Handrails provide essential safety and support, especially for individuals with walking challenges, small children, the disabled, and the elderly. They also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home while offering functionality.

Handrails can be installed in various locations, including:

• Decks & Porches – Enhancing safety while complementing outdoor spaces.
• Staircases – Essential for stability and support.
• Ramps – Providing accessibility for those with mobility concerns.
• Balconies & Elevated Walkways – Preventing falls while adding an elegant touch.

We offer a variety of materials to suit different needs and styles, including:

• Aluminum – Durable, weather-resistant, and low maintenance.
• Wrought Iron – Elegant and sturdy with customizable designs.
• Vinyl – Easy to maintain and available in various styles.

• Stainless Steel – Modern, sleek, and rust-resistant.

Yes! We offer a range of styles, colors, and materials to ensure your handrails complement your home’s design while providing necessary support.

Most local building codes require handrails for decks, porches, and stairs above a certain height. Even when not required, adding handrails improves safety and usability.

Building codes vary by location and project specifics. We recommend checking with local authorities or consulting our team for guidance on compliance.

Maintenance depends on the material:

• Aluminum & Stainless Steel – Occasional cleaning with mild soap and water.
• Wrought Iron – May require periodic painting or sealing to prevent rust.
• Vinyl – Low maintenance, usually needing just a rinse to stay clean.
• Wood – Requires staining or sealing to protect against weather damage.

Absolutely! Handrails can also serve as a decorative element, adding character to your home’s exterior. They can even function as a convenient place to hang outdoor items like plants, lights, or seasonal decorations.
