We install all types of railing systems and help you understand the pros and cons of each. Your railings should work with your deck design, not against it.
Safety First, Always
Building codes exist to keep people safe. In Vacaville, decks over 30 inches high require railings. Rails must be at least 36 inches tall, and balusters can't be spaced more than 4 inches apart. This prevents small children from slipping through.
We know the local codes inside and out. When we install railings, we make sure everything passes inspection the first time. We use proper post spacing and secure attachment methods. The railings should feel rock solid, not wobbly. Your safety is our priority.
Deck Stairs Done Right
Stairs connect your deck to your yard and need to be built correctly. Uneven steps are a tripping hazard. Stairs that are too steep are hard to use. We calculate the right rise and run for your deck height, ensuring comfortable and safe steps.
We build stair stringers with precision and attach them securely to your deck frame. Treads are spaced properly and fastened to prevent squeaks or movement. If your stairs need railings, we add them to match your deck railings.
Need wider stairs for easier access? Want a landing partway down? We customize stairs to fit your needs and your yard. Whether you have a simple straight run or a more complex design with turns or multiple levels, we make it work.
