Today, we’re proud to be a family-owned business known for precision, reliability, and integrity. From high-end architectural railings to robust industrial structures, our work stands as a testament to decades of expertise and trust.

Floyd Moore – Owner/President
Floyd Moore is the Owner and President of South Anna Stair and Rail, a respected Class A Miscellaneous Metals contractor serving Central Virginia and beyond. Floyd began his career in the steel construction industry in 1981 as a fabricator. Over the years, he progressed through every major role in the business—from field and shop manager to estimator, project manager, and ultimately Vice President—earning a reputation for quality workmanship, leadership, and integrity.
In 1995, drawing on this deep industry experience and a desire to build something of his own, Floyd founded South Anna Stair and Rail. What began in a modest shop with just a few employees quickly grew into a company recognized for its dependability, precision, and professionalism. Under Floyd’s leadership, South Anna has successfully weathered multiple economic downturns and has become the trusted partner of choice for both general contractors and structural steel subcontractors throughout Central Virginia, the I-95 corridor, Washington D.C., and into North Carolina.
Floyd attributes South Anna’s longevity and growth to lasting relationships built on trust, consistent performance, and a commitment to doing the job right. Today, he continues to guide the company’s operations and growth, keeping the same values at the core that shaped its beginning.
Floyd has been married to his wife Teresa since 1978, and together they’ve lived in Hanover County for decades. They are proud parents to a daughter who works as a Physician Assistant in Winchester, Virginia, and proud grandparents to two wonderful grandchildren. Outside of work, Floyd enjoys time at his home on the Rappahannock River, listening to good music, and sharing stories with lifelong friends.
Teresa Moore- Treasurer/Secretary
Teresa Moore has played an integral role in the success of South Anna Stair and Rail since its founding in 1995 by her husband, Floyd Moore. Married in 1978, Floyd and Teresa have shared more than 45 years together, building a life grounded in faith, family, and a strong work ethic.
At the time the company was incorporated, Floyd was serving as Vice President for a local structural steel company, and Teresa was working with a regional, privately owned commercial general contractor. Drawing on her background in business and administration, Teresa became essential to South Anna’s financial and operational foundation in its early years, supporting Floyd’s vision while managing the day-to-day administrative needs of a growing company.
While Floyd is the sole owner of South Anna, Teresa’s behind-the-scenes leadership has helped the company grow into the well-respected business it is today. She continues to oversee general administration, even as she has developed a successful career in real estate. Teresa is one of the owners of the Long & Foster Ashland Office, where she is known for her professionalism, dedication, and community focus.
In her free time, Teresa enjoys relaxing at the beach, playing golf, and taking peaceful cruises on the Rappahannock River, where she and Floyd own a second home.
