Meeting code height and spacing requirements
Railing height and baluster spacing have specific code requirements. We build to code so the deck passes inspection and stays safe.
Wood, composite, and cable options
Traditional wood balusters, low-maintenance composite railing, or modern cable railing for an open view, each has different cost and maintenance tradeoffs we can walk through.
Post attachment done right
A railing is only as strong as how the posts are attached to the deck frame. We use proper hardware and blocking, not just a few screws into the rim joist.
Matching or contrasting the decking
Railing can match the decking material for a uniform look, or contrast intentionally for a design accent. We'll help you decide.

Is railing required on my deck?
Most codes require railing above a certain deck height, typically 30 inches. We'll confirm the requirement for your project.
Can you install cable railing?
Yes, cable railing is a popular option for an open view while still meeting code.
How strong does railing post attachment need to be?
Railing posts take real lateral force from people leaning on them. We use proper structural hardware, not just surface screws.
