About Stair Railings
Stair Railings in Hillsboro, OR
Hillsboro’s stairs run compact and modern: three-story switchbacks in Orenco Station rowhomes, new flights going in across Reed’s Crossing, and reception and mezzanine stairs through the tech corridor. We design, fabricate, and install custom stair railings across the city in metal, glass, and cable, modern and ornamental.
Every railing is measured flight by flight and built in our own shop, which matters most in tight spaces where the hardware sits close enough to inspect.
In a narrow switchback, post and baluster placement is the whole craft.
What We Build
Stair Railing Materials
Metal, glass, and cable each suit a different Hillsboro staircase. Here is how they compare.
Metal Stair Railings
Drawn thin and finished well for modern homes, and the most capable on switchbacks and winders where the geometry turns. Ornamental for the older houses downtown.
Glass Stair Railings
The most openness in a narrow stairwell, keeping a compact three-story plan connected top to bottom rather than feeling like a corridor.
Cable Stair Railings
Modern lines at a new-construction budget, and a good fit for the open-riser flights common in Hillsboro’s newer homes.
Why the Railing Matters
Tight Stairs Are Less Forgiving, Not More
A rowhome switchback turns twice before the second floor, the landings are small, and the flights above and below have to line up or the whole stairwell looks off. A stock kit fights that geometry; a railing measured flight by flight follows it.
Compact stairs also punish bulk. Balusters that crowd the tread make a narrow stair feel narrower, which is why slim steel, cable, and glass do the best work in Hillsboro’s rowhomes and condos.

Stair Railings Across Hillsboro
Around Orenco Station, Tanasbourne, and AmberGlen, three-story rowhome switchbacks and loft stairs take slim steel, cable, and glass. Offices along the tech corridor bring reception and mezzanine flights.
In Reed’s Crossing and South Hillsboro, we work with owners and builders on new stairs, while Jackson School and downtown bring remodels opening older stairwells to light.

Two Directions
Two Directions for a Hillsboro Stair Railing
Hillsboro runs modern by default; the older core keeps ornamental. Both come from the same shop.
Modern Stair Railings
For Hillsboro’s newer homes, modern is the default. Slim steel, glass, or cable with quiet hardware, drawn to the precision the modern architecture asks for and sized so a compact stair stays open.
Ornamental Stair Railings
Downtown’s older homes take ornamental well. Forged pickets and detail work for the traditional homes around Jackson School and downtown, matched to the age of the house.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve the rest of Washington County?
We do. Hillsboro, Beaverton, Forest Grove, Cornelius, and the wider metro are all standard territory.
What suits an open-riser flight?
Glass and cable both work, since neither fills the gap between treads. Slim metal balusters are the alternative when you want a stronger vertical line.
Do you do commercial stair railings?
Yes. Reception stairs, office mezzanines, and common-area flights are regular work around the tech corridor, alongside residential projects.
When should we bring you in on a Reed’s Crossing new build?
Early helps. If we are in while the house is going up, the railing gets designed alongside the stair, and we measure once the flight is in and fabricate to it.
Can you fit a railing to a narrow rowhome switchback?
Yes, and tight stairs are where custom fabrication matters most. A switchback turns twice, so the posts have to land where they carry the run without crowding a tread. We measure flight by flight rather than assuming a standard rise and run.
