Custom wrought iron railings, gates and fences for Markham homes, from historic Unionville to Cornell and Angus Glen.
Markham ranges from the 19th-century main streets of Unionville and Markham Village to newer communities like Cornell, Berczy Village and Cathedraltown, and the estate homes around Angus Glen. We design custom wrought iron railings that respect each setting, from simple traditional pickets to elaborate scrolled panels.
Cornell and other newer neighbourhoods are built around front porches facing the street, which makes porch railings and guards especially visible. A personalized iron railing in place of a standard builder railing adds character and pairs well with brick and stone facades. In larger homes we build interior staircase railings, balconies and matching iron gates.
Every project is measured on site, fabricated in our workshop and installed by our own team, with a powder-coated finish built for Ontario winters.

Local answers for Markham homeowners planning custom wrought iron railings, gates and fences.
It depends on the project. Replacing an existing railing on the same steps often does not need a permit, but new decks, balconies, raised porches and below-grade entrances usually require a building permit from the City of Markham. Fences are governed by Markham's fence by-law, which limits heights (typically lower in front yards than back yards), and pool enclosures must meet the pool by-law, including self-closing, self-latching gates. Unionville, Markham Village, Thornhill-Markham and Buttonville are heritage conservation districts, so new fences, railings and other exterior changes there may need heritage approval and should suit the historic character. We check the rules for your address during the consultation and design to them.
Yes. Cornell homes typically have prominent front porches close to the sidewalk, so the railing is a large part of the facade. We can replace builder railings with custom wrought iron guards in a style that suits the house, while keeping the right height and spacing for safety. If your home is part of a community with design guidelines, we will make sure the new railing fits them.
Heritage homes in Unionville and Markham Village suit simple, traditional pickets with modest finials, while newer two-storey homes often look best with a mix of straight pickets and scroll accents. Estate homes in Angus Glen and Cachet can carry more ornate scrollwork, castings and curved panels. We bring photos and finish samples to your consultation so you can compare options.
We install throughout Markham, including Unionville, Cornell, Milliken, Berczy Village, Markham Village, Angus Glen, Cathedraltown and Wismer, as well as Richmond Hill, Scarborough and Pickering nearby. Consultations and quotes are free.
