Lawler Railing & Metal Design

Dan and Diana would like to thank all of our customers for buying the Lawler products and supporting our trade. We appreciate all the referrals and repeat business over the years. We have over 45 years experience in creating functional and artistic metalwork that can add safety and value to your home. With Lawler, we're not just putting pieces of metal together, we're creating functional metalwork. Metalwork such as railings and gates are important assets to enhancing the curb appeal of your home. Whether your looking for simple, sophisticated or an ornate style it should make a statement and be installed right for years to come. Lawler has the experience and skill to achieve this and it shows in the quality of our work. We do it once and do it right!

Since 1968 we have been providing quality, reliable work to homeowners, contractors, architects and interior designers for both commercial and residential properties. A few differences for example are Lawler railings have more posts, the balusters are evenly spaced during the layout process and not pre-punched. The product that we use for your installation is not water soluble and takes a high level of skill and experience to use. It cannot be purchased (such as quickset) at the local store. There are many more pictures in our portfolio and we would be happy to send them to you.

Lawler Railing is a second generation railing shop. My father Charles Lawler started in ironworking in the 50's at several local shops in Morris County. In 1969 Charles purchased our current location from an ironworker who purchased it from a previous ironworker. Dan started working at the shop in 1975. Charles retired in 1996 and Lawler Railing is currently run by myself and my wife Diana. Prior to Lawler Railing, Diana was an Advertising Director and Graphic Designer. Diana's background is important to helping our customers to achieve the style they like. The combination of Diana's designs and Dan's superb craftsmanship has allowed Lawler Railing to create and fabricate very special products for our clients.

As you look at our website, you will notice our commitment to detail and service. Lawler Railing has been featured in Design NJ Magazine in 2003 and most recently in Design NJ Magazine August/September 2009 issue 'How to incorporate metal into your work' and Morris Life Magazine.We replaced our above ground pool this summer and built a new deck around the pool but were left with a tricky 9-foot opening due to the layout it had to be in connection with a second story deck. After having several other railing & fencing companies out to quote the job of building something that would meet our needs and close off this opening, none could make something that would look good aesthetically or get close to matching the deck color. They were all 'choose something from a catalog' type businesses. Then we discovered Lawler Railing & Metal Design & problem solved! They were able to fabricate exactly what we wanted to our odd specs... a lightweight aluminum railing with caster wheels mounted underneath (it is a sliding gate) & powder coated to the perfect color. We love our new gate. The folks at Lawler were great to work with & the price was reasonable too. Would definitely recommend them.

Services

At Lawler Railing we offer a full range of services for our clients. Our quality is evident throughout our custom products, from a small handrail to large detailed projects. You can see and feel the difference.As always, we offer shipping to our out-of-state customers.The metals we work with are iron, aluminum, bronze, and stainless. We also perform repairs on antiques and home furnishings.The first step after the initial conversation is for us to examine the site and take field measurements. Once this is done Diana will contact you and discuss in more detail how your work will be fabricated and installed. We recommend making an appointment once the measurements are taken. Most projects require approximately 4-6 weeks while some can take much longer depending on the complexity.

Due to insurance regulations we can not reinstall railings unless they are from us originally and meet current codes. Our installations requires an experienced installer with a special skill level. We do not use a simple quickset cement.It is best to call us first before you come to our office to make an appointment. If you are installing your project, a sketch is necessary before you come to the office. All projects small or large require a rough sketch with basic dimensions before you come to our office. Our field measurements are taken only after all masonry/steps are completed. We do not price over the phone as every project is different.
