Custom Staircases & Architectural Metal Stairs — Boston & Massachusetts
Floating stairs, spiral and helical systems, structural steel stairs, and integrated railings—fabricated in Everett, detailed for constructability, and installed by Irias Iron Works field teams statewide.
Staircases are structural and sculptural at once. We partner with architects, engineers, and builders to deliver custom staircases and railings that meet code, carry prescribed loads, and photograph cleanly. From straight-run steel to helical geometries, we obsess over connections, tolerances, and installation sequencing.

Stair types we build
- Floating and concealed-stringer stairs with hidden attachment strategies
- Spiral and helical stairs — tight radius layouts with controlled deflection
- Commercial egress stairs, monumental stairs, and feature stairs in lobbies
- Exterior galvanized or powder-coated steel stairs for access and roof levels
Coordination with engineers and architects
We translate design intent into shop drawings that clarify weldments, bolted connections, and interfacing trades. When structural calculations are provided, our detailing follows the engineer of record. If you are early in design, we can advise on constructability and budget-friendly approaches before documentation hardens.
Materials & finishes
Carbon steel, stainless steel, and mixed-metal assemblies with tread options including steel pan, wood cap, stone support, or glass. Finishes selected for interior climate-controlled spaces vs. freeze-thaw exterior exposure.
Installation in occupied buildings
We plan rigging paths, temporary bracing, and phased closures with your GC. Safety plans align with site rules for Boston-area projects and broader Massachusetts job sites.
FAQ: stair fabrication
Do you provide shop drawings?
Yes — shop drawings are part of our workflow for approval prior to fabrication.
Can you retrofit an older building?
Many projects require field verification of slab edges, embeds, and structure — we assess and propose connections that respect existing conditions.
