Safe, Stylish, and Built to Code

Custom Deck Railings & Stairs in New Mexico

More Than Railings—It’s a Safety System

Built Strong, Designed Right, and Easy to Use

We construct stairways and railings that follow exact spacing, height, and grip requirements for residential safety codes in New Mexico. Choose between horizontal, vertical, or cable railings with posts in wood, composite, or metal. For stairs, we handle everything from stringer layout to tread depth and railing integration. You’ll get clean lines, tight fasteners, and a staircase that feels solid under every step.

Code-Compliant and Cleanly Crafted

What’s Included in Our Railing & Stair Services

Every stair and rail system we build is custom-fit to the deck and site. That means precise cuts, solid framing, and optional add-ons like lighting, trim caps, or two-tone finishes. Whether you want wood to match your deck or metal to contrast it, we’ll guide your choices and build it to last.

  • Railing height, spacing, and fasteners built to code

  • Custom stringers, landings, and stair risers included

  • Wood, composite, aluminum, or cable rail options

Every Step and Rail Framed With Purpose

Deck Stairs That Feel Solid Underfoot

We don’t cut corners on the part of your deck you use most. Each stair system is carefully measured for rise and run, framed with treated lumber or composite-ready stringers, and fastened to code. We ensure every tread is even and every landing safe. Whether you need a single step-down or a multi-flight staircase with turn platforms, we’ll build stairs you can trust for decades.

Design Details That Stand Out (and Up to the Elements)

Custom Railings That Finish the Deck—And Elevate It

Railings aren’t just functional—they’re one of the first things you see. We offer simple wood pickets, sleek cable rails, modern aluminum systems, and decorative post caps that complement your deck style. We also offer privacy panels, drink rails, and LED lighting for both safety and ambiance. Every component is sealed, finished, and built to withstand New Mexico’s dry sun and shifting temps.

Retrofits or New Installs—We Do Both

Replace or Add Railings & Stairs to Existing Decks

Need to upgrade an old stairway or replace damaged railings? We retrofit existing decks with custom components that meet current code—and match your home. Our team removes old pieces cleanly, reinforces weak spots, and installs new railings or steps that feel like part of the original build. You’ll get fresh finishes, better safety, and a longer-lasting structure overall.

Details Matter—We Build With Precision

A stair that feels shaky or a railing that wobbles isn’t just annoying—it’s unsafe. That’s why we take time with measurements, fastener spacing, and layout to deliver a system that’s tight, level, and solid. Whether it’s a full stair replacement or just new rails, we treat the small stuff like it matters—because it does.

  • Post and baluster spacing built to exact standards

  • Grip-ready handrails with round or square profiles

  • Two-tone or custom-finish rail systems available

The Right Way to Finish Every Deck

Strong Rails and Smart Stairs—Built for the Long Haul

A great deck deserves more than basic railings. We frame and fasten every stair and railing with structural integrity, long-term use, and visual appeal in mind. From entry stairs to full-wrap rail systems, we build with purpose—and we don’t leave loose ends.

Everything You Need to Know About Deck Stairs & Railings

FAQs for New Mexico Homeowners

Here are the most common questions we get about upgrading, replacing, or adding stairs and railings to decks across New Mexico.

What’s the required height for deck railings in New Mexico?

Typically 36" for residential decks—but we confirm and build to local code based on your elevation and deck height.

Can you add lighting to my rail system?

Yes. We offer LED post caps, under-rail lighting, and step lights—all low-voltage and outdoor-rated.

What’s the best material for low-maintenance railings?

Aluminum and composite are great choices—they resist rust, don’t need staining, and last for decades.

Can you replace just the stairs or just the railing?

Absolutely. We can do either or both, depending on your deck’s condition and your goals.
