Southeast Railing Co Inc

Five decades in the same Canton shop doing one thing: railings. Southeast Railing Co Inc fabricates and installs custom wrought iron — interior stair rails, exterior handrails, spiral stairs, Juliet balconies, ADA handicap rails — plus the steel stairs, gates, metal fencing and structural steel that go into commercial jobs. The company says the DeVoe family started it in 1976 and that Robert DeVoe is president. Its BBB profile puts the business start at 1973, counts 19 employees, and carries the alternate name Southeast Railing & Iron Works Company, Inc. There isn't a lot written about them, but what customers have written runs one way: every review on file is five stars, and the Google profile averages 5 across 15 ratings. The specifics all describe the same sequence — measure, fabricate to fit, install cleanly. A homeowner writing in 2022 walked through it after a mason's referral: Paul Quinn came out and measured the new front steps, the railings were custom made at the factory, and the installers used base covers so the drilled holes and cement don't show. Another, in 2025, had a signed contract within a day, came home to the finished railings, and said there wasn't a trace the crew had been there — then had them come down to a Cape vacation home. A different 2025 customer credited Quinn with steering them to a maintenance-free color galvanizing finish. And in 2022 someone described four iron railings put in for grandparents after a fall down the stairs, so the two of them could get in and out of the house again. Its BBB page is an A+, accredited since 2018. What to weigh is volume, not warmth. Fifteen Google ratings is a light paper trail for a shop that has been at this since the 1970s, and the newest written review is from mid-2025 — the praise is specific and consistent, but it is a small sample and none of it is from this year. Worth asking for a recent local reference, and for the finish options in writing, since the maintenance-free galvanizing that one customer liked is an upsell decision made before anything is cut. They're the right call for a made-to-measure iron railing: a front-step handrail, an interior stair rail, an accessibility rail for someone who needs to get in and out safely. Pin down the price and the finish before the shop cuts steel.
