Metalwork for homes in Forest Heights
Mid-century bungalows with mature yards make up most of the area, some on the slopes above the valley.
Mid-century homes often have steel railings on front steps that are rusting at the base, so welding repairs or new aluminum railings are common.
Sloped yards near the valley often need solid railings on outdoor stairs and retaining walls.
Back-lane gates beside a detached garage are a common spot for a custom metal gate.
Open stairs in a finished basement can get a modern metal railing.

Seasonal tip for Edmonton
Outdoor railing installs are easiest from spring to fall. Road salt and freeze-thaw cycles are hard on metal, so spring is a good time to check railings and gates for rust.
