Areas We Serve
Frequently Asked — Railings
Is cable railing up to code?
Yes, when built correctly: cables spaced so a 4-inch sphere cannot pass, guardrail height to your jurisdiction, and load-rated posts. We build to those standards.
Will the cables sag over time?
Not with proper fittings, tensioners, and correctly anchored posts. Sagging comes from cheap hardware or under-built posts — which we avoid.
Can you add a railing to my existing deck?
Often yes, if the framing can take the post anchoring and load. We assess the structure first and reinforce if needed.
Cable, metal, glass or wood?
Cable for an open modern view, metal for strength and clean lines, glass for a frameless premium look, wood to match a deck. We will walk you through all four.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes — craftsmanship warranty plus the manufacturer warranty on posts, cable and hardware.
