FAQs for metal stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Snohomish, WA

Wrought iron handrails are more durable and have lasting aesthetic appeal compared to wood handrails.While wood handrails have lower installation costs ($15 to $25 per linear foot), they require high maintenance and typically last around 10 years. In contrast, wrought iron handrails can maintain their quality for 100 years or more. With their enhanced resilience and distinctive design, wrought iron often makes for a better long-term investment.

To clean your wrought iron railings, first remove any loose dust and debris with a clean cloth. Then, scrub the railing with warm water and mild dish soap to eliminate ingrained dirt. Use a nylon brush for intricate areas, and rinse thoroughly to ensure no residue remains. Dry the railing completely. If you notice any rust spots, address them with a rust brush or seek professional assistance for extensive corrosion.

Yes, it's relatively easy to maintain wrought iron railings with consistent care. Regularly applying a strong sealant or coat of paint helps prevent rust and corrosion, especially for outdoor railings. Using a liquid car wash once a year can also preserve your railing's finish and integrity. These simple steps ensure your railing remains both safe and visually appealing over the long term.

Choosing the right professional is essential for a flawless installation. Start by reviewing each contractor's portfolio and customer testimonialsto assess their expertise. Verify that they specialize in wrought iron fabrication. A focused consultation and thorough review of their past projects will help you select a professional with the proven technical skills and knowledge needed for your project.
