If you’re thinking about installing outdoor stairs or a deck at your Connecticut home, keeping people safe should be one of your top priorities. Railings are simple and highly effective safety features that can also enhance your property’s curb appeal.
Why You Should Install Railings on Outdoor Stairs or a Deck
A person who falls from your stairs or deck can suffer broken bones or other serious injuries. If someone gets hurt at your house and your homeowners insurance policy doesn’t cover all the person’s bills, you can be sued, and your house and other belongings can be put in jeopardy.
Why You Should Hire a Contractor to Install Railings
The process of installing railings isn’t as simple and straightforward as you might expect. Outdoor railings must meet strict height requirements to comply with local building codes. Railings must be straight and securely anchored, and openings must be narrow enough to prevent injuries.
Even if you like to handle DIY projects, you’ll probably be better off having professionals install railings on your stairs or deck. A minor miscalculation during the planning process or a small error during installation can result in railings that fail a building code inspection.
If that happens, you might have to take them down and start over from scratch or hire a contractor to install new railings. That can wind up costing you a lot, in terms of both time and money.
How to Choose the Right Railings for the Stairs or Deck at Your CT Home
Wrought iron railings have historically been popular because of their strength and durability, but many Connecticut homeowners prefer aluminum railings because they require very little maintenance. Either can enhance your home’s aesthetics and complement its architectural design.
