About
Ornamental Railings Built in Kent
Our shop and showroom are both in Kent, which means an ornamental commission for a Kent home is built a few minutes from where it will be installed. You can come and see the piece on the shop floor while it is being built.
We source high quality forged components, then handle everything else under one roof: design, welding, assembly, and finishing. The finishing work is never outsourced, and there is no travel charge on a local job.
We build across the whole range, from simple ornamental detail on a residential stair to fully hand painted luxury commissions, and we do the same work for Kent commercial interiors that want a genuine centerpiece.
Two Levels of Ornamental
Simple Ornamental or Luxury Ornamental
Two levels of ornamental work, both built and finished in the Kent shop.
Simple Ornamental Railings
Simple ornamental gives a clean railing character through selected details: forged collars, a decorative newel, or a scrolled panel. It suits most Kent homes and light commercial work where budget and impact have to balance.
Luxury Ornamental Railings
Luxury ornamental is a full commission, designed for the specific staircase with sculpted forged work and hand painted or gilded detail. It is what we build for a statement residential entry or a commercial lobby that needs a focal point.
Where They Go
Ornamental Railings for Homes and Businesses
Being a working metal shop in Kent, we take on ornamental work in both settings, residential and commercial.
Interior Railings
Residential staircases are the core of the work, where forged detail transforms the entry of an East Hill or valley home, and the same design runs along landings, mezzanines, and interior balcony rails in houses and commercial spaces alike.
Exterior Railings
Entry steps, porches, and commercial frontages take decorative detail outdoors, finished for the valley’s wet winters so a railing on a business entrance keeps looking deliberate year after year. We finish commercial exterior work to take daily contact as well as weather.

Materials
Steel and Aluminum, or Brass and Bronze
Two material routes, both stocked, welded, and finished here in the shop for residential and commercial work.
Steel and Aluminum Railings
Forged steel is the workhorse of the shop, with scrollwork, sculpted florals, and textured elements welded into a frame that stands up to the traffic a commercial stair sees. Ornamental aluminum stays rust free for exterior steps and frontages, keeping decorative character without heavy upkeep.
Brass and Bronze Accents Railings
Brass and bronze accents add warmth and richness against dark steel, used on collars, florals, and cap rails in both home and lobby settings. For a Kent commercial entrance they are an effective way to signal quality at the door without redesigning the whole railing.
Finishes
Powder Coating or Hand Painted Finishes
Both finishing routes happen here in the Kent shop, and you are welcome to come and see samples of each before deciding.
Powder Coat Finishes
Powder coating is the workhorse finish, even and hard wearing in any color, and the right specification for a commercial stair or an exterior run that takes weather and daily contact. Most of what leaves the shop is finished this way.
Hand Painted, Leaf, and Patina
Hand applied finishing is the commissioned option. Individual forged elements are brought up in color by hand, with gold leaf, silver leaf, or a rubbed patina over the detail. In a commercial lobby a gilded ornamental railing makes a genuinely memorable first impression.
Architects and New Builds
Working With Kent Architects, Designers, and New Construction
We work with Kent builders, designers, and business owners from first sketch to installation, and because the shop is local you are welcome to visit during fabrication and see the work in progress.
On new construction we coordinate directly with your builder around the stair schedule, and being close enough to measure and adjust on short notice keeps ornamental work from becoming a bottleneck.

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
What is the difference between the two ornamental levels?
CustomRailingsWA2026-09-10T03:16:38-07:00Simple ornamental keeps a clean structure and adds character through selected forged details. Luxury ornamental is designed specifically for your staircase, with sculpted forged work and hand painted or gilded finishing applied element by element. Both are made here in Kent; the luxury tier involves substantially more design and hand work.
Is there a travel charge for Kent jobs?
CustomRailingsWA2026-09-10T03:16:03-07:00No. 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 if anything needs fine tuning after installation.
Do you build ornamental railings for commercial spaces?
CustomRailingsWA2026-09-10T03:15:37-07:00Yes. A forged ornamental railing in a lobby, restaurant, or retail stair makes a strong first impression, and we build them to take commercial traffic. Being local to Kent, we handle measurement, installation, and any later service quickly, with no travel charge on a Kent job.
Can I visit the shop and see the work being made?
CustomRailingsWA2026-09-10T03:15:09-07:00Yes, and we encourage it on ornamental commissions. Our shop and showroom are in Kent, so you can come and see sample components, look at finish options in person, and on your own project see the piece on the shop floor during fabrication and hand finishing.
