Crafted With Purpose. Build to Last
BAMPRO is a Durham, NC-based metal fabrication studio specializing in custom staircases, railings, and architectural metalwork for residential and commercial projects across the Triangle and beyond. We work directly with architects, interior designers, contractors, and discerning homeowners who want something more than off-the-shelf — something made with intention, precision, and a craftsman's eye.
Our Story
BAMPRO was built the hard way — one project at a time, over more than 13 years of fabricating in North Carolina and 30 years total .
Ben, the founder, has been working with metal for over 30 years.
What began as a one-man operation focused on residential staircases has grown into a full fabrication studio capable of handling everything from custom mono-stringer staircases in high-end homes to large-scale commercial projects. BAMPRO serves contractors, architects, interior designers, and property developers throughout the Triangle — with a team, tools, and process built for projects of any scale.
What Sets Us Apart
Ben isn't just a fabricator — he's a problem solver with an artist's sensibility and an engineer's discipline. Other metal workers call him when they hit a curved staircase they can't calculate. Designers bring him in when they need a piece that's structural and sculptural at the same time. He has a gift for bridging the gap between what a client envisions and what can actually be built — and built to code.
Every project at BAMPRO starts with a conversation. We visit the site. We listen. We look at what the space needs, what the designer is going for, and what will stand up over time. Whether we're working from an architect's drawings or helping a homeowner figure out what they even want, we bring the same level of care to every engagement.
The materials we work with — metal, wood, glass, cable — are chosen for how they interact with light, space, and use over decades. A staircase isn't just a way to get from one floor to the next. In the right hands, it's the first thing you see when you walk into a home. It sets the tone for everything else.
What we build
-
Staircases & Stair Systems
Mono-stringer, spiral, industrial, and fully custom staircase systems for residential and commercial projects. We work from architect drawings or design with you from scratch — built to code, built to last.
-
Railings & Balusters
Metal, wood, glass, and cable railing systems for interiors, exteriors, and commercial applications. Whether you need a single residential railing or hundreds of linear feet for a commercial job, we deliver consistent quality at any scale.
-
Custom Fabrication
Pergolas, fire pits, architectural overhangs, furniture, and one-of-a-kind metalwork that doesn't fit a catalog. If you can sketch it or describe it, we can figure out how to build it.
Our Team & Future
We're a growing team of skilled fabricators who take our work seriously. We're always looking for talented people who bring the same standards we hold ourselves to — people who understand that what we do lasts long after the job is done.
BAMPRO is actively expanding. We're building toward a future where our most in-demand products are available as manufactured components — shipped anywhere, built to spec, designed for easy installation. But even as we scale, the commitment to quality and craft stays the same.
