Safety Matters on Your Deck

Your deck should be a safe place for family and friends to gather. Railings and stairs are not just add-ons. They are critical safety features that protect people from falls and injuries. If your deck is more than 30 inches off the ground, building codes require railings. Even lower decks benefit from railings to provide stability and peace of mind.

We see too many decks in San Tan Valley with wobbly railings, uneven stairs, or outdated safety features. Maybe your railings are loose or rotting. Perhaps your stairs lack proper handrails. These are not problems to put off. We specialize in bringing decks up to current safety standards while improving their appearance at the same time.

Railing Styles and Materials

Railings have come a long way from basic wood spindles. Today you have options that combine safety, durability, and great looks. Here are the most popular choices we install:

  • Wood railings: Classic look that matches traditional wood decks
  • Composite railings: Low-maintenance option in various colors
  • Metal railings: Aluminum or steel for modern, sleek appearance
  • Cable railings: Contemporary style with unobstructed views
  • Glass panel railings: Maximum visibility and wind protection
  • Combination systems: Mix materials for custom designs

The right railing depends on your deck style, budget, and maintenance preferences. Wood railings give you traditional beauty but need regular care. Composite and metal railings require almost no maintenance and last longer. Cable and glass railings work great if you want to preserve views while maintaining safety. We help you explore options and choose what works best for your home.

Safe and Sturdy Deck Stairs

Stairs are where most deck accidents happen, so getting them right matters. We build deck stairs that meet code requirements for tread depth, riser height, and handrail placement. Consistent step dimensions help prevent trips and falls. Sturdy handrails give people something secure to grab.

Beyond safety, well-designed stairs improve your deck's functionality and curb appeal. We can add stairs in multiple locations for easy access to your yard. Wider stairs create a grand entrance for entertaining. Integrated lighting makes stairs safer at night. Whether you need to replace rickety old stairs or add new access points to an existing custom deck, we have you covered.

Additional Safety Upgrades We Offer

Railings and stairs are just the start. We offer several upgrades that make your deck safer and more enjoyable. Deck lighting illuminates railings, stairs, and walking surfaces so people can navigate safely after dark. Anti-slip strips or coatings on stairs and decking reduce the risk of slipping when surfaces get wet.

If you have an older deck, we can update it to meet current building codes. Building standards have improved over the years, and your deck might not meet today's requirements. We inspect your deck and identify any safety concerns. Then we provide options to bring everything up to code. This protects your family and can help if you ever decide to sell your home.
