Custom Handrails That Elevate Your Home

Handrails are one of those details in a home that often go unnoticed—until they don’t. A well-designed handrail not only provides safety but also sets the tone for the entire space. Whether you’re looking to add a rustic mountain touch, a modern flair, or a timeless traditional look, a custom handrail can completely transform the feel of your home. At MTN Home Services, we specialize in creating custom handrails that combine durability, craftsmanship, and beauty, tailored specifically to your home in Blue Ridge, GA, Ellijay, GA, Blairsville, GA, and Murphy, NC.

The Power of Materials: White Oak, Steel, and Beyond

Every home has its own style, and the materials you choose for your railing system play a big part in defining it. That’s why we offer a wide variety of options that can be used on their own or blended together for a completely custom look:

• White Oak Handrails – White oak is known for its strength and classic beauty. Its grain patterns and warm tones make it a favorite for homeowners who want a natural, timeless look that works well in both rustic cabins and contemporary homes.

• Powder-Coated Steel – Steel offers unmatched durability, and when finished with powder coating, it resists rust, scratches, and weathering. Powder-coated steel handrails deliver a clean, modern look while offering long-term protection with minimal maintenance.

• Cable Railings – Perfect for homeowners who love open spaces and mountain views, cable railings are sleek, strong, and nearly invisible. They pair beautifully with both wood and steel, allowing light and sightlines to flow freely through your space.

• Blended Materials – Some of the most stunning results come from mixing materials. Imagine a white oak top rail paired with powder-coated steel posts and cable infill—this combination balances warmth, strength, and modern design.

Interior Handrails: A Statement Piece Inside the Home

Inside your home, handrails are more than just safety features—they’re design statements. A white oak rail can add warmth to a staircase, while powder-coated steel spindles provide a modern edge. In open-concept homes, cable railing systems are a perfect choice, giving staircases and loft overlooks a clean, unobtrusive look that complements the flow of natural light.

Pairing new railings with updated flooring can dramatically transform an interior—see our guide to LVP flooring for ideas that work beautifully alongside custom railings.

Exterior Handrails: Built for Beauty and Durability

For decks, porches, and outdoor staircases, durability is key. The mountain weather in North Georgia and Western North Carolina can be tough, with moisture, sun, and temperature changes all taking a toll on outdoor materials. That’s where powder-coated steel and cable railing combinations shine. Not only do they withstand the elements, but they also look incredible, especially when paired with natural wood details like white oak posts or accents.

A handrail should always be safe and functional, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring.

Whether you’re looking for a sleek, minimalist design for a modern home in Ellijay, or a bold, rustic look for a mountain retreat in Blue Ridge, we can bring it to life.
