Railing repair in South County: Affton, Mehlville, Oakville & Lemay
St. Louis County, Missouri. Including Affton, Lemay, Mehlville, Oakville, Concord and Sappington.
The houses
South County is mostly post-war: brick ranches and bungalows in Affton and Lemay, then 1960s-90s subdivisions with split-levels, two-story homes and big back decks further south in Mehlville and Oakville. Railing requests run from simple stoop rails to deck and long exterior stair railings on sloped lots.
What we hear about in South County
- Original 1950s-60s stoop railings rusted off at the concrete
- Metal railings for decks and exterior stairs on sloped back yards
- Handrails for split-level entries and garage steps
- Railings loose because the concrete step has cracked or settled
- Replacing a wood deck railing with metal
Local notes
Much of South County, including Affton, Mehlville, Oakville and Lemay, is unincorporated, so building permits come from St. Louis County rather than a city hall. Ask the county whether a new railing at your address needs one.
On sloped lots, the railing is often fine but the steps or footings under it have moved. Mention any settling or cracked concrete so the pro can tell you whether that needs fixing first.
STL Railing Repair is not a railing, welding or ironwork company. We're a free referral service. Independent local pros we connect you with may pay us a referral or advertising fee. They set their own prices and are responsible for their own work.
