Railing FAQ
Are deck railings required by code in Buffalo, NY?
Yes. New York State Building Code requires guardrails on decks that are 30" or more above grade. The railing must be a minimum 36" high (42" for commercial), with balusters spaced no more than 4" apart. We build all railings to code and they're inspected with your deck permit.
How much do deck railings cost in Buffalo?
Aluminum railings typically run $60–$120 per linear foot installed. Cable railings run $100–$180/lf. Glass panel railings are $150–$250/lf. Wood railings are the most affordable at $40–$80/lf. Pricing depends on height, style, and number of corners and gates.
Can I add railings to an existing deck?
Yes — we retrofit railings onto existing decks all the time. We assess the existing structure, reinforce post connections as needed, and install the railing system of your choice. A free site visit lets us tell you exactly what's involved.
What's the most low-maintenance railing option?
Aluminum and cable railings are the lowest maintenance. Powder-coated aluminum never rusts, chips, or needs painting. Stainless cable just needs occasional wiping. Glass panels need regular cleaning to stay streak-free. Wood railings require the most upkeep.
