Straight staircases and space-saving spiral stairs made in iron and steel that link one level to the next, giving you a solid climb built to fit the exact space you have.
Steady Steps Between Every Level
Worn wooden steps that flex underfoot, an exterior stair that has started to rust through, or a loft reached only by a ladder are all signs a property needs a better way up. In tight spots like basements, mezzanines and rooftop access, a standard straight run often takes up more floor than the room can spare. Iron and steel solve both problems, because a metal stair stays rigid under heavy traffic and can be shaped to fit spaces where wood would struggle. A new staircase or a compact spiral stair gives you safe, solid access while freeing up the room around it.
Stairs leave little room for error, since uneven rise heights or a tread that is slightly too shallow can make people trip even when the stair looks fine. Spiral stairs add more complexity, because the center column, the tread angles and the landing all have to line up so the climb feels natural instead of cramped. At DC Iron & Metal Works, the floor-to-floor height and the opening get measured before any steel is cut, and each tread and riser is sized so the steps stay consistent from bottom to top. Welds at the stringers and column carry the full weight of everyone who uses the stair, which is why they need to be solid and clean rather than simply tacked together.
Twenty-five years of experience with iron and steel have shown us how a stair holds up after thousands of trips up and down, not just on the day it goes in. That experience guides choices you might never notice, like how thick a tread plate should be or where an exterior stair needs extra protection against standing water. We build straight staircases for porches, decks and building entrances as well as spiral stairs for interiors where space is tight. Either way, you get a stair made to your exact measurements that feels firm with every step.
