Arlington is a dense mix of apartment buildings, rowhouses and detached homes on tight lots, so ironwork often has to perform in limited space. Multi-story buildings need fire escapes that are sound and secure, while ground-level units and basement apartments benefit from window bars and security doors. Compact homes and condos frequently turn to spiral stairs to reach a loft, roof deck or lower level without giving up floor area. We build metalwork that fits close quarters and stands up to the daily use of a busy, built-up community.
In Arlington, we often start with fire escapes, I-beam installation and structural steel for multi-story and mixed-use buildings. At DC Iron & Metal Works, we also build spiral stairs, straight staircases and handrails that make the most of tight floor plans. Window bars and steel security doors protect ground-floor units, while metal fences, driveway gates and tree guards finish the outside of homes with yard space. Our repair and iron welding service keeps existing railings, gates and stairs safe and sturdy for years to come.
Projects in Washington, DC rarely look alike, and our work stretches from a single decorative handrail all the way up to I-beams and full fire escapes. That range lets a property owner bring a stoop railing, a security door and a structural question to one shop instead of juggling several trades. With 25 years of experience behind us, we understand how iron and steel behave under heavy use and changing weather. At DC Iron & Metal Works, we handle each of those jobs with the same hands-on approach, whether the piece is ornamental or load-bearing.
