Deck Railing in Kenmore

Why Kenmore Homeowners Choose Deck Railing

Railing is the detail that defines the entire deck. Cable railing for unobstructed views. Glass panels for maximum transparency. Composite railing for low maintenance. Cedar for traditional warmth. We design and install every system — and we know which system works for each King County city's inspection requirements.

King County deck railing code: 36-inch minimum height for decks under 30 inches above grade; 42-inch minimum for elevated decks. Most inspector failures in the region involve railing post attachment — not the railing itself. We frame post bases as part of the deck structure, not as an afterthought, which is why our installations pass first inspection consistently.
