Deck Railings, Stairs & Safety Upgrades
Enhance your deck's safety and style with professional railing installation and safety upgrades.
Safety and Style Combined
Railings are not just decorative features. They keep your family and guests safe while adding character to your outdoor space. We install railings and stairs throughout Sunrise Manor that meet all building codes while looking great with your home's style. Whether you need to replace old, loose railings or add safety features to a deck that never had them, we handle every detail professionally.
Building codes require railings on any deck more than 30 inches above ground level. The railings must be at least 36 inches high and have balusters spaced no more than 4 inches apart to prevent children from slipping through. We make sure your deck project meets these requirements while giving you options that match your vision.
Railing Style Options
- •Traditional wood balusters: Classic look that matches wood decks perfectly
- •Metal balusters: Sleek aluminum or steel that never needs painting
- •Cable railings: Modern look with nearly invisible cables for unobstructed views
- •Glass panels: Contemporary design that maximizes sightlines
- •Composite railings: Low-maintenance option in many colors
Stairs and Safety Upgrades
Deck stairs need to be solid and safe. We build stairs with proper rise and run measurements that make walking up and down comfortable and secure. Each step gets sturdy railings, and we make sure treads are slip-resistant. If your existing stairs feel shaky or uneven, we rebuild them to current code standards.
Safety upgrades go beyond just railings and stairs. We can add lighting along stair edges and under railings so your deck is safe at night. Non-slip coatings on steps prevent slips in wet weather. If you have an older deck, we inspect the entire structure and recommend upgrades that bring everything up to modern safety standards. These improvements protect your family and increase your home's value.
When to Replace Railings
If your railings wobble when you lean on them, it is time for replacement. Loose railings are dangerous and often mean the posts have rotted or the connections have failed. We also replace railings that do not meet current code requirements, especially on older decks. Upgrading your railings improves safety and gives your entire deck a fresh, updated appearance.
Many homeowners replace railings when they want to change their deck's look. Switching from wood to cable railings opens up views, while adding composite railings means no more staining and painting. We can match new railings to your existing wood deck or composite deck seamlessly.
