EXTERIOR SERVICE
Code-compliant railings built for safety and longevity.
Aluminum, composite, wood and cable railings — built for safety and built to last. We bring decks and porches up to current code with proper post anchoring, baluster spacing and rail height. Plus accessibility ramps and ADA-compliant grab systems.
EARLY WARNING
things to consider
01Warning 01
Loose or Wobbly Posts
A catastrophic structural failure waiting to happen; usually caused by rotted wood blocking or failing fasteners at the base connection.
02Warning 02
Wide Balaustre Spacing
If vertical or horizontal openings allow a 4-inch sphere to pass through, the system poses an immediate, severe child safety hazard.
03Warning 03
Rust & Rotted Connections
Corroded lag screws or soft wood at connection points mean the entire system has lost its ability to arrest a fall.
04Warning 04
Improper Handrail Grip
Out-of-code top rails that are too wide or lack a continuous graspable profile make stairways dangerous for daily use.
PROCESS
How the job runs, start to finish.
Start
Step 01
Discovery Consultation
30-minute overview to discuss linear footage, post mounting preferences (surface or fascia), and architectural style.
Step 02
Technical Site Audit
On-site 1-2 hours. Meticulous measurement of stair angles, span configurations, and structural blocking conditions. Fee credited back upon sign-off.
Step 03
Fixed-Price Proposal
Itemized, line-by-line all-inclusive quote valid for 60 days. Explicitly states compliance with local residential or commercial codes.
Step 04
Pre-Construction Prep
Material approval matching, final layout engineering, factory ordering, and installation crew routing.
Step 05
The Engineering Build
High-velocity execution. Typical residential deck or stair railing package is fully completed, structural-tested, and signed off in 2-4 days.

Questions about Railings
Aluminum or composite railing?
Aluminum is lighter, rust-proof, and cheaper — great for most decks and porches. Composite (Trex-style) matches your deck boards for a unified look and costs more. Wood is traditional but needs yearly maintenance. Cable and glass are premium options for modern homes
What height do I need?
Connecticut code requires 36" for residential decks and porches, 42" for commercial or where the drop exceeds 6 feet. Stair railings must be 34-38" measured from the nosing. We build to code minimum or higher if you prefer
Can you replace just the balusters?
Yes, if the posts and top rail are solid. We swap wood balusters for aluminum or composite, upgrade to cable infill, or change the entire top rail. Usually a 1-day job for a standard staircase
Do railings need to be permitted?
Yes, in most Connecticut towns any railing replacement on a deck or stair requires a building permit to verify post anchoring, baluster spacing, and height compliance. We handle the permit and inspection
