Deck Railings and Stair Installation in West Virginia

More Than Just a Code Requirement

Stairs and Railings That Make Your Deck Safer—and Better Looking

The right railings and stairs do more than meet code—they define your deck’s style and how easy it is to use. At Alliance Deck Builders of West Virginia, we design and install stair systems and custom railings built for comfort, security, and looks. From horizontal cable rails to wide stairs with integrated lighting, everything we build is stable, compliant, and tailored to your space.

Choose the Style, We’ll Build the Strength

Wood, Composite, Metal & Cable Rail Systems

We offer railings in pressure-treated lumber, cedar, composite, aluminum, and stainless cable. Posts are secured to framing with hidden hardware, and stair systems are built with proper rise/run and treads that feel solid underfoot. Whether you’re going for rustic, modern, or low-maintenance, we’ll match your deck and build it to last.

  • Code-compliant spacing and handrail height

  • ADA and child-safety options available

  • Optional lighting, top caps, or privacy screens

Build Confidence Into Every Step

Safe, Comfortable Staircases for Any Deck Height

Our stair builds feel stable—never shaky. We frame with pressure-treated stringers, properly sized risers and treads, and sturdy handrails that stand up to use and weather. From ground-level entries to second-story walkouts, we build stairs that are safe, comfortable, and cleanly finished. Need a landing, turn, or wrap-around? We design to fit your yard and traffic flow.

Modern or Traditional—Your Call

Railing Styles That Match Your Deck’s Look

Your railing system can stand out or blend in. Choose composite for a low-maintenance finish, metal for a clean modern feel, or wood for warmth and texture. We offer horizontal cables, vertical balusters, privacy screens, or custom top caps. Every rail we install is fastened securely and designed to work with your deck’s layout.

What to Expect with Rail and Stair Upgrades

Our stair and railing services start with a site inspection to check for height, slope, and structure. Then we recommend materials that match your deck and usage needs. Everything is fastened using structural hardware and finished clean—with proper alignment, spacing, and grip. We also offer lighting and screen upgrades for safety and comfort.

  • Framing and footing inspection on existing stairs

  • Code-based rail height and baluster spacing

  • Lighting, top caps, and privacy screen add-ons

Planning a Railing or Stair Upgrade?

FAQs About Custom Railings & Deck Steps

These are the most common questions we get from homeowners looking to update their deck railings or staircases.

Question 1: Do I need railings on all sides of my deck?

Any drop over 30 inches requires a guardrail by code. We’ll evaluate and build accordingly.

Question 2: What railing materials last the longest?

Composite and aluminum require the least maintenance and hold up well in WV weather.

Question 3: Can you install railings on concrete or pavers?

Yes. We anchor railing posts into concrete patios, steps, or masonry with the right hardware.

Question 4: Do your stairs meet code?

Yes. We use correct tread/riser ratios, handrail heights, and landing requirements on all builds.
