Yes, and it is some of our favorite work.

For the Victorian and craftsman homes around the Capitol we can work from photographs or surviving pieces to match a historic pattern closely, echo ironwork elsewhere in the house, or design something new that is faithful to the period.

Yes, and it is some of our most common work in Tacoma. Older commercial and residential buildings have stairs and entries that predate current standards and do not always have framing where a handrail needs to anchor.
