Deck Railing Installation
We install deck railings that combine safety, style, and durability. Choose from aluminum, cable, glass, composite, or wood options.
Deck railings are required by Minnesota building code for any deck surface 30 inches or more above grade. DreamDecks Inc installs code-compliant deck railings in multiple styles and materials. We offer powder-coated aluminum railings for low maintenance, horizontal cable railings for modern aesthetics and views, tempered glass panel railings for unobstructed sightlines, composite railings that match your deck surface, and traditional wood railings in cedar or pressure-treated lumber. All our railings meet code requirements: 36-inch height for residential decks or 42-inch for commercial, maximum 4-inch baluster spacing, and posts anchored securely to the deck frame.

Frequently Asked Questions About Deck Railings
Common questions homeowners ask about deck railings in Minnesota.
What height do deck railings need to be in Minnesota?
Minnesota requires 36-inch minimum railing height for residential decks measured from the deck surface. Commercial and multi-family properties require 42-inch railings. Stairs require handrails 34-38 inches from the stair nosing.
How much does deck railing cost per linear foot?
Deck railing costs range from $20-50 per linear foot for basic wood or composite, $50-100 for aluminum, $100-200 for cable systems, and $150-300 for glass panels, including installation. A 50 linear foot railing project typically runs $1,500-10,000.
