Low-Maintenance & Modern Railing

  • Aluminum Railing: Highly durable, powder-coated, and rust-proof. Aluminum offers a sleek, modern, and long-lasting look that requires minimal upkeep.
  • Composite/Vinyl Railing: Engineered to resist fading, rotting, and warping, composite railings pair perfectly with composite decking. They eliminate the need for painting or staining.
  • Cable Railing: Ideal for maximizing unobstructed views of North Bay. This modern system uses slim posts and horizontal stainless steel cables, providing security with a minimalist profile.

Classic & Customizable Railing

  • Wood Railing: Provides a classic, natural warmth. We use durable, treated woods like Redwood or Cedar, allowing for custom baluster designs and on-site staining or painting to match your existing trim.
