What does a custom deck railing from Will look like?
A custom deck railing from Will is built to your deck, not pulled off a shelf. He measures on site, builds the railing in our Cokato shop and installs it himself, so one person handles the job from the first call to the last post. Every run is made to the length of your deck, with the corners, the stairs and the way it mounts worked out for your project. We build deck railings for homes and lake cabins from Annandale to the west metro, and a finished deck railing job in Annandale is the kind of work we do. Will grew up in his family's ornamental iron shop and now runs his own shop in Cokato. Tell us about your deck with a few photos and rough measurements, and he will take it from there. We do railings and fabrication only, nothing structural.

Which decks do we build railings for?
Lake country and the west metro have every kind of deck. These are the ones we are asked about most.
Lake cabins
Deck railings for cabins on the lakes around Annandale and Cokato, made to the length and layout of your deck.
Walkout decks
Railings for decks off a walkout level, with the corners and the stairs fitted to your measurements.
Second-story decks
Railings for raised decks, measured on site and mounted to suit how your deck is built.
Porches
Railings for porches and front steps, shaped to suit the look of your home or cabin.
How does a deck railing project work?
Four steps, and Will does every one of them himself.

-

What affects the price of a deck railing?
Every deck railing is built one at a time, so the price depends on your deck. We quote after we have seen your photos and measurements, so the number matches your project and not a guess. Four things move it the most.
- LengthA longer run takes more to build.
- DesignA simple, clean look is a different job than a detailed one.
- Corners and transitionsEach turn, stair opening or change in height adds work.
- How it mountsThe way the railing attaches to your deck shapes the build.

Can you replace an old wood or worn deck railing with metal?

How long does a deck railing take?
The timeline for a deck railing from our Cokato shop depends on the length, the design and what is on the shop schedule. A straight run and a deck with several corners are different jobs. The timeline comes with your quote, so you know where things stand before you sign.
