Metalwork for homes in Garneau
Century-old houses, many split into suites, share the blocks with walk-up apartments and newer infill.
Older homes often have original wrought-iron railings and gates that can be repaired and refinished rather than replaced, and front steps that need a sturdier handrail.
Rental houses need safe, solid stair and porch railings, and repairs are often quicker than replacement.
Modern infill designs often call for steel railings, canopies and gates made to measure.
Back-lane gates beside a detached garage are a common spot for a custom metal gate.
Separate suite entrances often need railings on outdoor stairs and landings.

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.
