Adds beauty and long-term value to your deck

From traditional cedar railings to low-maintenance composite and modern aluminum, we offer designs for every style and budget. Our stairs are built with reinforced treads and slip-resistant finishes, providing safe, long-lasting access. Whether you want a simple upgrade or a bold new look, we’ll design railings and stairs that complete your deck.

Railings and stairs take the brunt of Minnesota’s harsh climate. That’s why we build with weather-resistant materials and reinforced framing. From snow and ice to summer heat, our railings and stairs are engineered to resist warping, rotting, and rusting. We also apply protective finishes and non-slip options, ensuring safety and longevity year after year.
Your deck’s railings and stairs can be more than functional—they can be a focal point. We offer decorative post caps, lighting, privacy panels, and custom railing infills like glass or cable for a modern look. Stairs can include landings, wrap-around designs, or built-in planters to enhance beauty and usability.
