Stairs and railings aren’t just extras — they’re safety features that need to be built right. We construct stairs with the correct rise and run, use code-approved rail spacing, and anchor everything to structural framing. Our railings come in wood, metal, composite, or cable — and we can match or contrast them to your deck for a seamless or standout look.
Crafted for Safety. Styled for You.
We build stairs that feel solid, look clean, and fit your yard’s grade. Railings can be traditional, modern, or completely custom — including top caps, post wraps, and lighting add-ons. Whether it’s a small set of steps or a full multi-tier stair layout with landings, we handle design, code compliance, and clean installation every time.

Wood, Composite, Cable or Metal Rail Styles
Optional Wraps, Lighting & Decorative Features

We build stairs that feel sturdy underfoot and look great from every angle. Each step is cut and set to the right height for comfort and code. We match stringers and treads to your deck surface — composite, wood, or capped PVC — and offer riser wraps, fascia trim, and landing platforms when needed. Whether your stairs are straight, wraparound, or multi-directional, they’ll work beautifully for years.

Railings can blend in — or stand out. We offer wood, aluminum, steel cable, or composite rail systems that meet code and match your home’s look. Add decorative post caps, low-voltage lighting, or contrasting top rails for more personality and better nighttime safety. All hardware is concealed or color-matched for a polished finish.
If your deck is more than a few feet off the ground, code requires railings and stairs built to exact specs. We handle everything from tall stair runs and switchback steps to level transitions and multi-deck connections. We design layouts that keep your deck legal, accessible, and beautiful — no matter how complex the grade.
