"Greg is very responsive and prompt, both in giving an estimate and answering emails. The powder coated iron railings are exactly what we wanted and needed. The railings were manufactured and installed with care and attention to detail. We're very happy with this company and plan to hire them again in the spring for another railing."

"Highly recommend Bayside Builders Group for any backyard remodels. Shai was our PM for a new deck project and he killed it. The craftsmanship on the railings and steps is beautiful, and the whole structure feels rock solid. Shai was super professional but really easygoing and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. Can't wait to host barbecues out here!"

"We found McCormick home builders through Angie’s list. They were not one of our original contacts, but they contacted us and came out to give us a quote. Matteo was extremely helpful, informative, honest, and gave us reasonable realistic prices, and did not try to inflate the prices or pressure us in anyway. We felt very comfortable with him immediately. We felt like he was a member of the family that we could just talk to and ask questions he was very personable. He gave us his contact number in case we had other questions and he was always available when we needed him for any type of questions or concerns. Mateo‘s team did a beautiful job. They were fast. They were efficient. They cleaned up beautifully. They did a wonderful job. They were very considerate of our time our needs and our neighbors. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Matteo from McCormick home builders for any home building projects, and we will be calling him again in the future!"

"PGM are rock solid. Punctual, accurate, and tidy. Patrick and team gave exceptional value for money and exceeded expectations in every aspect of this job. A common element between two separate properties, PGM repaired/replaced elements of our three story common stairwell with attention to safety, Recology Sunset, and the needs of tenants. A general contractor, PGM will be at the top of our list for other projects. Highly recommended!"

Install Stair Railings FAQs, answered by experts

The four-inch ball rule, also known as the four-inch sphere rule, is a safety requirement for railings on structures like decks and stairways. It states that a four-inch sphere should not be able to pass through any gap in the railing system. This applies to the spaces between balusters or spindles, as well as the gap between the bottom rail and the deck surface. The purpose of this rule is to prevent small children and pets from accidentally squeezing or slipping through the railing.

Annually, to check for structural stability, surface wear, and secure fittings.

Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from flying debris, especially when cutting or drilling. Work gloves are also essential for gripping tools and handling sharp or splintered materials. If you’re working on a second-story deck or near an edge, consider wearing a safety harness. Hearing protection is a smart choice when using power tools, and steel-toe boots can prevent injuries from dropped materials.

Vinyl is generally considered to be the best option for homeowners seeking railings that are both durable and affordable. Vinyl provides protection against the mold and rot that can develop within wood railings. Composite is another budget-friendly option. However, people building high-end decks often prefer the look of glass panels or metal rails.

To child- or pet-proof your deck railing, look for railing systems with narrow spacing—under 4 inches—between balusters or panels. For added safety, consider installing a clear acrylic or mesh guard along the inside of the railing to prevent small limbs or paws from slipping through. Avoid horizontal rails that adventurous kids can climb like ladders. You can also add self-closing gates at stair openings to limit access.
