Custom Red Iron Staircase & Railing Upgrade – Washington, DC
February 2026
For this Washington, DC renovation, Capitol Iron Works replaced a weather-worn and structurally compromised wooden staircase with a high-durability structural iron staircase. This upgrade was engineered to eliminate the maintenance and safety risks associated with aging wood, providing a rock-solid entrance solution that will last for decades. The new system features a spacious 3'x3' iron diamond plate landing and matching non-slip diamond plate steps for maximum traction and safety. The railings follow our high-quality standard design, utilizing 1-inch square posts, 1/2-inch square bar pickets, and a molded top bar with a supporting channel for a comfortable, secure grip. To satisfy the client’s unique aesthetic vision, the entire assembly was finished in a custom red paint, creating a striking focal point for the property.
