Our Company Background

For decades, Capitol Iron Works has designed and fabricated structural metalwork for some of the most demanding residential, commercial, and institutional projects across the region. Floating Stairs Maryland was established to bring that same industrial fabrication precision into the luxury residential staircase market across Maryland, with a focused team, a dedicated design process, and a service model built specifically around the expectations of high-end homeowners.

That connection to Capitol Iron Works is not a marketing footnote. It is the foundation of everything we build. Our workflow is streamlined and built to keep everything open and easy to understand. It begins with an on-site structural consultation where our engineer and design lead assess your home together. We do not subcontract structural work. We do not quote from a rate card. Every project is assessed on-site, designed to your specific structural and aesthetic brief, and priced accordingly.

The Capitol Iron Works Heritage

Capitol Iron Works has spent decades gaining a reputation most manufacturers never achieve. The Washington DC shop has produced architectural metalwork for landmark projects across the region, from custom structural steel installations in institutional buildings to bespoke interior metalwork in some of the most architecturally significant private residences in the Mid-Atlantic. The fabrication standards developed over that time, covering weld quality, dimensional tolerance, surface finish, and structural performance, are the same standards applied to every floating staircase we design and build for Maryland homeowners.

When a Potomac estate or a Bethesda townhouse receives a floating staircase from our team, the steel behind it has been cut, welded, finished, and inspected in the same Capitol Iron Works facility that has served architects, developers, and designers across the DC region for years. That provenance matters. It means the craftsmanship behind your staircase is not residential-grade. It is industrial-precision brought into a residential context.

Our portfolio spans Maryland''s most distinguished residential markets. In Montgomery County, we have delivered cantilevered walnut-tread stair systems in Potomac estates where double-height entry halls demanded both structural ambition and material refinement. In Bethesda and Chevy Chase, we have worked alongside award-winning interior designers to coordinate floating stair installations within broader luxury renovation scopes. In Annapolis, our team has restored heritage ironwork staircases in Historic District properties while simultaneously engineering new cantilevered systems in waterfront estates along the Severn River.
