Deck Railings

This is a question that we get asked often. We always suggest playing railings in key areas. This includes the exterior of your home and interior. The most common places include patios, entrances and anywhere that has steps leading to or from your home.

Handrails offer your home an extra layer of safety. By just adding a few railings around your home you can help prevent friends and family from experience a nasty fall. For anyone with mobility issues or anyone that knows someone with mobility issues, they know just how important something as small a railing is.
