About
Modern Railings Built Right Here in Kent
Our shop and showroom are both in Kent, so a modern railing for a Kent property is built minutes from where it will be installed, and you are welcome to come and see the assembly on the shop floor before it ships.
We do this work for homes and for commercial spaces across the valley, where a glass or cable railing in a lobby or on a mezzanine has to look clean and take daily public use, which is a more demanding brief than a residential stair.
Everything is designed, welded, assembled, and finished under one roof, across glass, cable, and metal, with no travel charge on a local job.
Railing Types
Glass, Cable, or Metal
Three systems, all built in the Kent shop, for residential and commercial projects alike.
Glass Railings
Glass panels give the most open result, and in a commercial lobby or mezzanine they deliver a clean, high specification look while keeping sightlines across the space completely intact.
Cable Railings
Tensioned cable nearly disappears at a distance and asks for very little maintenance, a practical choice for a Kent home deck or a light industrial mezzanine.
Metal Bar and Panel Railings
Metal bar infill, run vertically or horizontally, and laser cut panels take daily contact better than either, which makes them the sensible specification for a commercial stair or a public facing balcony.
Where They Go
Modern Railings Inside and Out
We build for both settings, residential and commercial, across the whole city.
Interior Railings
Stairs, landings, and mezzanine edges take glass, cable, or metal in homes on East Hill and in commercial buildings across the valley, where the railing has to look clean and handle constant daily use.
Exterior Railings
Decks, balconies, and commercial frontages take the same systems outdoors, finished for the valley’s wet winters so a railing on a business entrance still looks deliberate several years in.
Materials
Powder Coated Metal, or Stainless and Glass
We stock, weld, and finish all of these here, and the choice differs between a home deck and a commercial stair.
Powder Coated Steel and Aluminum Railings
Powder coated steel and aluminum are the workhorses, with steel the right answer for a commercial run that takes daily contact and aluminum staying rust free with minimal upkeep on an exterior residential deck.
Stainless Steel and Glass Railings
Stainless steel and glass are the premium specification and the usual choice for a commercial lobby, holding a brushed finish through heavy public use where a powder coat would eventually show wear.
Neighborhoods

Architects and New Builds
Working With Kent Architects, Designers, and New Construction
We work with Kent builders, designers, and business owners from first drawing through installation, and because the shop is local you are welcome to come and see the system assembled before it goes out.
On new construction we coordinate directly with your builder around the stair and deck schedule, and being close enough to measure and adjust on short notice keeps the railing off the critical path.

Customer Reviews for Custom Railings WA
See What Our Customers Are Saying
Posted on Google Kristina G.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We're so thrilled with our new stair railings! Custom Railings WA and Mike's team did a high quality job from start to finish. We got the black powder coat finish with hemlock handrail in natural stain, which looks so elegant (see attached photos). The powder coat finish is really attractive, and we like that it's durable and not easily scratched. We were a little nervous that the wood color/characteristics on the top rail might turn out to be inconsistent across such a long run of railing, but the hand rails on all of the railings match beautifully. Thank you, Mike and team for taking such great care of us! Our new stairs are the perfect touch for our new farmhouse.Posted on Google Adele FesanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used this company for the second time, and this was our first time ordering railing for an outdoor deck. The service was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Communication was excellent, the team was easy to work with, and everything was completed exactly on schedule. The installation crew was highly professional, respectful, and left the area clean after completing the job. It was truly a pleasure working with a company that operates with such care and professionalism. The quality of the railing is top-notch — a very high-end product that exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again in the future.Posted on Google Leyla HasanovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We ordered glass railings for our parents’ home in Seattle. We were choosing between two options, glass or modern metal railings, and in the end we decided to go with glass. We’re extremely happy with that choice. The team helped us understand the differences, guided us through the design, and completed the installation on time. The railings look amazing. Great experience overall!Posted on Google Zamina BabayevaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first day, they were professional and easy to work with. Mike always replied quickly, and the team made sure every detail was just how I wanted. In the end, we got beautiful glass railings that fit perfectly with our modern home in Bellevue. Thank you, Custom Railings WA, for making the whole process smooth and enjoyable!Posted on Google J BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a good experience getting outdoor railings for my front concrete steps and for my stone steps in the back garden. I had put off doing this for so long and thought that railings might detract from the aesthetic look of my yard, but I was so wrong. I absolutely love my new railings, and loved working with all the guys who came out - to measure, to bend the metal and dig post holes, and finally to install the finished railings. Thank you!Posted on Google Jill SprattTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with Mike and his crew at Custom Railings WA. From design planning to installation they were knowledgeable, patient, helpful and professional.Posted on Google K CarrollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience. Could not be more thrilled with the work Custom Railings did. Start to finish top notch work, excellent communication, very professional crew, wish all companies operated with such integrity, truly a pleasure to work with!Posted on Google Hanaa Abou OufTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have beautiful new railings thanks to Custom Railings. Good communication, beautiful product, and they made sure everything was clean before they left. I will definitely use them again in the future!Posted on Google Cathy MooreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Custom Railings WA. They replaced our outdated railing with a new custom designed railing that fit our dreams and our budget. Communication was always clear and timely. They even worked around the chaotic schedule of other contractors working on our bigger remodeling project that impacted when the railing could be installed. Very Happy with our railing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a travel charge on a Kent job?
CustomRailingsWA2026-09-19T12:01:25-07:00No. The shop and showroom are both here in Kent, so local jobs carry no travel charge, and we can usually come out to measure quickly and return easily to adjust cable tension or fine tune anything after installation.
Which system takes daily commercial use best?
CustomRailingsWA2026-09-19T12:00:58-07:00Powder coated steel or stainless with metal infill takes contact best and is the usual specification for a commercial stair. Glass looks excellent in a lobby but shows fingerprints and needs regular cleaning in a public space. Cable is better suited to lighter traffic areas. We match the system to the actual use rather than the look alone.
Can I see the railing before it is installed?
CustomRailingsWA2026-09-19T12:00:16-07:00Yes, and on modern systems it is worth doing. Our shop and showroom are in Kent, so you can see finish samples, compare glass and cable hardware in person, and on your own project view the system assembled on the shop floor before it ships.
Do you build modern railings for commercial spaces?
CustomRailingsWA2026-09-19T11:59:49-07:00Yes, and it is a good part of the work in the Kent Valley. Glass and cable in a lobby, mezzanine, or stairwell give a clean high specification look, and we build them to take constant public use. Being local, we handle measurement, installation, and any later service quickly, with no travel charge on a Kent job.
