Dave Fraser and his team are miracle workers. I had someone build me a composite deck and very quickly I realized I was in trouble. Sent some photos on Yelp and Dave called me immediately to offer assistance - literally he was out to dinner and picks duo the phone because of the disastrous photos I had posted. He was totally booked but fit me in after their day jobs. Before I even hired him, he told me exactly what to buy, where to buy it, and contacts to help me. The team that did the job was professional, courteous, talented, and fast! I would hire Fraser Decks & Patios again without question and I recommend them to everyone!

Expert Deck Railing Installation in San Diego County Minus Ramona, CA
Deck railing installation is one of the most safety-critical parts of any outdoor deck project. Fraser Decks And Patio Covers handles the full installation process for homeowners across San Diego County, including Encinitas, La Jolla, Carlsbad, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Carmel Valley, and Poway. A properly installed railing keeps your family safe and keeps your deck code-compliant. In California, residential deck railings must be at least 42 inches tall from the walking surface. Any deck more than 30 inches above grade requires a guardrail by code. San Diego County's coastal areas add another layer of complexity. Salt air along the coast accelerates corrosion on hardware that is not rated for marine exposure. Inland areas like Poway face intense UV and heat that degrade certain materials faster. We account for these local conditions when selecting and installing your railing system. Many communities in San Diego County also have HOA guidelines that govern railing height, style, and finish. We work within those requirements so your finished railing passes inspection and fits your property. Contact Fraser Decks And Patio Covers to get your railing project started.
