Questions

Railings and stairs FAQ

Do Houston shops install railings?

Many do. Texas Outlaw Welding lists an exterior steel handrail among its installed work. Ask whether install is part of the quote.

Can a Houston shop bend rail to a curve?

Yes. Tube-Tec Bending bends tube, pipe, angle and beam profiles up to 20 inches. Send the radius or a template.

Which rules apply to my railing?

Houston, Bellaire and the villages each set their own building rules. Check with your city before you order.

Good to know

  • Measure the run and the height. Photos help the shop see the mounting points.
  • Ask what finish holds up in Houston weather.
