Why Wichita Metal Stair and Fabrication
Built for Commercial Projects
We understand the scale, codes, and timelines of large commercial and multi-family projects.
Welded, Not Pieced Together
We minimize bolts and screws by welding everything in-house or on-site, resulting in cleaner finishes and fewer failure points.
Custom-Fit Metalwork
Every product is measured, cut, and fabricated to fit your job, not mass-produced.
Local to Wichita
Based right here in Wichita, we serve towns like Maize, El Dorado, Park City, and Goddard, offering fast response times and regional expertise.
Kansas Code Knowledge
We build for the codes, weather, and usage patterns you deal with every day.
Accountability First
Our name is on every project, and we take that seriously.
What We Build in the Greater Wichita, Kansas Area
Steel Stairs
Fire escapes, steel stringers, pan stairs with concrete treads—we build metal stair systems for apartments, motels, office buildings, and multi-story buildings throughout Wichita. These aren’t off-the-shelf. Each stair run is measured to your layout and built for real-world foot traffic and weather.
Floating Stairs
Mono-stringer stairs for high-end homes and commercial interiors. Often centerpieces in lobbies, renovation projects, or luxury properties in neighborhoods like College Hill or Riverside. Fully customizable, we can build steel stringers, paired with wood or glass treads, and finished with cable or glass railing systems or many other options.
Awnings
Cantilever awnings and suspended canopies designed to withstand Kansas wind and temperature swings. We fabricate these for commercial storefronts, apartment entries, and shared outdoor areas like restaurant patios or pool decks. Optional internal drainage systems are available for better water control.
Fabrication
Need metal shelves, dumpster gates, or railing systems that fit exactly in your space? We handle one-off jobs for contractors who need something solid, custom-fit, and fully welded. Perfect for finishing work like railings, commercial pergolas, ramps, landing gates, or any custom part that has to fit into an active site.
Who We Work With
- Commercial builders and general contractors managing multi-story or multi-phase projects
- Home developers and property owners building or upgrading rental units
- Business owners adding permanent outdoor structures or welded gates
- Renovation contractors needing modern stairs or railings as part of an upscale build
- If you’re building something big, permanent, and subject to inspection, we’re your team.
How We Handle Your Projects Right
We build to Wichita codes
Our fabrication work follows the International Building Code (IBC) for stairs, guardrails, and awnings—including specs for rise/run, 42" guard height, 4" max openings, and 7' canopy clearance. We also meet ADA handrail guidelines and weld everything to AWS D1.1 structural standards. Local inspectors know what to flag—we build to avoid it.
We plan for real conditions
We don’t just design for drawings. We think about snowmelt pooling on Newton stairs, wind pushing on canopies in Andover, and drainage off pergolas in Haysville. These are the kinds of issues that don’t show up in specs, but matter in the field.
We avoid jobsite rework
Our builds don’t just fit—they land clean. We account for field conditions, coordinate with other trades, and double-check layout details before anything hits the shop floor. That means no surprises, no scrambling, and no extra trips to fix what should’ve worked the first time.
Our General Process
You reach out with a project
Whether you’re building out a new stair tower, replacing gates, or planning floating stairs for a modern build, we’ll take a look at your plans, sketches, or photos. If needed, we'll walk the site. Many things can’t measured from photos, but we’re happy to review your plans and drawings if available.
We confirm the details before we build
Before we start cutting steel, we go over your layout, verify site conditions, and coordinate around other trades. This helps avoid conflicts with framing, concrete, or utilities, and keeps everything moving without surprises.
We handle fabrication in-house
Your project stays with us from start to finish—cutting, welding, surface prep, and finish. That goes for everything we make: stairs, railings, awnings, dumpster gates, and one-off parts that don’t come standard.
We deliver it ready to go, or install it ourselves
Need it dropped off so your crew can install it? No problem. Want us to handle the install? We do that too. Either way, it shows up fully welded, shop-finished, and ready to go.
FAQs
Whether you need commercial metal stairs, high-end residential stairs, or a reliable commercial welding contractor, knowing what to expect can help you make smart choices. To help you better understand these services, we’ve gathered answers to four of the most common questions people ask us. This way, you can feel confident when you hire us for your next project.
How long does fabrication usually take?
Most projects take 2–4 weeks once everything is measured and approved. Smaller builds like dumpster gates or short runs of railing, may be quicker. Larger stair systems or canopies can take longer, especially if installation timing matters. Call today to check our latest lead times.
What if something changes on-site after we measure?
It happens. If a wall moves, a slab shifts, or there is a change order, just give us a call. Since we build everything here in Wichita, we can usually adjust fast. That’s one advantage of working locally, not waiting weeks for a replacement.
Can you help with design or layout issues?
Yes. If you’re not sure how a stair ties in or how a railing returns, we’ll help figure it out before we build. We’ve worked with enough layouts to know when something needs a second look.
What materials do you use?
We primarily work with steel but also commonly use aluminum and iron. For exposed exterior elements, we offer finishing options like powder coating or galvanizing. For floating stairs, we can also pair steel stringers with wood or glass treads and custom railings.
