About us

A Vermont Craftsman Dedicated to Structural Art

Vermont Custom Handrails & Metalwork was founded in 2016 by James Lambert, a master fabricator with over fifteen years of specialized experience. James works directly with homeowners and architects to transform structural requirements into artistic centerpieces.

Every mono-stringer and cantilevered system is custom-fabricated right here in his Morrisville, VT shop. By combining heavy-duty engineering with clean, modern lines, James 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.

How Our Floating Stair Installation Process Works

Architectural Design and Site Analysis

We visit your home to perform a detailed site analysis and take precise structural measurements. This is where we discuss mono-stringer versus cantilevered styles and select the high-end materials that best complement your home’s aesthetic. You will receive expert guidance on engineering requirements and a clear path forward for your custom project.

Precision Engineering in Our Vermont Shop

Once the design is finalized, your staircase is custom-engineered in our Morrisville workshop. We use over fifteen years of specialized fabrication experience to weld and finish your steel system with absolute precision. Every component is built to fit your home perfectly, utilizing heavy-gauge American steel designed for a lifetime of daily use.

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 banister with careful attention to detail. Our goal is simple: a strong, secure, beautiful result with as little disruption to your day as possible.

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.
