Railings & Stairs in Nashville, Tennessee
Cable, aluminum and composite railing systems, and stairs built to a code-legal rise and run.
Nashville's Deck connects homeowners across Middle Tennessee with licensed, insured deck builders for railings & stairs. Estimates are free and written, the price is agreed before work starts, and the workmanship is backed in writing.
What the job usually involves
Every property is different, which is why the estimate comes after somebody has actually looked at it rather than before. What does not change is the process: assess, explain the options in plain language, put the scope and price in writing, then do the work to that scope.

Railings & Stairs, in practice
Railing posts are the part that fails. A post lag-screwed to the outside of a rim joist has very little resisting a person leaning on it, and proper attachment — blocking, through-bolts or a purpose-made hardware system — is what makes a guard actually guard.
Baluster spacing and guard height are code items and they are checked at inspection for a reason. On older decks the spacing is frequently wide enough for a small child to pass through, which is worth correcting whether or not anything else needs doing.
