Custom Handrails That Elevate Every Entrance
We design and build custom handrails that do more than guide the way. They add character, improve safety, and create a polished finish for entryways, walkways, porches, and interior spaces. Our team works with homeowners, builders, and property managers to create custom railings that fit the architecture, flow, and purpose of each project. Whether you want a simple modern profile or a more decorative metal design, we fabricate with care and install with precision. Across the Pacific Northwest, our custom handrails are trusted for their durability, clean fit, and long-term performance in both residential and commercial settings.

Driveway & Automatic Gates With Lasting Appeal
Our driveway and automatic gates bring together security, convenience, and standout curb appeal in one smart solution. We fabricate gates that are built for daily use while still making a strong visual statement at homes, businesses, and private properties. From sliding systems to swing gates, we tailor each build to suit the layout, access needs, and style of the site. We also coordinate metal details so gates complement surrounding custom railings, fencing, and architectural features. With decades of hands-on experience, we create gate systems that are dependable, attractive, and made to handle the demands of real-world use year after year.

Custom Canopies & Awnings for Shelter and Style
Make your entrances and outdoor areas more welcoming with custom metal canopies and awnings. North 2 South Ironwork fabricates and installs steel structures for homes and commercial properties, providing shelter over entryways, walkways, patios, and storefronts. Each project is tailored to the dimensions and layout of your space, with flat, sloped, or curved designs that complement the building’s architecture. Choose painted finishes or powder coating that coordinates with existing railings, gates, and other metalwork. Whether you want to cover a front doorway or improve a commercial entrance, we bring the framing, finish, and installation together around your project’s needs. Share your ideas, photos, and dimensions with us to discuss a canopy or awning that fits your property.
Custom Metal Fabrication for Bold Functional Design
When a project calls for something beyond off-the-shelf parts, our custom metal fabrication team is ready to build it. We create one-of-a-kind components and finished pieces for residential and commercial properties, including balconies, awnings, stair systems, support elements, and detailed custom railings. Our process focuses on accuracy, usability, and strong visual integration with the rest of the structure. We understand how to turn an idea, sketch, or design reference into fabricated metalwork that performs well and looks intentional. From decorative accents to essential structural pieces, we deliver metal fabrication that is tailored, practical, and made to stand out for the right reasons.
Stair & Deck Railings Made for Daily Life
Stair and deck railings should feel secure, fit the space naturally, and add to the overall experience of using the area every day. We build custom railings for interior stairs, exterior steps, elevated decks, and landings with designs that suit both the structure and the people who use it. Some clients want sleek lines and minimal detailing, while others prefer more decorative metalwork that adds visual depth. Either way, we focus on thoughtful fabrication and proper installation, so the railings look right and perform well. Our stair and deck railings are built to handle frequent use while maintaining a strong, finished appearance.
Custom Structural Steel for Strength and Stability
Build with structural steel fabricated to fit your project’s plans and specifications. North 2 South Ironwork fabricates and installs steel beams, columns, framing, and support components for residential and commercial properties. From staircase and deck supports to platforms, additions, and new construction, we help bring the structural details of your project together. Our team works from drawings supplied by architects and engineers, with attention to dimensions, connection points, and how each piece fits into the overall structure. We focus on careful fabrication in the workshop and coordinated installation on site, whether the job calls for a single support beam or a larger custom assembly. Share your plans with us to discuss your project’s requirements and next steps.
Custom Ornamental Ironwork That Adds Character
Bring distinctive details to your home or business with ornamental ironwork that complements your property’s architecture. North 2 South Ironwork designs and fabricates decorative railings, gates, fences, and metal accents, with options ranging from flowing scrollwork to custom patterns and decorative panels. Each piece is shaped around your preferred style, proportions, and finish, whether you want traditional detailing or a simpler, understated design. We can coordinate new ironwork with existing features and help restore worn pieces through repair and refinishing. Where the condition and design allow, ornamental details can also be added to existing railings and gates. Share photos of your property, sketches, or designs you like, and we’ll help you explore a design that fits your space.
Welding Services for Strong Connections and Reliable Repairs
Bring new metal projects together and repair existing components with welding services tailored to the job. North 2 South Ironwork provides welding for residential and commercial projects, including railings, steel frames, support structures, and custom metal pieces. We work with steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, selecting MIG or TIG welding to suit the material and application. From repairing a damaged connection to assembling a custom frame, our team focuses on careful preparation, accurate fit, and clean finishing for visible metalwork. Most welding is completed in our shop, with welding on site available when the project requires it. Share your photos, drawings, or repair details with us to discuss your needs and the next steps.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Customers Say…
T Dahlgren
We are very satisfied with the custom handrail
North 2 South Iron Work installed along a short
walkway between our driveway and the front
entry. The crew met our schedule, mounting
detail, and color selection requests. The
installation is effective and professional.
Cherry Snelling
We had Alan and his group install a sheet steel
guardrail around our hot tub. They gave us a clear
quote and we adjusted it after clarifying the scope
of work. They were easy to communicate with and
came back after forgetting one thing without any
hassle. I would used them again.
Holly Hauser
Absolutely stunning railing. North 2 South is
responsive, expert, professional and talented. My
yard is safer as I navigate my steps yet still
attractive and organic in appearance. I am thrilled
with the results and grateful to North 2 South.
