Do Deck Railings Have to Be Fascia-Mounted Due to Code?
Whether you are a homeowner, a builder, or a contractor, it is essential to understand building codes. When it comes to deck railings, you have to install a fascia-mounted system if the deck is new. However, if you are replacing an existing railing, you can use a deck mount railing system.

Can You Use Deck Mount Railing with Vinyl Decking?
We do not advise using deck mounting for your railing when opting for vinyl. The reason is simple: You will end up puncturing the vinyl deck when you fasten it. You can opt for this sort of mounting, but we recommend caulking the holes to avoid moisture penetration.

Can I Use Picket, Glass, Or Topless on One Deck?
The world is your oyster when it comes to building your deck railing. That means you can mix and match your heart’s content. As long as they work well together, they’ll look great. Our customers often opt for picket railings on the sides of their deck and a glass railing on the front for aesthetic purposes. We can help you select the best option for your deck.

Can I Purchase the Posts and Install the Deck Railing Myself?
You certainly can. But we are also noted for our skill as installers. If you do not want to risk doing the job incorrectly, or you do not have the time to work on the project yourself, we can come to your property and take care of the installation ourselves. Our team is skilled at doing so quickly so you can get back to enjoying your deck.

What Kind of Deck Railings Do You Fabricate?
We pride ourselves on offering our customers plenty of choices. We know no two customers are alike – and neither are their tastes. So we provide a range of options, including glass panel systems, picket systems, topless glass, and customized solutions. During your consultation, we can figure out what the best fit will be for your needs.

Do You Offer Custom Designs?
Our team offers custom design options and is skilled at meeting our customers’ specifications to the letter. We ask that you submit a sketch of your ideas with the dimensions. Doing so will allow our estimators to come up with a price for your custom project.

What Kind of Railing Is Best for A Deck or Patio?
For the most part, it depends entirely on your tastes and desires. We can help you select your railing, though. We are skilled at listening to our clients and figuring out what they want – even if they aren’t sure. We can show examples of our work to help guide you to an option that suits your needs.
