There are a lot of cable railing companies out there. Most of the big box names are just selling the same imported kits under different labels — mass-produced parts shipped from overseas and packaged to look different from one another.
And then there are companies like us — Paul Kraft MPLS — where everything is built in-house, by real craftspeople, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
If you’re comparing your options, here’s why it pays to choose a cable railing company that actually makes your railing.
1. Made in the USA, Built by Craftspeople
We’re not a distributor or a reseller. We’re a small, independent shop — and we do it all:
- Weld aluminum posts in-house
- Cut and prep top rails to your specs
- Crimp stainless steel cables one at a time
- Pack and ship every order ourselves
Your railing isn’t one of 10,000 shipped from a factory overseas. It’s one of one — made for you, by people who take pride in their work.
2. Personal Attention at Every Step
Most cable railing companies sell prepackaged kits. Once you click “buy now,” you’re on your own.
Not here.
When you work with us:
- You send photos and basic measurements
- We custom-build your system around your space
- We walk you through every step (and answer the phone if you call)
It’s a throwback approach — one customer, one project, real service.
3. Real Materials. No Filler. No Plastic.
We use:
- Welded aluminum posts (steel available by request)
- Powder-coated finishes in matte black, bronze, and more
- Marine-grade stainless cable
There’s no plastic, no stamped brackets, no “good enough.” Just strong, simple, honest construction built to last.
4. Clean, Modern Design That’s Meant to Be Seen
Cable railings aren’t just functional — they’re a visual feature. Whether it’s a rooftop patio, mountain deck, or minimalist stairway, the details matter.
Our railing systems are:
- Slim
- Uncluttered
- View-friendly
- Custom fit for each project
You don’t get that with stock parts.
5. Built to Order. Shipped Fast.
We build your railing in two shipments:
- Posts and top rail — shipped first, with instructions
- Cables — cut only after you install the rail and send final measurements
That’s how we make sure the fit is perfect — and how we avoid the mistakes so common with pre-cut kits.
Choose a Cable Railing Company That Still Cares About the Craft
We’re not the biggest cable railing company out there — and that’s the point.
At Paul Kraft MPLS, we build every railing ourselves, take pride in every weld, and treat every customer like the only one we’ve got.
