About us

A Vermont Craftsman Dedicated to Structural Art

Vermont Custom Handrails & Metalwork was founded in 2021 by James Lambert, a master fabricator with over twenty years of specialized experience. James works directly with homeowners and architects to transform structural requirements into artistic centerpieces.

Every stair and railing system is custom-fabricated in our Hyde Park, VT shop. By combining heavy-duty engineering with clean, modern lines, our team ensures that each project is not only visually stunning but provides a rock-solid, silent ascent. Whether you are building a lakefront retreat or a contemporary mountain lodge, our commitment to quality ensures a result that is uniquely yours.

Ask about our LED options,  including cascading LEDs for monorail stairs and handrail LEDs on our custom railing systems for the ultimate architectural upgrade. Programmable sensors trigger lighting that follows your direction of travel, providing an extra degree of safety and modern brilliance to your custom floating stairs.

Our Custom Stairs & Stainless Steel Handrails Process

From the initial sketch to the final installation, we guide you through every step of creating your custom system.

In-Home Consultation: Discussing Your Vision

We visit your home to see your space, take measurements and discuss your vision for your railing or stair system. We will review our options, make recommendations and offer advice based on our extensive stair and railing design and installation experience. Our goal is to give you clarity on your vision for your space, as well as a sense of confidence in our expert craftsmanship and process. 

Custom Design & Fabrication

After the site visit, we will finalize the design for your unique space. Each peice is hand-crafted from high-grade stainless steel to provide stability, elegeance and to last a lifetime. Whether it be monorail stairs, custom stainless steel cable railings, or a craftsman style like our vertical balusters, each peice is fabricated by our top tier team of metal stair railing fabricators with a combined 60+ years of experience in fabrication. 

Clean, Structural Installation

When it is time for installation, we work neatly and respectfully in your home. We protect surrounding surfaces, maintain a clean workspace, and install your new stair or railing system with careful attention to detail. Our goal is simple: a strong, secure, beautiful result with as little disruption to your day as possible. We use the utmost attention to detail and care on the finishing touches so you can enjoy the end result immediately upon our departure. 

Final Safety Inspection and Support

After the installation is complete, we perform a rigorous safety check to ensure all structural points are perfectly aligned and secure. We walk you through the finished masterpiece to answer any questions and ensure the feel of the stairs exceeds your expectations. We provide ongoing support for all our fabrication work to ensure your investment lasts forever.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Our reputation is built on high-quality craftsmanship and professional, reliable installation.

 We love the result which is a stainless steel multi section arched/ curved railing at our property. I absolutely recommend these guys and can’t wait to do another project with them.
