Deck railings

A modern railing can take years off the look of your deck, and most replacements take just a few days. Choose from cable, aluminum, composite, glass, steel or wood.

Which railing is right for your deck?

It depends on how you use the space and the look you want. Metal, composite and cable railings are sturdy and need little upkeep. Composite gives you more colors and the look of wood. Metal is the strongest and most scratch-resistant.

Glass and cable railings are the most eye-catching and give you the most open view, though they cost a little more and take a little more work to install. Wood has a beautiful, rustic look but needs more maintenance.

The process

How a railing replacement works

  1. Inspection

    We check the railing, deck level and the structural framing, posts and blocking, to see what repairs are needed and quote accurately.

  2. Choose and sign

    You pick the railing style and materials, we send the quote and sign the contract.

  3. Remove the old

    Old posts and railing come out.

  4. Repair and reinforce

    Any repairs and structural reinforcement are done, and posts are set level and plumb.

  5. Install to code

    New posts and railing go in to Washington deck building codes.

  6. Clean-up

    We clean the site and haul away the debris before we leave.

What customers say

★★★★★
I hired Deckrecover to repair railings because a friend of mine recommended them and said his experience with them was excellent. Max from Deckrecover gave us an estimate, which was very acceptable so there were no reasons not to go with them. He and his team started the project on time, did an amazing job and the overall experience was excellent. My repaired railings and decking boards turned out exactly as I wanted and I would definitely recommend Deckrecover to my friends.

Max and his DeckRecover crew TOTALLY repaired our deck! They secured the weakened glass railing system by installing metal brackets, wood blocking and extra screws to reinforce the railings and posts. The work was completed in only one day and now it is much safer than it was before. Would highly recommend!! Thanks Max!!

My large old oddly shaped deck needed lots of help. Max figured out how to reinforce the frame, replaced a huge rotting beam, and replaced posts. The deck no longer “shakes”. It is much stronger. They replaced the old wood decking with composite decking and added a new cable railing. It’s beautiful! I am very happy with their work!
