Secure, Stylish Access That Makes the Whole Deck Work

Custom Deck Railings & Stairs in New York

Code-Compliant Safety That Looks Great Too

Why Railings and Stairs Deserve Real Attention

Deck stairs and railings aren’t afterthoughts. They handle daily wear, protect family and guests, and define the edge of your space. We frame every stair run to spec and install guardrails and handrails that exceed New York code. From basic treated lumber to high-end metal or cable, we build options that match your deck and last for years.

Every Step Counts

What We Include in Every Railing & Stair Project

We start with proper rise/run ratios, anchoring, and secure rail posts. All materials are selected for safety, durability, and style—from modern to classic.

  • Custom-built stairs with landings, turns, or straight runs

  • Railings in wood, metal, composite, or cable

  • Fully code-compliant heights, spacing, and attachment

Not Just a Railing—A Key Part of the Deck

Built to Support, Styled to Match

We don’t just screw on rails. We engineer every post, bracket, and baluster to handle daily force and seasonal shifts. Rails are matched to your deck style—horizontal lines for a modern look, classic spindles for a traditional feel, or open views with cable or glass. Every stair is framed for safety and finished for beauty.

Stairs That Fit the Way You Move

Need stairs from the yard, the patio, or another deck level? We build stairs that work with your layout and your life. From wide platforms to compact switchbacks, each staircase is framed to support real use—no wobble, no shortcuts. We also build landings, handrails, and lighting into every plan.

Safe in Every Season

Materials That Perform Year-Round in New York

Rain, snow, ice, and time—our stairs and railings are built to withstand them all. We offer rot-resistant woods, powder-coated aluminum, stainless cable, and composite systems that don’t warp, peel, or rust. Our installs resist shifting and settling over time, so your stairs stay secure and rails stay tight.

Deck Stair & Railing Questions

What New Yorkers Ask Before Upgrading

Here are the top questions we get about installing deck railings and stairs.

Do I need new stairs to upgrade my railing?

Not always. We inspect framing to see if new rails can be installed safely without rebuilding.

What railing styles do you offer?

Wood, aluminum, cable, composite, and combinations. We build to match your deck.

Are railings required by code?

Yes—any deck over 30 inches high must have guardrails, and stairs require handrails.

Can you add lighting to stairs or railings?

Yes. We install post cap, tread, or under-rail lighting to improve safety and looks.
