More Than a Finishing Touch — It’s a Key Safety Feature

What You Get with Our Railing & Stair Builds

Our railings and stairs aren’t just about looks—they’re structural, secure, and built to last. We construct staircases with solid stringers, slip-resistant treads, and sturdy handrails. Our railing systems meet required heights and spacing, and are anchored to withstand wind and wear. From basic cedar pickets to sleek horizontal metal rails, every component is chosen for performance and aesthetics.

  • Safe stair geometry with code-compliant treads and risers

  • Aluminum, wood, composite, cable, and mixed-material rails

  • Posts anchored with blocking and weatherproof hardware

From Clean Lines to Classic Carved Profiles

Railing Styles and Stair Designs to Match Any Look

We offer a wide variety of railing profiles, post caps, baluster types, and stair layouts. Whether you want open risers, box steps, flared stairs, or lighting built into the posts, we’ll customize the structure to match your vision. Utah homeowners love the durability of composite and the clean look of horizontal rails, while others prefer classic wood builds. Every system we install is pre-approved for safety and engineered to handle high-traffic use.

Ready for Utah’s Climate and Daily Use

Materials That Stay Strong Through Snow, Sun & Foot Traffic

Our railings and stairs are built with climate-resistant materials suited for Utah’s elevation, freeze-thaw cycles, and UV exposure. We offer powder-coated steel, sealed cedar, and composite systems that resist warping, splitting, and rust. Stair treads are selected for slip resistance and durability. All hardware is corrosion-resistant and installed with proper flashing to prevent rot or water damage.

Let Us Handle the Technical Details

Code Compliance, Permits & Load Ratings Included

Deck railings and stairs must meet specific height, spacing, and load-bearing rules in Utah. We build to IRC standards, ensuring every post, handrail, and riser is up to code. For decks over certain heights or in regulated zones, we provide permit-ready drawings and manage city approvals. Whether replacing a worn-out railing or adding new stairs to a raised deck, we ensure your build passes inspection and performs safely.

Your Questions About Deck Railings & Stairs, Answered

FAQ: Custom Deck Stairs & Railings in Utah

From design to safety, here are common questions Utah homeowners ask us about railings and stairs.

Question 1: What’s the required height for deck railings in Utah?

Most decks over 30" above grade require a 36" high railing. We build to code for every city and deck type.

Question 2: Can I mix materials, like wood posts with metal rails?

Absolutely. We offer blended systems that combine strength, style, and affordability.

Question 3: Do stairs need lighting or handrails?

Handrails are required for stairs over certain heights. Lighting is optional but recommended—especially for safety at night.

Question 4: Can you replace just the railing without changing the deck?

Yes. We often upgrade outdated or damaged railings while preserving the existing deck structure.
