Tucson’s Top Choice for

Custom Metal Fabrication 


Metal is at the heart of many buildings in Tucson, shaping everything from how people move through space to the way a property stands up to harsh weather conditions. At Top Stairs and Railings of Tucson, we go far beyond metalwork that supports a structure. By the end of every project, we elevate a property in more ways than one. Our metal stairs help hotels, malls, and other commercial buildings comply with local building codes. Our metal awnings and gates signal quality and durability, enhancing the overall impression of restaurants, offices, and retail establishments. Our custom fabrication services ensure that finished products can also double as design accents or statement pieces.

We take pride in going above and beyond to make sure each client is treated as a first priority. We offer full control over style, shape, materials, and finish, so each piece matches the client’s design vision perfectly. And if you’re not sure what will work best, our team offers expert guidance to help you choose solutions that balance long-term performance and aesthetics. Our vast experience in taking on large and highly specialized projects means we are equipped to serve developers, general contractors, residential property owners, and businesses of all sizes. 

Stairs and Railings That Protect and Impress 


Stairs and railings are essential for safety and functionality in virtually every type of building. Individually, or together, they provide secure and stable pathways for people to move between levels while preventing accidents. However, to achieve a truly sturdy staircase and railing, any material won’t just cut it. That’s why we specialize in metal stairs and railings, which can handle heavy loads, constant use, and Tucson’s intense heat. Our products can be shaped, sized, and powder-coated to fit unique spaces and even irregular layouts. Simply put, we offer solutions to problems that pre-fabricated kits can’t solve.


For various buildings across Pima County, our metal railings and stairs offer another layer of safety: reduced risk of legal exposure for property owners. When stairs or railings fail, injuries can happen and property owners are left liable for damages.


To prevent this, our team of fabricators ensures that: 

  • Industrial Sites get code-compliant metal railings on mezzanines or loading docks, protecting workers and employers from accidents and lawsuits. 
  • Commercial Properties get sturdy railings at stairwells or ramps, reducing the risk of customer injuries. 
  • Residential Properties get metal stairs or balcony railings that prevent accidents on multi-level homes.

Owners of warehouses and factories trust us for mezzanine stairs and other heavy-duty stair options that can handle high loads and frequent foot traffic. We’ll measure your interior or exterior space to offer the best layout and style options for your needs. Our custom metal stairs can be built to match your building’s unique layouts, uneven terrain, or specialized needs, all while adhering to industry standards. Our team of pros will do the planning, design, fabrication, and installation of your new staircase, whether that’s for a new office, hotel, or hospital.

Spiral Stairs 

In areas where a full traditional staircase won’t fit, we can build and install custom spiral stairs that provide a safe pathway without taking away valuable floor area. Whether interior or exterior, these stairs are perfect for back entrances, rooftops, and compact residential spaces. Our steel spiral stairs not only resist weather damage, but also pests and rotting, making them far more reliable than wood or pre-fabricated kits you’ll find in the market. Whether you’re looking for a rugged industrial feel or a sleek modern look, our ability to fabricate any style ensures you get a circular staircase that matches your building’s look and intended usage with the added strength of metal that will last for years with minimal maintenance.

ADA Handrails 

Equally important for high-traffic and public-facing properties are ADA handrails. They ensure that people of all abilities can safely navigate walkways, stairs, and ramps. Building handrails is proof of how safety is built into the projects we handle. Our handrails reduce slip-and-fall risks, avoiding preventable accidents as well as legal consequences that can come with them. We strictly follow ADA’s guidelines on required handrail height, grip diameter, proper wall clearance, and handrail extensions. We can construct these railings in aluminum, steel, iron or about any other metal you need and we can easily install into block, drywall, concrete, or attach to your existing metal structure. Keep your property safe, and accessible with ADA-compliant metal handrails in Tucson.

Pipe Railings 

Pipe railings are one of the most dependable safety features you can install on any commercial or public property. They protect people in places where a simple misstep could lead to an accident. For example, in public walkways, our ADA-compliant railings can separate pedestrians and children from traffic. For building entrances or outdoor staircases, we can add pipe railings to provide stable support as patrons pass through or ascend and descend. Even when installed outdoors in high-traffic areas, our railings won’t loosen or fail given our expert installation and years of experience in the industry. Pipe railings or tube railings are one of the most common and cost-effective options when looking for any type of professional metal railing system.

Metal Gates 

Secure, stylish, and built to last, our metal gates can protect homes, businesses, and industrial properties for many decades. We build them using steel, aluminum, and other high-quality materials, coupled with durable finishes to ensure every gate can withstand intense heat and sudden storms. Our team handles everything from design and fabrication to installation, whether you need an automated system for driveway gates or swing gates with decorative branding for commercial spaces. Check out ideas for all the various metal gate options we can deliver for your next project in Tucson.

