Interior vs. Exterior Iron Railing Installation


Interior railings cover stair railings, balcony guards, loft edges, and landing rails. A skilled iron railing contractor focuses these installations on precise fit, smooth welds, and finishes that match your floors and woodwork. Curved stair iron work is a specialty, with sweeping designs available for spiral and curved staircases.


Exterior railings must perform year-round in Minnesota conditions. Edina winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, road salt, and heavy snow. Front steps, decks, and balconies take the hardest hits.


Anchor Iron protects every outdoor railing with a three-part coating:

1. A full-coverage dip.

2. A primer coat.

3. A finish coat in the color you choose.


This layered system guards against moisture and rust through many Minnesota winters. See the iron deck, balcony, and walkway page for additional exterior options.

Edina Neighborhoods and Areas Served


Anchor Iron regularly works throughout Edina and surrounding Hennepin County communities. In northeast Edina, Morningside and Country Club District projects often involve matching new railings to older ironwork from the 1920s and 1930s. Decorative scrolls and classic shapes are common requests. In southeast Edina, condos and townhomes near Centennial Lakes and Edinborough often favor simple, slim designs that fit smaller entries.


Anchor Iron also serves St. Louis Park, Eden Prairie, Richfield, Bloomington, and Minneapolis. In every neighborhood, each design starts with a close look at the home's architecture and how the railing will be used. Read reviews from past customers to see the range of completed projects.

Contractor Credentials and the Installation Process


Anchor Iron Company is a fourth-generation, family-owned iron railing contractor building custom ironwork since 1953. Every railing is made at the Savage, MN, shop and installed by the company's own crew. No work is handed off to subcontractors. Homeowners work with the same team from the first visit to the final walkthrough.


The process follows five steps:

1. Consultation: Talk through the style, size, and finish you want.

2. Measurement: A team member measures the space at your home.

3. Fabrication: The railing is cut, welded, ground smooth, and coated three times.

4. Installation: The crew installs the railing and anchors it into concrete where needed.

5. Final walkthrough: The team checks the fit and finish with you.
