How do you ensure a perfect fit on custom railings?

NW Iron Works uses a Trimble X9 3D laser scanner to take precise measurements of your space before fabrication begins. This eliminates guesswork and ensures every railing, staircase, or gate fits perfectly on installation day — no adjustments needed.

What types of railings does NW Iron Works fabricate?

We build stair railings, cable railings, glass railings, curved railings, exterior railings, grab rails, gates, fencing, floating staircases, and residential structural steel — all custom fabricated in our Vancouver WA shop.

How long does a custom railing project take?

Most residential railing projects take 3–6 weeks from signed contract to installation, depending on complexity and current shop schedule. Our 3D scanning process reduces revision time significantly.

Is NW Iron Works licensed and insured?

Yes. NW Iron Works, Inc. is a fully licensed and insured metal fabrication contractor operating in Washington and Oregon since 1999.

What is 3D scanning and why does NW Iron Works use it?

3D laser scanning uses a Trimble X9 scanner to capture exact measurements of a space in minutes, creating a precise digital model. NW Iron Works uses this technology to eliminate measurement errors, reduce site visits, and ensure custom railings and staircases fit perfectly the first time — something most fabricators in the Pacific Northwest do not offer.