Dumpster Doors and Gates 

Our metalwork goes beyond providing safety and compliance. We also fabricate dumpster doors and trash gates for any property where waste management is part of daily operations. Restaurants, shopping centers, and grocery stores can benefit from a clean trash enclosure, helping to comply with city regulations while keeping dumpsters tucked out of sight, behind heavy-duty doors. And because we produce metal enclosures, using long-lasting steel or corrosion-resistant aluminum, you can have peace of mind knowing these structures easily withstand frequent use and outdoor conditions. Our trash enclosures can be further secured by installing manual locks or drop rods, plus we can add wheels to aid with opening and closing oversized doors.

Metal Awnings 

For a low-maintenance shade solution that improves customer comfort and withstands harsh weather, you can rely on our custom metal awnings. We use steel or aluminum, so your awnings can last for decades and require lower upkeep costs compared to fabric or wood awnings. Our fabricators can build these shade structures to fit modern architecture, unusual window sizes, commercial storefronts, or large patios. For larger awnings, like those on carports or commercial walkways, our team pays close attention to structural integrity and proper anchoring, designing supports and attachment points that meet safety standards.

Metal Fabrication for Highly Specialized Projects 

Our years of experience in metal fabrication have exposed us to the varying building styles, safety codes, and load requirements throughout Arizona. So when it comes to metal fabrication, we don’t just go for “close enough.” We deliver every finished project to spec, whether it requires thicker support beams, stronger connections, or compliance with commercial or residential codes. Meaning, you get a solution that matches your vision and more value for your money. For commercial and industrial properties, we can build anything from bollards to heavy equipment platforms. Commercial kitchen equipment and storage, supports to hold lights for theaters or clubs, and of course custom railings, gates, and stairs. For residential applications, our team can offer home safety upgrades like fences that fit irregular lot lines, window grills, and even child-safe or pet-specific railings.

Commercial Pergolas 

Business owners who want a shade structure that doesn’t fully block the sky often opt for a custom pergola. They offer natural light, airflow, and ambiance with an open, airy feel. We fabricate commercial pergolas for hotels, lounges, restaurants, and cafés looking to add architectural character and create a premium experience for their patrons. We customize our pergolas to match your business’s personality (cozy, casual, upscale, or modern) by adding lights, slat designs, and other fixtures that create the right atmosphere. You can also incorporate add-ons with functional benefits like screens for blocking glare or fans for enhanced comfort. 


Tucson’s Growth Means Rising Demand for Superior Metalwork   


Tucson is changing for the better, with new retail centers, offices, and warehouses reshaping the city. This economic boom presents a combination of challenge and opportunity: new buildings are expected to be strong, safe, and visually attractive for the new generation of customers and tenants. Meanwhile, older buildings need a facelift to keep up with the changing times and extend the life of properties. In both cases, our team of welders will offer practical, investment-worthy solutions. Top Stairs’ custom metalwork can complement the rapidly evolving commercial and industrial zones in Tucson and surrounding areas. We help protect properties (with sliding or swinging metal gates and security fences), optimize spaces (with spiral stairs, custom shelving, and storage frames), and improve visual flair (with pergolas and ornamental railings).

New Design and Installation 

Multi-tenant commercial buildings in areas like Northwest Tucson or Marana may need metal signage structures, cable railings, or shade structures that balance function and aesthetics. This is where our team excels. We conduct site assessment, take precise measurements for accurate designs, fabricate and add your preferred finishes to create pieces that match your building’s layout and style. You don’t have to worry about installation either because our installers will ensure each product follows accurate placement and anchoring, as well as safety codes and engineering specifications. 


We follow the same meticulous design-to installation process for industrial projects, with adjustments to meet the demands of industrial operations. Think hefty metal stairs for industrial scale-traffic, mezzanines for heavy inventory loads, and railings designed for visibility and added safety.

Repairs and Renovations 

Property owners within and beyond Tucson also call us for repair and renovation projects that enhance both the visual appeal and function of existing commercial spaces. Imagine a retail store in Downtown Tucson with a dated entrance. We can install a sleek, powder-coated metal awning that shades customers from the sun, all while giving the storefront a modern look. We can also transform indoor spaces like lobbies or galleries by replacing worn-out, traditional stairs with monumental staircases that add a touch of grandeur. 


Industrial properties clustered around Tucson International Airport and nearby roads like Alvernon Way and Los Reales Road may also need heavy-duty metalwork. We can assist by upgrading old steel stairs to meet safety codes, adding guardrails for worker safety, and replacing damaged gates to secure entrances or storage yards.

Decorative Metal Additions 

For commercial spaces that aim to feel more polished and memorable, our decorative metalwork does the job. We fabricate and customize metal partitions for restaurants or commercial railings for hotel lobbies, all while incorporating patterns, logos, or textures that reflect your brand’s personality. Imagine a hotel lobby with laser-cut leaf metal partitions that divide seating from the reception area.


Or a spa that has metal screens with wave patterns that maintain natural light and airflow. These projects showcase our fabrication expertise, wherein we cut metal sheets into decorative patterns like leaves, geometric shapes and even abstract designs. The result is a precise metalwork that gives off positive impressions and encourages repeat visits.
