Pricing

What a railing costs

The price depends on how many feet of railing, how tall it is, what fills the space between the rails, the finish, and how the posts are mounted.

$80 to $120 / foot, installed

A plain two-rail galvanized handrail core-drilled into existing concrete sits at the bottom of the range, and a 42-inch guard with mesh infill and powder coat sits at the top.

Posts can be core-drilled into an existing slab, set on base plates, welded to embed plates set in the concrete, or set in footings in soil, and the mounting changes the price. Rooftop work and custom fabrication run above the band, because the posts get plated and the shop time goes up.

Fast pricing

Three things to get you a price

01

How many feet, and what it is on

Stairs, ramp, landing, roof or deck, and the run in feet. On a stair, the number of risers.

02

A photo of what it mounts to

Concrete, wood deck, or roof deck. That decides core-drilled posts or base plates, and it moves the price.

03

The look you want

Plain pipe, pickets, mesh infill, or ornamental, and the finish: primer, powder coat, or galvanized.

If the job has plans, send the plans and we build to them.

I have high standards and this company can stand the scrutiny. When I told them it was between them and another company, they asked what they could do to earn my business. Great customer service from start to finish.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How much does a railing cost in Sacramento?

Railings run about $80 to $120 a foot installed. Rooftop and custom fabrication run above that.

How tall does a railing have to be?

A guard at an open edge is at least 42 inches on commercial work. A graspable handrail on a stair or ramp sits 34 to 38 inches above the nosing. Commercial stairs usually need both.

Do you do ADA-compliant handrails?

Yes. ADA handrails run 34 to 38 inches with a graspable profile and extensions past the top and bottom step. On a ramp, handrails are required once the run rises more than 6 inches.

Do you build rooftop guardrail?

Yes. The posts are plated to the roof deck, and putting the roofing back around them is the roofer’s work.

Can I get a custom or ornamental design?

Yes. Inside the code heights the design is open: pickets, horizontal rails, mesh infill, or ornamental work like rings, scrolls, and knuckles. Send a picture of one you like and we will build it in steel.

Do you install road guardrails?

Yes, W-beam guardrail on posts.
