You love your deck – it gets a ton of use year-round by the whole family – but the wooden handrails are getting old and they need painting again. And with the kids, safety’s another issue.

Maybe it’s time to replace your railings. The neighbors had new railings installed last year and their aluminum railings look great, but how much did their hand railing installation cost? And is aluminum the way to go?

Aluminum railings do have major advantages over other railing materials and adding them to your home is a great way to increase your home’s value and add curb appeal.

Read on to find out more about the benefits of aluminum railings and the costs of installation.

Why Choose Aluminum Handrails?

Over the last 20 years or so, aluminum handrails have become more and more popular, both for new installations and as replacements for older railings.

Why? Aluminum has many advantages over wood, vinyl, steel, and wrought iron railings.

Aluminum handrails don’t require painting like wood and metal. Mild occasional cleaning is all that’s needed. Aluminum doesn’t rust, doesn’t split or rot, and doesn’t suffer from UV degradation like vinyl.

Professional installation from a trusted, experienced company like https://saltlakeroofing.com/railing/ combined with the benefits of aluminum, makes your new rail installation safer for years to come.

Your Railing Options

With all of the railing styles, colors, options, and configurations available, installation costs will vary on a project-by-project basis.

Unless you’ve already chosen a railing, let your railing contractor or installer make recommendations for you.

The pros have the knowledge and expertise to know what railings will work and look best in your situation.

If you do go with aluminum railings, remember that aluminum’s longer life means that installation costs are even more offset than with other materials.

Complete Written Estimates for Installation

Any railing installation cost estimates that you get should cover everything that’s involved. That includes setup, site preparation, complete installation, trash removal, and cleanup.

It’s always wise to ask for written estimates. That eliminates any potential for misunderstanding once the job is finished.

Consider the per Foot Costs

Apart from materials (the railings themselves, fittings, and fasteners), installation costs for a short, 15-foot railing, can range from $28 – $48. The good news is that the longer the railing, the lower the installation cost per foot.

That means that on a 75-foot railing, you can expect per foot costs to drop down to between $20 and $43. And why the big range in price per foot? As with everything home-related, installation costs can vary considerably from city to city.

Learning About Hand Railing Installation

Once you’ve picked out that perfect new railing for your deck by yourself or with the help of the experts, ask the pros for a complete and detailed hand railing installation cost estimate.

They can answer any questions you have about the process and the timeline. And before you know it, you and your family will be safely enjoying your deck again!
