The Iron Shop

Purchased a 7” diameter aluminum multiline outdoor spiral staircase which was assembled by The Iron Shop. It is larger than most of the pre-fab alternatives but worth it. It isn’t inexpensive but the quality is first rate and a distinctive addition to our home.
I picked up the staircase at The Iron Shop manufacturing facility. Although the staircase only weighed about 400 lbs, its size and the chance of damaging it during a 400 mile trip to south-central Virginia made loading somewhat challenging. The manufacturing team that constructed it customized a stand that was bolted on the trailer. The entire team, and several other shop workers, pitched in to ensure safe transport; it wasn’t a cookie-cutter solution! Their pride in their work and ensuring customer satisfaction was clearly evident!
The transit took about 9 hours with speeds seldom greater than 45 mph. Travelers were definitely interested in my cargo, appreciated my journey and repeatedly gave me 2-thumbs up after they figured out what they saw.
Installation took about 2 days and most certainly meets our most optimistic expectations.

Overall great experience. Iron Shop helped me design a narrow spiral staircase for a tight opening up to a finished attic, the stairs were delivered on time, it was fairly easy for me to put the stairs together (and much easier than expected), the stairs look great, are very solid / sturdy, and were priced on the lower end of what I could find.

Ordered parts for my spiral stair kit and the customer support has been above and beyond. Dan sent me some spare parts immediately after I emailed him that I damaged a part during installation! I’ll definitely be ordering my staircase upgrades in the future!

I bought a powder coated spiral staircase 6 years ago for my ocean front home. I have had to replace and maintain so many things due to the salt air, such as most of my outside lights which all corroded, even though they were rated for marine environment, hinges, and locks. I have had to repaint the front of the house, doors, the garage door, but NOT the spiral staircase. If I cleaned it, it would still look brand new. Very high quality product. I highly recommend. I also have a spiral staircase at my non-beach home. I chose the standard paint finish and have to re-spray paint it every 3-4 years. Still great. Everyone near me (in the city) has the same issue with their metal balconies and stairs. I do recommend you pay more and get the powder coat finish though, I would if I could do it again.
