Custom Metal Stairs & Walkways for Commercial Construction

Stringer stairs, spiral staircases, floating stairs, fire escapes, catwalks, and elevated walkway systems. Engineered for code compliance, fabricated for precision, installed by our own crews.

Stairs & Walkways

Vertical Access Engineered and Fabricated In-House

Staircases and walkways are some of the most structurally demanding fabrications we produce. Every stair system must satisfy strict building code requirements for load capacity, rise and run, tread depth, headroom clearance, and egress width while also meeting the architectural design intent of the project. Metal City Fab handles both sides of that equation.

We engineer, fabricate, and install custom metal stair systems for commercial buildings, multifamily developments, industrial facilities, and high-end residential projects. Our capabilities range from ornamental floating staircases with glass and cable railings to heavy-duty industrial stairs, catwalks, and mezzanine access platforms. We work with structural steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and combine metal with wood, glass, stone, and concrete treads.

Our in-house engineering team produces PE-stamped structural calculations and detailed shop drawings for every stair project. We coordinate with the general contractor, architect, and other trades to ensure the stair system integrates with the building structure, floor elevations, and finish schedule. Our field crews handle delivery, rigging, and installation.

Our estimating team responds to most bid requests within 24 hours.
