From Staircases to Cellar Doors: 6 Ironwork Solutions That Elevate Any Property

When it comes to enhancing both the safety and aesthetics of a property, custom ironwork is a game changer. At Forrester Fence, our Ironworks Division specializes in fabrication, installation, and repair services that blend craftsmanship with durability. Whether you're managing a residential building, upgrading a commercial space, or restoring a historic property, high-quality ironwork adds lasting value and curb appeal.

Here are six ironwork solutions we offer that can elevate any property—both functionally and visually:

1. Custom Staircases

A well-designed metal staircase is more than just a means of access—it’s a statement piece. Whether it’s an exterior fire stair or an ornate interior feature, we fabricate staircases that are:

Built to code for safety
Engineered for strength and longevity
Customizable in design, shape, and finish

From straight-run to spiral, our staircases are crafted to blend seamlessly with your building’s style while providing dependable access.

2. Fire Escapes

In NYC, fire escapes are essential for safety and code compliance—but that doesn’t mean they have to be an eyesore. Our team fabricates and installs fire escapes that are:

Structurally sound and DOB-compliant
Designed with clean, practical lines
Primed and painted to withstand the elements

We also handle fire escape repairs, rust removal, and safety inspections to keep your building up to standard.

3. Railings (Interior & Exterior)

From stoops to rooftops, we provide custom iron railings that offer both safety and elegance. Choose from:

Simple and modern guardrails
Ornamental designs with scrollwork and decorative elements
ADA-compliant handrails for commercial applications

Whether you need a sturdy security railing or a decorative balcony feature, our Ironworks Division delivers quality that lasts.

4. Cellar Doors

Secure your basement access with a custom cellar door designed for both durability and weather protection. Our doors are:

Made to fit each opening precisely
Welded for strength and tamper resistance
Finished with rust-resistant coatings for longevity

We also offer replacement and repair services to upgrade old or damaged basement doors quickly and efficiently.

5. Window Guards

Protecting your property doesn’t mean sacrificing style. Our custom window guards are:

Built to code and available in child-safe designs
Available in both security-focused and ornamental styles
Primed and painted to match your building’s exterior

Ideal for residential buildings, schools, and ground-level businesses.

6. Tree Guards

A small detail that makes a big difference—tree guards not only protect valuable landscaping in urban environments but also elevate sidewalk aesthetics. We fabricate sturdy, attractive tree guards that:

Shield young trees from foot traffic and vehicle damage
Enhance the appearance of your property frontage
Can be customized with logos or decorative motifs

Perfect for city blocks, multi-family properties, and storefronts.
