Deck Railings, Stairs & Safety Upgrades
Keep your family safe with professional railings and stairs that meet all safety codes.
Safety Features That Protect What Matters Most
Your deck might look great, but if the railings wobble or the stairs feel uneven, you have a problem. Safety should never be an afterthought when it comes to elevated outdoor spaces. We install railings and stairs that meet Tennessee building codes and give you peace of mind every time your family steps outside.
Many homeowners in Smyrna call us after noticing loose railings or stairs that have become unsafe over time. Wood rots, metal rusts, and poor installation leads to dangerous situations. We fix these issues with quality materials and expert craftsmanship. Your outdoor living space should be a place where you feel comfortable, not concerned about accidents.
Whether you need to replace existing railings, add safety features to an older deck, or install stairs that connect your deck to your yard, we handle every aspect of the work. You get structures built to last and designed to keep everyone safe.
Railing Options for Every Style and Budget
Not all railings look the same or cost the same. We offer several options so you can pick what works for your home and your wallet. Each material has its own benefits, and we help you understand the differences.
- Wood Railings: Traditional and affordable. Wood railings match classic deck designs and can be painted or stained to suit your taste. They require regular maintenance to prevent rot and insect damage.
- Composite Railings: Low maintenance and durable. Composite materials resist fading, warping, and cracking. They cost more upfront but save you time and money over the years.
- Metal Railings: Modern and sleek. Aluminum and steel railings offer a contemporary look and exceptional strength. They work well for properties that want a clean, minimalist appearance.
- Glass Panel Railings: Unobstructed views and upscale appeal. Glass panels keep your deck open and airy while meeting safety requirements. Perfect for homes with scenic views.
We walk you through these options during your consultation. You see samples, discuss costs, and make an informed decision. Your railings should match your home and fit your lifestyle.
Stairs Built to Code and Comfort
Deck stairs might seem simple, but building them correctly takes precision and experience. The rise and run of each step must be consistent. Handrails need to be at the right height. Treads should be wide enough to feel natural when you walk up or down. Get any of these details wrong, and you end up with stairs that feel awkward or unsafe.
We calculate everything before we cut a single board. Tennessee building codes set minimum standards for stair construction, but we often exceed those requirements. Why? Because we want your stairs to last decades, not just pass inspection. Quality lumber, proper fasteners, and attention to detail make all the difference.
Many homes in Smyrna sit on sloped lots, which means elevated decks need longer staircases. We handle these situations regularly and know how to build stairs that feel stable no matter how high your deck sits. If you need repairs to existing stairs, we can rebuild them properly without tearing down your entire deck.
Upgrade Your Deck Safety Features
Older decks often lack the safety features we consider standard today. If your deck was built more than 10 years ago, it might not meet current building codes. Railings might be spaced too far apart, handrails might be missing, or the entire structure might need reinforcement.
We perform safety inspections and recommend upgrades based on what we find. Sometimes a simple railing replacement solves the problem. Other times, we need to reinforce the deck frame or rebuild stairs from scratch. Whatever your deck needs, we provide honest assessments and clear pricing.
Adding safety features does not mean sacrificing style. Modern railing systems come in dozens of designs and colors. You can upgrade your deck safety while improving its appearance at the same time. Many Smyrna homeowners are surprised by how much better their deck looks after we install new railings and stairs.
If you have kids or pets, safety becomes even more important. Proper railing spacing prevents small children from slipping through gaps. Secure handrails give everyone something to grab when using the stairs. We build with families in mind, not just building codes.
