We provide installation services for structural steel, joist, decking, miscellaneous steel, ornamental iron work, glass railings, stairs and railings, stainless steel, and aluminum.

All employees are required to be current on drug testing and safety training with MUST (Management and Unions Serving Together). Our general foremen are certified as Safety Trained Supervisors in Construction (STSC) through the Board of Certified Safety Professionals.
To keep up with the fast-paced construction world, Redinger Steel foremen carry tablets in the field so that they can stay informed while on site. Their tablets contain links to all drawings, safety documents, MSDS forms, and site-specific documentation. This allows them to solve problems quickly and keep open lines of communication with the company and with our customers.
