The perfect solution. We have
The perfect solution. We have a small home with a wood deck and a box step leading up to our door.

My adult son and daughter-in-law
My adult son and daughter-in-law purchased an older home that needed the front steps redone. We had to cut off the old wrought iron handrails and cover the old concrete with blue stone. I found DIY on line, called him for advice, and he nailed it! He shipped exactly what worked and it was easy… read more “My adult son and daughter-in-law”

The railing was there for him to grab
In the years we have resided in our current home, there was never a thought that we might need a handrail to our front porch entrance. However prior to the onset of Winter, we decided to add a short DIY handrail, mainly for appearance purposes. On Thanksgiving day, a friend arrived and began to climb… read more “The railing was there for him to grab”

Beautifully made hand rails, very
Beautifully made hand rails, very professionally finished and exactly as advertised. (I’ve seen Asian versions, which made me sick to my stomach, so I’m delighted these are so well made.)
The supports are hollow but very sturdy, and nicely heavy, nevertheless I turned them over and filled them with mason’s cement before installing them!… read more “Beautifully made hand rails, very”

These are very well made
These are very well made handrails. They are real easy to install I would recommend renting or buying a hammer drill though. Joe was a real help in me getting the correct handrails. I definitely recommend this company

Your product was the perfect
Your product was the perfect solution to reduce the risk for myself and guests entering my backyard from the study. I had just installed pavers and covered the steps.

Here is the new handrail.
Here is the new handrail. Used threaded rods in epoxy and that held better than the screws. Look very nice now as you can see. Best to rent a large hammer drill.

Product, and especially the customer
Product, and especially the customer service was second to none. A sketchup model was drawn up especially for my field measurements and confirmed the products would fit as intended. During shipping a piece went missing or was not sent, however upon asking, a replacement arrived the next day. Installation went as planned without issue. Great… read more “Product, and especially the customer”

Stairs are now safe to use. I have been procrastinating for a long time because I thought it would be difficult. I was very surprised how easy the installation was. The kit contained everything I needed for installation which took all the guesswork out of it.
Great product at reasonable price.

Love the look. Very sturdy, well made.
Needed to buy a few more drill bits for the hard concrete but other than that installation went well. I installed on the out side of the steps, to get maximum width which I am very glad I did.

I needed a rail to qualify for my home insurance plan. My neighbor recommended a cheap fix by way of black pipe used for industrial uses. I opted for something that was more appealing and could be a permanent solution, hence, I discovered Fortin Ironworks. They were easy to install and look great.
