Handrail & Railing Repair — Questions, Answered.
Can Rod repair a handrail that has come loose from the steps?
Yes. Loose rail is usually an anchor that has worked its way out or a cracked weld at a joint, and both get welded and re-anchored on site. Stair rails, porch rails, deck rails and grab rails across Mobile, Theodore, Tillmans Corner, Saraland, and Irvington and the rest of Mobile County. Call (251) 753-7337.Can you fix a porch railing that has rusted through at the base?
That is the common one on this coast — the post rusts where it meets the concrete, and everything above it starts to move. Rod cuts out the rusted section, fabricates the replacement piece to match the rail already there, welds it in and re-anchors the post.Do you sell or install new railings?
No. Rod repairs rail — he does not sell new railings and he does not install them. If your rail is beyond repair you will hear that plainly, but a new run is a job for somebody else.What metals do you repair railings in?
Iron, aluminum and stainless. The metal decides the process: TIG for the fine and thin work, MIG or Stick where the section is heavier. Send a photo of the joint to (251) 753-7337 and Rod will tell you what it takes.Can you match a section of railing to the rest of the run?
Usually, yes. The replacement piece gets fabricated to the profile and spacing of what is already there so the repair does not stand out. Send photos of the damaged section and of a good run beside it.
