Safe Steps and Solid Boundaries

Deck Railings & Stair Installation in Tennessee

More Than Looks—These Are Load-Bearing

WHY PROPER RAILING AND STAIR CONSTRUCTION MATTERS

Every railing we build is engineered for support and durability. Stairs are framed for stable treads and smooth transitions. From handrails to guardrails, we follow exact spacing, height, and attachment rules to meet local code. Whether you're adding a second-level staircase or upgrading to modern cable rails, our team ensures it’s done right, every time.

Strong, Code-Compliant, and Customizable

How We Build Safe and Stylish Transitions

Railings and stairs take daily wear—and must hold up to time, weather, and movement. We build every post, picket, tread, and handrail with structural integrity in mind. Whether you're adding stairs to a raised deck or replacing an old railing system, we match materials and style while ensuring safety with proper riser heights, spacing, and secure fasteners.

  • Closed, open, or wrapped stringer stair designs

Safety First, Always

Railings and Stairs That Meet Every Code

Deck stairs and railings must meet specific height, spacing, and load standards. We follow Tennessee building codes exactly—ensuring all treads are even, rail posts are reinforced, and baluster spacing is child-safe. From one-step landings to full wrap-around staircases, our builds are safe, stable, and properly permitted.

Durability Meets Design

Materials That Look Great and Last

We offer a range of materials to match your deck’s style and your lifestyle. Choose traditional wood railings for a natural finish, aluminum for low maintenance, or composite for color-matched durability. For modern aesthetics, cable railing provides clear views with clean lines. We also offer matching stair materials and lighting options to tie it all together.

Built for Every Height, Width, and Level

Custom Railing and Stair Configurations

No two decks are the same—and your stairs and railings shouldn’t be either. We design multi-run staircases, landings, ADA-compliant handrails, and angled rail systems for slopes or unique layouts. Whether your deck is 12 inches or 12 feet off the ground, we ensure seamless transitions and fully custom fits.

Why Our Railings & Stairs Stand Out

  • Code-Compliant Every Time: Our builds meet all spacing, height, and load-bearing safety standards.

  • Material Options: Choose from wood, composite, metal, cable, or mixed materials.

  • Smooth, Even Tread Work: Stairs are framed and finished for comfort and durability.

  • Custom Railing Styles: Horizontal, vertical, panel, or open sightline systems available.

  • Fully Integrated Design: Railings and stairs built to match your deck’s shape and material.

Railing or Stair Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

FAQs About Deck Stair & Railing Installation

These are the most common questions we get about building or replacing deck stairs and railings:

Question 1: Do I need a permit for stairs or railings?

Yes. Any structural changes or safety components typically require permits. We handle that for you.

Question 2: What’s the best railing material?

It depends on your deck. Wood blends naturally, metal lasts longer, and cable offers a modern view.

Question 3: Can you add lights to my stairs?

Absolutely. We offer riser lights, post caps, and side-mounted LEDs.

Question 4: Do I need railings on all stairs?

If your deck is more than 30 inches above grade or stairs exceed 3 risers, code requires it.
