Railings &Metal Fabrication

Custom metal railings, ornamental ironwork, gates and welded repairs fabricated in the Expert Fence shop in Alexandria and installed across DC, MD and VA.

What we provide

Railings & Metal Fabrication

Expert Fence runs its own welding and fabrication shop at our yard in Alexandria. That is what lets us build railings, gates and ornamental work to exact measurements instead of forcing a stock part to fit.

We fabricate and install exterior railings for steps, porches and walls, ornamental ironwork, custom gates and post caps, and we repair and bring existing railings up to code.

Common questions

Railings & Fabrication FAQ

No. We fabricate railings, gates and ornamental work as standalone projects, and contractors can order custom fabrication from our shop.

Usually. Bring photos and measurements, or we can measure on site, and we will reproduce the profile as closely as possible.

Cut-to-length and custom-fabricated items are made to order and are final sale.

Often. Loose anchors, cracked welds and rusted bases are usually repairable, and we document code corrections for your inspector.
