Precision Fabshop & Steel Solutions L.L.C. fabricates custom steel handrails, guardrails and railing systems for residential, commercial and light-industrial projects throughout Georgetown, Austin and Central Texas.
Our capabilities include interior and exterior stair handrails, wall-mounted rails, balcony guardrails, deck railings, ramp and walkway rails, horizontal steel railings, vertical-picket railings, cable railing frames and glass railing support systems. Field measurements, delivery and installation are available depending on the project scope.
Custom Handrail and Guardrail Fabrication
A successful railing project begins with accurate measurements, a clearly selected design and properly defined mounting conditions. Precision Fabshop works with general contractors, builders, remodelers, architects, property owners and project teams that need custom steel railings fabricated for a specific space.
We fabricate railing systems from project drawings, approved designs, field measurements and clearly defined customer selections. Depending on the project, our scope may include shop fabrication, delivery, field fitting, anchoring, welding, bolting, installation and finish touch-up.
Handrails and guardrails serve different purposes and may be subject to different project requirements. The required height, spacing, profile, mounting method, connection details and infill system must be established by the approved plans and applicable project requirements.

Every project is reviewed according to its location, intended use, drawings, measurements, mounting surfaces, finish requirements and requested installation scope.
Cable Railing and Glass Railing Support Systems
Cable and glass railing systems can create a clean, open appearance, but they require accurate framing, consistent post placement and clearly defined component requirements. Cable, glass, specialty fittings, mounting hardware and finish materials are included only when specifically identified in the proposal. Final glass specifications, cable components and code-related details must be confirmed before fabrication.
For cable railing projects, our scope may include:
- Steel posts and railing frames
- End posts and intermediate posts
- Mounting plates and attachment brackets
- Drilled cable-pass-through locations
- Cable terminations and transition details
- Shop fabrication and installation
- Cable hardware and cable installation when included in the proposal
For glass railing projects, our scope may include:
- Steel posts and support frames
- Base plates and mounting components
- Glass-support brackets or channels
- Framing coordinated with approved glass dimensions
- Shop fabrication and installation
- Glass, hardware and glass installation when specifically included in the proposal
Cable, glass, hardware and specialty components are not automatically included. The proposal should identify who is supplying and installing each part of the completed railing system.
Fabrication From Drawings and Field Measurements
Accurate handrail and guardrail fabrication requires complete measurements and clearly defined mounting conditions. We can work from approved architectural drawings, structural drawings, shop drawings, field measurements or a combination of project documents and verified site information.
Project information should identify:
- Overall railing lengths
- Stair rise and run
- Landing dimensions
- Railing and handrail heights
- Post locations and spacing
- Member sizes and profiles
- Infill type and layout
- Mounting surfaces
- Base-plate or side-mount details
- Anchor and fastener requirements
- Connection to stairs, walls or framing
- Returns, transitions and terminations
- Gates or removable sections
- Finish and coating requirements
- Required inspections or testing
- Current drawing revisions
Rough measurements and photographs may be sufficient for an initial budget discussion, but final fabrication dimensions must be verified before production.
When engineering or sealed drawings are required, Precision Fabshop can coordinate with a third-party licensed engineer. Engineering is not represented as an in-house service.
