Not every job is an ornate railing. Plenty of St. Louis steps, from the side door to the garage to the two steps up to the porch, never had a handrail at all. A single iron or steel handrail is often the quickest safety upgrade on a house, and a common request when someone in the family is getting less steady.
What people call about
- Two or three steps with nothing to hold
- A handrail on one side only, on wide steps
- Wall-mounted handrail pulled out of the brick
- Grab rail for a side or back door
- Rail that's too thick or too low to grip well
- Railing for a ramp or landing
Repair, rebuild or replace
A single pipe or square-bar handrail, post- or wall-mounted.
Add a matching rail to the other side of wide steps.
A handrail styled to match an existing iron railing.
What the pro will want to know
- How many steps, and where (front, side, garage, back)?
- Mount to the steps, the wall, or both?
- Who will use it most, and is it needed soon?
- Paint color, if you care (most are black)
Questions
Is a handrail a quick job?
Simple handrails are usually among the smaller railing jobs, but most are still made to measure. The pro will tell you their timing when they call.
Can it be mounted to brick?
Yes, wall mounts into brick or block are common. The pro will check that the brick and mortar are sound enough to hold it.
