Deck Railings, Stairs & Safety Upgrades

Safety Comes First

Railings and stairs are the most important safety features on your deck. Loose railings, wobbly balusters, or uneven stairs create serious fall hazards. Syracuse building codes have specific requirements for railing height, spacing, and strength to protect you and your family. If your deck was built years ago, it might not meet current standards.

We install railings and stairs that meet all local codes while looking beautiful. Whether you need to replace old, worn railings or add safety features to a deck that never had them, we have solutions that work with your existing structure. Safety upgrades also increase your home value and give you peace of mind every time someone uses your deck.

Railing and Stair Options

The right railings transform your deck from plain to stunning. We offer several styles and materials to match your home and budget:

• Wood railings: Classic look that matches wood decks, available in various styles from simple to ornate
• Composite railings: Low maintenance option that never needs painting or staining
• Metal railings: Modern aluminum or steel designs with powder-coated finishes
• Glass panel railings: Sleek, contemporary style that preserves views
• Cable railings: Minimalist horizontal cables for an open, airy feel
• Combination styles: Mix materials like wood posts with metal balusters for unique looks

Stair Construction and Repairs

Deck stairs take more abuse than any other part of your deck. They get used constantly and bear the full impact of every step. We build stairs with strong stringers, solid treads, and proper rise and run measurements for comfortable, safe use. Handrails get anchored securely so they stay solid under weight.

If your current stairs are too steep, too narrow, or just feel unsafe, we can rebuild them to code. Wider stairs make it easier to carry things up and down. Better lighting improves safety at night. Non-slip treads help prevent falls in wet or icy conditions common in Syracuse.

Upgrading Existing Decks

You do not need a complete deck replacement to get better railings and stairs. We can remove old railings and install new ones on your existing deck. This is one of the most cost-effective ways to update your outdoor space. New railings change the entire look of your deck while addressing any safety concerns.

If you recently had a new composite deck installed or completed deck repairs, upgrading your railings finishes the project with style. We match new railings to your deck material and home architecture for a cohesive look.

Syracuse homeowners choose us for railing and stair projects because we understand local codes, work efficiently, and deliver results that look professional. Your deck becomes safer and more attractive without breaking the bank.
