Railing

From standard wood railing with wood balusters, standard vinyl or PVC rails, Trex Select, Trex Transcend Composite Rails, or Trex Signature Aluminum railings and beyond, we offer a wide range of railing products to accommodate your budget or your stylish tastes. Railing will always be installed per the latest codes to ensure safety and longevity.

Railing Is the Most Visible Part of a Deck

You look at the decking under your feet maybe once a day. You look at the railing every time you glance out a back window, and so does everyone who walks into the yard. Railing is also the component with the widest price spread on the whole project, which makes it the easiest place either to save real money or to completely change how the deck reads.

TimberTech and AZEK Railing

We install the full TimberTech railing line, and it covers far more ground than most homeowners expect.

• TimberTech Advantage Rail, formerly RadianceRail Express. Mid-tier composite with hidden brackets and no visible routing, carrying a 25-year limited warranty. Matte White, Matte Black, or Matte Espresso.
• TimberTech Classic Composite Series. Available in 6, 8, and 10 foot sections with your choice of infill: composite balusters, square or round aluminum balusters, CableRail by Feeney, or a glass channel kit. The top rail profile is picked alongside it, and the profile affects the colors available.
• TimberTech Statement Rail and Pinnacle Rail. Both are aluminum-reinforced PVC in White with a 25-year limited warranty. Statement has sharp corners and clean modern lines. Pinnacle has a traditional milled-wood look with square PVC or Chippendale panel infill.
• TimberTech Impression Rail Express. Powder-coated aluminum panel railing in White, Black, or Dark Bronze, with aluminum baluster, glass, or cable infill.
• TimberTech Fulton Rail. Powder-coated steel with narrow balusters for a less obstructed view. Black, with a 15-year residential limited warranty.
• TimberTech Reliance Rail. Premium vinyl in Matte White, Khaki, or Black.

If you are building the deck surface in TimberTech or AZEK, staying inside the same family means the rail colors were designed against the board colors rather than matched by eye.

Trex Railing

We install Trex railing just as often, and it pairs naturally with a Trex deck. Trex Select is a clean composite rail in Classic or T-rail profile, in Classic White or Charcoal Black. Trex Enhance comes as composite or as an entry-level steel in Charcoal Black. Trex Signature is the aluminum system, with baluster, glass, mesh, or rod infill in Charcoal Black, Burnished Bronze, or Classic White.

Metal, Cable, and Glass

When the view is the reason you are building the deck, the railing should get out of the way. Key-Link American Series aluminum gives you a classic profile with a wide color range including Textured Black, Textured White, Textured Bronze, Matte Black, Matte White, and Oil Rubbed Bronze. Fortress Fe26 is pre-welded steel with the look of traditional wrought iron, in Gloss Black, Black Sand, or Antique Bronze. Cable and glass infill are available across several of the systems above, and both read as almost nothing from inside the house.

Wood, Vinyl, and Privacy

A classic pressure-treated rail is still the most economical option: 4×4 posts, 2×2 balusters, and 2×4 rails in Southern Yellow Pine, ready to paint or stain. We also build a hybrid, running white vinyl railing on pressure-treated framing, which gets you a low-maintenance rail at a working price. And where the problem is not safety but a neighbor, the RDI HideAway structural privacy railing uses powder-coated aluminum framing with interlocking vinyl privacy infill panels to block a sightline while still being a code-compliant guardrail.

Where Railing Meets Stairs and Lighting

Two details get forgotten until it is too late. The first is a graspable handrail on the stairs, which we run as an 8-foot ADA aluminum handrail with 90-degree wall returns, one bundle for roughly every 7 feet of stair length. The second is lighting, because most of these systems accept post cap and rail-mounted fixtures, and the wiring is far easier to conceal while the railing is going up than after.

How Railing Gets Priced

Railing is quoted per section, so the number moves with the perimeter of the deck and the number of stair runs, not with square footage. Our estimates carry a composite Trex Select section as the standard allowance, and any upgrade is priced as the difference rather than from scratch, so you can see exactly what stepping up to a TimberTech or an aluminum system actually costs.
