Metal shops in Fairfax to fix wrought iron railing?
Posted by: Seeking metal shop ()
Date: November 07, 2009 11:23AM

I've got a short ~4feet handrail that's on the four steps up to my front stoop, and a little while ago the whole thing just fell down as it rusted through at the base. The rest of the handrail is fine with no rust, just at the ends of the top and bottom posts. I'm thinking someone could just remove the top and bottom posts and replace them with new 1" square posts. Problem is I can't seem to find any small metal shops in Fairfax, all the ones I have found are big commercial companies assembling steel buildings or such huge projects.

Does anyone know of a small metal fab somewhere in Fairfax (hopefully central, Fairfax City/Burke/Springfield area)? Thanks!

I think NEO Welding does small jobs.

If you are willing to hike to Manassas, there is a place off Rt 28 South (Rodeo Welding?) near Yorkshire that does wrought iron repair.

If the bottom post rusted and broke off at the concrete stoop, you can buy based that attach to the concrete and the posts sit in them. I replaced mine a few years ago, and it's an easy job that can be done in a few hours.

The top of my rail is in pretty good shape, I took it down to the metal with a wire brush and refinished it. I have to refresh the paint every couple years to keep the rust in check.

Fully Second the "Reliable Rails" suggestion. They worked over the phone to determine where I needed rails and what style, promptly came on site for a free quote and performed the work within days of accepting the quote. The work was a quality job with the little touches represenative of pride in work. If you need rail work done give Bina a call. She'll get lawrence or someone out quickly to get your situation evalutaed and taken care of. Great company.
