Toronto railings service

A Toronto family called us about exterior railings after their large, beautiful brick home was gutted by a fire. Thankfully, the family had been away at the time of the fire, but they were devastated by their loss, and wondered how they would ever come back from it. After affirming that the house was still structurally sound, they opted to return their home to its former glory, and they needed several types of railings to complete the project, including three different exterior railings. Working from a handful of family photos that had miraculously survived the blaze, we were able to provide comparable styles and materials for their various needs.

Many Different Jobs for exterior Railings

This large, stately home had a spacious entry area with a balcony looking down from the master bedroom. The other side of the master suite led out onto a terrace above the garage. And, at the top of the home’s sweeping staircase, an open walkway led to the various sleeping quarters.
Besides exterior railings, the reconstruction included wooden railings for the grand staircase, and new wrought iron railings on the terrace. The family also needed new rails for the basement stairs and felt that something simple and durable would be fine.
When all was said and done, Toronto Railings provided wrought iron railings, wooden railings and, for the basement stairs, a set of durable, eco-friendly composite railings, which are made from recycled plastics.. The family was delighted with the selection and styles we had to choose from and were grateful for all we did to help them get their lives back to normal.
At Toronto Railings, we know most people won’t require this level of service, or need so many different kinds of railing for their project. But no matter how big or small your job is, we are ready to handle it.

Recently, we had the chance to meet a Toronto contractor who needed wood railings for a very unique project. This gentleman specialized in what he called “recreational construction.” He explained that he built backyard play structures for children and grown-ups alike. His most popular projects were wooden “forts” that incorporated swings, monkey bars, and upper floors with slides and swinging bridges. He had been approached by a family that wanted him to build a very sophisticated tree house that the whole family could enjoy.

Wood Railings is great for your Toronto backyard

This contractor had spent many years doing outdoor construction of almost every kind. Decks, pavilions, gazebos, and playhouses were all pretty common for him, but when he was asked to build a tree house of mammoth proportions, he simply couldn’t pass it up. The structure this family had in mind would occupy a large space between two huge old oak trees in their backyard, with a rope bridge leading to a smaller, free standing structure, similar to the playhouses he more frequently built. With such an involved project on his plate, he came to us for the various types of wood railings necessary to complete the job.
We showed him our selection of woods and styles, discussed the different advantages of the various materials, and answered his questions about durability and price. Finally, he decided that wood railings made from cedar would be the best choice.

Nothing excites a craftsman as much as knowing that his work is appreciated. For us, here at Toronto Railings, we are always thrilled to see our wood railings used in interesting new ways. We know that most people probably won’t need our railings for a tree house, but rest assured. No matter what your project calls for, when you need wood railings, give us a call. We are ready to serve you.

Not long ago, we got a call from a Toronto property developer who had questions about steel railings for a new apartment complex. When completed, this new property would consist of nearly 500 units – a big job. The developers needed a variety of steel railings for the exterior stairways and upper floors of each unit. They wanted quality materials that would be durable and economical. Plus, since these would be stylish, high-end apartments, their steel railings needed to look great. We took the time to show the developer what we had available, and he found a style that suited his needs perfectly.

Stylish Steel Railings Add Class

Apartment complexes have very specific requirements when it comes to railings. One of a property developer’s biggest concerns is liability, since they have to consider the safety of their tenants and anyone else that happens to be on the property. Stairs, balconies, and upstairs walkways have to be safe, with no room for compromise. Since this developer had 70 individual buildings on the drawing board, he had enough on his mind without worrying about staircase and balcony railings. We assured him that the steel railings we provided would cover his safety concerns, and add that touch of class he needed for these sophisticated living spaces.
At Toronto Railings, we are used to big jobs. And with many styles and materials at our disposal, we have whatever the job calls for. Whether the application is inside or outside, upstairs or down, we can provide several options that are stylish, durable, and above all else, safe.
