Deck Railing Repair in Greenville, SC

A railing you can rock with one hand is the most common unsafe thing we find on Upstate decks. It is almost always the post connection at the frame rather than the railing itself, and surface-screwing it back on does not fix it — the post has to be through-bolted into the framing.

What this includes

  • Post through-bolting and bracket reinforcement
  • Baluster replacement and re-securing
  • Railing cap replacement
  • Height and spacing brought to safe standards
  • Stair rail repair and reset

Common questions

Why does my railing wobble even after being screwed back?

Because screws into the rim board alone can't hold lateral force. A post needs bolting through the framing with proper hardware. That's the fix that lasts.

Is baluster spacing a real safety issue?

Yes, especially with small children. Gaps wider than about four inches are the standard concern, and we can add balusters to close them.
