A Front Entry That Needed Attention
This front exterior railing had seen better days. The metal hand rail was pulling loose from its mounting points after years of exposure to the elements had left it covered in rust, and the bricks at the front corner were cracked and crumbling. Beyond being an eyesore, the railing had become a genuine safety concern, wobbling under even light pressure and offering little support for anyone navigating the front steps.
Loose and corroded railings are more common than most people think, especially on older homes in the Upstate. Over time, moisture works its way into the mounting hardware, rust weakens the metal, and the masonry anchoring everything together starts to deteriorate. What begins as a small wobble can quickly turn into a railing that's barely attached at all. For families with children, elderly relatives, or anyone carrying groceries up the front steps, that's a risk no one should have to live with.
The homeowner wanted a solution that wouldn't just patch the problem. They needed the old railing removed, the damaged brick repaired, and a new, secure hand rail installed that would hold up for years to come. That's exactly the kind of project our team handles every day.
Sturdy, Safe, and Built to Last
Our team started by carefully removing the old, rusted railing and assessing the full extent of the brick damage. Rather than cutting corners, we repaired the broken masonry first to ensure the new railing would have a solid, stable foundation to anchor into. Once the brickwork was restored, we installed a new exterior hand rail, properly secured and built to withstand weather and daily use.
