There are times when a standard solution just won’t cut it—when your client needs a specialized fabrication job to create just the right look for their property. Whether it's to replicate an existing architectural style or preserve a home's historic charm, attention to detail makes all the difference.

At TMW Steel Structures, we’re often called upon to do more than build—we’re asked to honor a home’s history. And that was exactly the case with a recent project in Rancho Palos Verdes.


A Home with a Vision—and a Story to Match:

The homeowner welcomed us into her 1930s Spanish-style home with a clear vision: she wanted new railings that would blend seamlessly with the existing ironwork found throughout her home—both inside and out. Maintaining aesthetic continuity was not just a preference; it was a priority. She wanted every new piece we built to look like it had been there since day one.

Her project goals were clear:


  • Add a new staircase and railing to provide backyard access to the second floor.

  • Upgrade and repair existing access gates.

  • Restore a rust-damaged balcony railing off the bedroom.

Every element needed to reflect the home’s unique style while providing modern strength and safety.


Blending Old-World Style with Modern Craftsmanship:

In addition to the new construction, we were tasked with repairing an existing second-floor railing off the bedroom that had rusted through at the base. Our team handled both the new fabrication and the delicate on-site repairs quickly and efficiently, ensuring a cohesive, polished look that respected the home’s original style.


Given the home’s historic character, we incorporated a Spanish-style decorative panel into the new railings—carefully selected to echo the patterns found at the front door and throughout the interior of the home. The result? A perfect match that looked as if it had always been there.


By using modern fabrication techniques, we were able to deliver railings that not only honored the original design but also offered superior strength, safety, and longevity—ready to stand strong for another hundred years.
