It’s important to choose the right type of railing, as it affects the final price and installation features.

  1. Use a tape measure to determine the length of the railing in linear feet. To calculate the price, we need the length of the railing along the steps and the length of the railing on a flat surface.
  2. Write down your measurements and preferences. A visual drawing or example of the railing you want can help us better understand your preferences.
  3. Choose your railing color and hardware so we can find the right fit for you. With these steps, you’ll be on your way to a perfectly measured and installed railing.
