Commercial Handrails | Atlanta GA
We install commercial handrails for offices, churches, apartment complexes, shopping centers, restaurants, medical facilities, and industrial properties throughout Metro Atlanta. Every commercial project we handle is built to meet current ADA accessibility requirements and local building codes.
Whether you're a property manager adding handrails to bring an older building into compliance, a general contractor on a new build, or a business owner renovating your storefront, we have the experience to get it done right and on schedule.
ADA and Code Compliance
Commercial handrails in Atlanta must meet specific requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Georgia's building codes:
Height: Handrails must be installed between 34 and 38 inches above the stair nosing or ramp surface.
Diameter: The graspable portion must have a circular cross-section between 1.25 and 2 inches in diameter, or a non-circular shape with a perimeter between 4 and 6.25 inches.
Clearance: At least 1.5 inches of clearance between the handrail and the wall or any adjacent surface.
Extensions: Handrails must extend at least 12 inches beyond the top riser and the length of one tread depth beyond the bottom riser.
Load: Handrails must withstand 200 pounds of force applied in any direction at any point along the rail.
We build every commercial handrail to meet or exceed these requirements. Our installations are designed to pass inspection on the first visit — we don't cut corners on compliance.

Materials for Commercial Applications
Most commercial handrails are fabricated from steel or aluminum. Steel is the standard for heavy-duty interior and exterior applications — it's strong, cost-effective, and easy to finish in any color. Aluminum is a good choice for environments with high moisture exposure (pool areas, covered outdoor walkways) because it's naturally corrosion-resistant.
All commercial handrails we install are finished with a commercial-grade powder coat or hot-dip galvanized coating, depending on the application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you work on occupied buildings?
Yes. We routinely install handrails in occupied office buildings, apartment complexes, and retail spaces. We coordinate with building management to schedule work during off-hours when needed.
Do you handle permit applications?
We can advise on whether your project requires a permit and provide the documentation needed for the application. For commercial projects in the City of Atlanta, most new handrail installations on existing structures require a permit through the Department of Buildings.
What's the typical timeline for a commercial project?
It depends on scope. A straightforward stairwell handrail can be fabricated and installed within 1–2 weeks. Larger projects with multiple locations or custom designs may take 3–4 weeks. We'll give you a clear timeline before any work starts.
Do you provide warranty on commercial installations?
Yes. We stand behind our work with a warranty on both materials and labor. Specifics are included in every project proposal.
