Deck and balcony railings are guards, not just handholds, so a loose one is more urgent than it looks. We connect you with local pros who work on metal deck and balcony railings: iron and steel on older balconies, aluminum and steel systems on newer decks.
What people call about
- Railing posts loose on the deck framing
- Rusted iron balcony railing on an older building
- Gaps wide enough for a child to slip through
- Railing panels bent or pulled loose
- Old wood railing to replace with metal
- Railing on a rental or condo balcony
Repair, rebuild or replace
Re-fasten or reinforce posts, weld breaks, replace damaged panels.
Replace the worst runs to match the rest.
New metal railing system sized to the deck or balcony.
What the pro will want to know
- Deck or balcony, and how high off the ground?
- Wood, composite, or concrete deck?
- Is the deck framing itself sound?
- How many feet of railing?
Questions
My deck boards are soft. Should I fix the railing first?
A railing is only as strong as what it's fastened to. If the framing or the posts are rotting, that's a deck repair first. Tell us in the request and the pro can say whether they handle both.
Is aluminum OK instead of iron?
Aluminum doesn't rust and is common on newer decks. Iron or steel is heavier and can match older homes. A pro can price both.
