Built for Whitehall
Railings that fits the homes here.
Whitehall's housing runs from postwar bungalows and brick colonials near MacArthur Road to newer developments off Schadt Avenue — so we're equally at home building a traditional box-newel package or a transitional two-tone stair. Being local, deliveries skip freight markups and mid-install adjustments happen same-day. Much of this work comes through neighbor referrals, and we prioritize them.

Railings in Whitehall — your questions, answered.
How much does a new stair railing cost in Whitehall?
A full wood-and-iron railing system in Whitehall typically runs $6,000–$14,000. A straight bungalow flight sits lower; a colonial foyer with a balcony run and a turned or box newel trends higher. Because we're local, there's no freight markup. That's a range to set expectations, not a quote — we confirm firm after a site measure.
Can I see railing samples at your Whitehall shop?
Yes — we keep a broader range of samples at 117 Franklin Street than we bring on site visits: baluster profiles (wood and iron), handrail sections, and finish chips. Walk in Mon–Fri 8:00A–4:30P, or call ahead at (610) 443-2240.
How quickly can you start a railing project in Whitehall?
We can usually schedule a measuring visit the same week — Whitehall is home. Production runs about five to seven weeks for a full railing system, then one coordinated install. Being local, mid-project questions get answered same-day.
Do you build both traditional and transitional railings in Whitehall?
Yes. We build traditional box-newel and turned-baluster systems for Whitehall's brick colonials and transitional two-tone systems with satin-black iron for contemporary new builds — whichever suits your home.
Is there a benefit for Whitehall neighbor referrals on a railing?
We take care of the people who send us work — it's how we've grown since 1987. Mention a neighbor referral when you call and we prioritize your scheduling.
