About Stair Railings
Stair Railings in Vancouver, WA
Vancouver runs two stair stories at once: century-old Craftsman balustrades in Hough and Arnada, and tall foyer flights in the new custom homes across Felida and Salmon Creek. 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. As the Oregon arm of a Washington-based company, Clark County is home ground.
On a 1915 stair that means matching original character; on a new build it means long runs and tall foyer sections drawn for that exact space.
What We Build
Stair Railing Materials
Metal, glass, and cable each suit a different Vancouver staircase. Here is how they compare.
Metal Stair Railings
The most versatile across Vancouver’s range, from Craftsman-appropriate forged pickets to slim modern balusters in a new custom home.
Glass Stair Railings
The pick for a river-facing flight or a tall foyer with upper windows, keeping light and view moving through the house.
Cable Stair Railings
The modern option for newer east and north-side homes, keeping a stair open and pairing well with a wood handrail.
Why the Railing Matters
Two Eras, Two Different Stairs
A 1915 Vancouver staircase and a 2024 Felida foyer flight have almost nothing in common except that neither takes a stock railing kit well. The old stair has settled treads and profiles worth matching; the new one has long runs and tall sections where any drift shows.
Both are solved the same way: measure the flight as it actually is, fabricate to those dimensions, and detail the landings so the run carries through.
Local Experts
Stair Railings Across Vancouver
In Felida, Salmon Creek, and Lakeshore, custom homes bring grand stairs, tall foyer flights, and second-floor runs, usually in slim steel or glass. Downtown and at the Waterfront, condo stairs call for compact modern systems.
In Hough, Arnada, Shumway, and Lincoln, the work is period balustrade matching on century-old stairs, while Fisher’s Landing and Cascade Park bring oak-to-metal conversions.

Two Directions
Two Directions for a Vancouver Stair Railing
New construction runs modern; the historic districts keep period work. Both come from the same shop.
Modern Stair Railings
In Felida and at the Waterfront, modern leads. Slim steel, glass, or cable under a clean handrail, drawn for the long runs and tall foyer sections common in new custom builds.
Ornamental Stair Railings
In Hough and Arnada, period profiles matter. Forged pickets and newel detail matched to a Craftsman-era stair, so new balustrade work reads as part of the original house.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far around Vancouver do you travel?
All of Clark County, including Camas, Washougal, Ridgefield, and Battle Ground, plus the full Portland metro across the river.
Can you replace an oak balustrade on an east-side home?
Yes, it is steady work in Fisher's Landing and Cascade Park. The staircase stays; we measure the flight and install a new metal, glass, or cable railing in place of the old one.
Can you build a grand or curved staircase railing?
Yes. Curved runs and formal flights are demanding fabrication, and building them in our own shop to field measurements is what makes the finished railing fit.
Can you match the balustrade in our older Hough or Arnada home?
Yes. We reproduce picket profiles, newel details, and finishes to match the original stair, building new balustrade work that carries the same period character.
Do you work in Washington as well as Oregon?
Yes. Custom Railings OR is the Oregon arm of Custom Railings WA, a Washington-based company with more than 1,500 railings installed, so Vancouver and Clark County are home territory for a licensed and bonded team.
