Enhance your deck's safety, functionality, and style with professionally installed railings, stairs, and safety features.
Railings and stairs are not just decorative elements. They are critical safety features that prevent falls and injuries. Building codes require railings on decks that are elevated more than 30 inches above the ground, and there are strict guidelines for spacing, height, and strength. Stairs must be built to specific dimensions to ensure safe, comfortable use. If your deck's railings or stairs do not meet current codes, you could face safety risks and legal liability.
At Timber N Tread Rialto Decks, we specialize in installing railings, stairs, and safety features that meet or exceed all local building codes. We serve homeowners in Rialto and surrounding communities, and we understand the requirements for safe, code-compliant deck construction. Whether you are building a new deck, upgrading an old one, or addressing safety concerns, we have the expertise to do the job right.
Beyond safety, railings and stairs also define your deck's style and character. The right design can enhance your home's appearance and complement your outdoor space. We offer a wide range of materials, styles, and finishes so you can create a look that is both safe and beautiful.
Deck railings come in many styles and materials. Here are the most popular options:
We help you choose the right railing system based on your budget, style, and maintenance preferences. We can also mix materials, like wood posts with metal balusters, to create a custom look that is uniquely yours.
Deck stairs must be built to precise specifications to ensure safety and comfort. Building codes dictate the maximum rise (height of each step) and minimum tread depth (width of each step). Stairs that are too steep or have uneven steps can cause trips and falls. Handrails are required for stairs with more than three steps.
We build deck stairs using the same high-quality materials as your deck. We calculate the rise and run to ensure each step is uniform and comfortable. We install sturdy stringers (the structural supports) and secure treads that can handle years of foot traffic. We add handrails and railings that meet code requirements and provide solid support.
Stairs can be straight, wrapped around the deck, or built in multiple flights for larger elevation changes. We can add built-in lighting to illuminate steps at night for added safety. We design stairs that fit your property's layout and provide safe, easy access to your deck.
If your existing stairs are uneven, unsafe, or out of code, we can rebuild them to meet current standards. We also offer deck repair services to fix damaged or deteriorating stairs.
Beyond railings and stairs, we offer other safety enhancements to make your deck safer and more functional:
Integrated lighting improves visibility at night and reduces the risk of trips and falls. We install post-cap lights, stair lights, and under-rail lighting that add both safety and ambiance to your deck.
We can apply non-slip coatings or install textured decking materials to reduce slip hazards, especially in areas that get wet.
If you have young children or pets, we can install safety gates at the top of stairs or entry points to prevent unsupervised access to the deck.
If your deck was built years ago, it may not meet current building codes. We can inspect your deck and make necessary upgrades to bring it into compliance. This protects your family and ensures you are not liable if someone gets injured.
