps. Same for every project.

  • 1

    Consultation

    We meet at your home, walk the backyard, and listen to how you actually want to use the space. A real conversation about the project, with no pressure and no hard sell.

  • 2

    Design and scope planning

    We sketch the layout in place, talk through structure and elevation, and define a clear written scope so everyone knows exactly what is being built.

  • 3

    Material selections

    We bring real material samples to your home and compare them in your own light. Composite versus cedar, roof options, railings, and finishes, chosen with you, not guessed.

  • 4

    HOA and permit coordination

    When your project needs HOA approval or a city permit, we prepare the submission package and handle the back-and-forth so you are not chasing paperwork.

  • 5

    Build and progress updates

    A tight, trusted crew builds the project on a written schedule. You get regular progress updates, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.

  • 6

    Final walkthrough

    We walk the finished project with you, complete a punch list together, and hand over every manufacturer warranty registered in your name.
