Eco-Friendly Iron Staircase Replacement with Railing Retrofit – Washington, DC

February 2026

Here at Capitol Iron Works, we look for ways to save our customers money without sacrificing safety. This project involved replacing a worn and outdated iron staircase that had become a structural liability. While the stairs were failing, the existing railings were still in excellent condition. We recommended a cost-effective retrofit solution: fabricating a brand-new structural base while salvaging and re-integrating the original iron railings. We custom-fabricated a new iron diamond plate landing and staircase for maximum durability and slip resistance. Our team then carefully removed the existing railings from the old structure and precision-welded them onto the new frame. This entire "demo and install" process was completed in just one day, ensuring the homeowner had safe, immediate access to their property by evening. Technical Highlights: Sustainable Solution: Retrofitted existing high-quality railings onto a new structural base to reduce material waste and costs. Materials: New heavy-duty iron diamond plate landing and treads for long-term traction. Finish: Full structure finished in a sleek, protective black enamel paint. Efficiency: Same-day removal of old stairs and installation of the new system. Key Benefit: Achievement of a "like-new" result without the cost of a full custom replacement.
