Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

Because a railing for concrete stairs is a safety feature, some locations require a permit to do the work, even for a residential setting. Check with your local building inspector to see if you need a permit. In most locations, the residential railing height code requires the handrail to be 34 to 38 inches off the ground. If you buy a concrete stair railing kit, the manufacturer almost certainly will ensure it fits this height requirement.

Common problems include loose railings, cracked treads, and worn finishes. Regular maintenance prevents major issues.

The most comfortable stair riser height is 7 inches. Building your deck stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. It is possible to design your deck stairs with risers measuring up to 12 inches, but this height could be challenging for people with mobility issues, children, or smaller pets.

Railing height codes do not differ for indoor and outdoor structures. Instead, what will have the biggest impact is the type of rail (hand versus guard rail), what your local building codes dictate, and the scope or height of your stairs, deck, or balcony to begin with. 

A properly installed spindle should last decades or more, depending on the material, environmental conditions, and wear-and-tear from teething puppies or kids clunking bags up and down the stairs. Wood spindles may need more frequent maintenance and eventual replacement compared to metal or composite alternatives. Regular inspection and maintenance will help maximize their lifespan.
