Contact Us Today

Aluminum Specialist Inc provides professional fabrication and installation of aluminum railings and gates in Homestead & Florida City, FL. Our services include custom-built safety railings, decorative gates, pool barriers, and stair enclosures—all engineered to meet local code requirements and withstand Florida’s challenging climate.

Custom Aluminum Railings

Aluminum railings serve both functional and aesthetic purposes, offering essential safety along stairs, balconies, walkways, and elevated decks. At Aluminum Specialist Inc, we design railing systems that blend seamlessly with your existing architecture while meeting strict building codes for residential and light commercial use.

Balcony and Stair Railings

Our balcony and stair railings are built from rust-resistant aluminum, ideal for the humid, salt-rich air in Homestead & Florida City, FL. Each system is fabricated to precise measurements, ensuring a secure fit and consistent alignment throughout the project. We offer:


  • Flat-top or picket styles

Popular for second-story balconies and raised porches, these provide open visibility while maintaining fall protection.


  • Decorative and scroll designs

For homeowners seeking ornamental value, we incorporate scrolls, knuckles, or geometric accents into the railing design.


  • Code-compliant heights and spacing

Our railing systems meet or exceed Miami-Dade County requirements, including handrail height, baluster spacing, and anchoring specifications.

Porch and Walkway Railings

For ground-level areas such as entryways, garden paths, and porches, our aluminum railings offer both guidance and visual separation. We can mount railings on concrete, pavers, or wood decking, using concealed fasteners and corrosion-resistant anchors to maintain a clean, lasting finish.

ADA-Compliant Handrails

In addition to residential applications, we provide ADA-compliant handrails for ramps and walkways in commercial and public-access properties. These systems include smooth gripping surfaces, continuous loops, and non-slip finishes to meet accessibility standards.

Gates for Entry, Access, and Security

We fabricate a wide range of aluminum gates to secure driveways, pool areas, private walkways, and lanai entries. Our gates are custom-built for each site and available in both manual and automated configurations.

Pedestrian Entry Gates

Entry gates provide access control for walkways, porches, and screened enclosures. These gates are often paired with our railing systems for a cohesive design. Features include:


  • Self-closing hinges and locking latches

Ideal for safety and compliance, especially for pool enclosures.


  • Decorative panel inserts

Laser-cut patterns, horizontal slats, or custom graphics add unique design elements to otherwise simple access gates.


  • Powder-coated finishes

Available in black, bronze, white, and custom colors to match your home or business exterior.

  • A wrought iron gate is open in front of a white fence.

  • A white gate leading to a pool with a sign on it.

Pool Safety Gates

Florida Building Code requires gated access to pool areas for safety. Our pool gates are fabricated to meet state requirements for height, latch height, and direction of swing. These gates are commonly integrated into larger pool enclosures and fencing systems and include:


  • Magnetic, self-latching hardware

Ensures the gate closes and latches automatically to restrict unsupervised access.


  • Mesh or picket infill options

Depending on visibility and design preference, we offer full-frame mesh screens or aluminum pickets that match your enclosure.


  • Driveway and Perimeter Gates

For larger access points, we build driveway gates that range from simple swing gates to complex cantilever and sliding systems. While most residential driveway gates are manually operated, we can integrate gate automation with keypad entry, remote control, or smart access systems upon request.

Durable Materials Built for Florida Conditions

Aluminum Specialist Inc uses extruded aluminum with baked-on powder coat finishes, making our railings and gates ideal for the Homestead & Florida City, FL climate. Unlike steel, aluminum won’t rust or corrode even in coastal environments. All welds, fasteners, and post anchors are selected for long-term resistance to moisture and UV exposure.

Anchoring and Installation

We secure railings and gates using heavy-duty brackets, concrete wedge anchors, and hidden mount systems that prevent wobbling or movement over time. For installations on masonry, pavers, or wood decking, we adjust our anchoring method to ensure a stable and permanent fit without damaging the underlying material.

Code Compliance and Permitting

Local codes dictate specific dimensions and safety requirements for guardrails and gates. In Florida City and Miami-Dade County, our systems meet:


  • Handrail and guardrail spacing

Limits on maximum opening sizes between balusters or pickets to prevent falls or entrapment.


  • Structural load requirements

Wind load and weight resistance criteria for elevated balconies or stairways.


  • Pool safety regulations

Height, latch operation, and access control features as mandated by the Florida Building Code.


We handle all necessary permitting and inspections as part of our service process, ensuring each installation passes final review with local authorities.

  • Replacement of damaged pickets or panels

We match and fabricate replacement components to restore appearance and function.


  • Re-anchoring and stabilization
