A railing is the part of a deck people lean on, so it has to be right. It's also the part you see from across the yard, so it should look right too.
We install new railings and replace old ones in wood, composite, aluminum, steel and cable. Each has its own look, price and upkeep, and some block the view far less than others, which matters if your deck faces mountains or a pool.
Post attachment is where railings succeed or fail. We fix posts to the frame, not just the decking, and set height and spacing to meet the building code for your city.
What's included
- Wood, composite, aluminum, steel and cable options
- Posts anchored to the deck frame
- Stair railings and graspable handrails

Frequently asked questions
Deck Railing Installation: what people ask.
Pressure-treated wood, low-maintenance composite, aluminum, steel and stainless cable. Each differs in appearance, upkeep and cost.
Wood is the most affordable and needs the most care. Composite matches a composite deck and never needs staining. Aluminum is strong, rust-free and very low maintenance. Cable keeps the view most open. We help you choose the one that suits your deck, your home and your budget.
Typically one to three days. Small, straightforward jobs are quicker. Larger decks, stairs and custom designs take a little longer. Ordering time for the railing system comes before that and varies by product.
It depends on the work and on your city. Replacing a railing like for like often does not need one. New railings on a raised deck are part of the deck's structure and must meet code for height, strength and the size of openings whether or not a permit is required.
We explain what applies to your project and help with any paperwork.
Look at the architecture of the house, the deck material and what you want to see from the deck. Sleek cable or aluminum suits a modern home. Wood or a wrought-iron look suits a more traditional one. If the deck faces mountains or a pool, a more open railing keeps that view.
We show you examples of each and recommend what fits your home and yard.
Building codes generally require a guardrail once a deck is more than 30 inches above the ground, and stairs need a handrail you can grip. Many people want a railing on lower decks too, for children, for older family members or simply to define the space. We confirm the requirement at your address.
Usually, yes. New posts must be anchored into sound framing, so we check the condition of the frame first. If it is solid, a new railing can transform the look and safety of an older deck.
