Why Deck Railing Repair Matters
Safety First
We inspect for stability and safety and make sure your railing meets local code, and we handle permits and HOA approvals for you.
Boost Your Home’s Curb Appeal
Weather-worn railings drag down your property’s appearance. A fresh repair or replacement instantly brightens your deck and makes your entire home look well-maintained.
Protect Your Investment
Regular upkeep extends your railing’s lifespan. Early repairs typically cost a few hundred dollars, far less than a full rebuild down the line.
Ensure Code Compliance
Colorado and IRC codes demand a minimum 36″ guardrail height and baluster gaps no greater than 4″. We’ll bring your railing up to standards so you pass inspections with flying colors.
Don’t let a small problem become a big headache, let us keep your deck railing secure, stylish, and code-ready.

Every deck railing has its strengths. We’ll help you pick the material and repair method that fits your budget, style, and maintenance preferences.

Routine upkeep keeps your railing looking great and performing safely year after year. We recommend this simple maintenance plan:
Seasonal Checklist
Spring: Tighten all fasteners, clear debris from rail bases, and inspect for new cracks
Summer: Wash surfaces with mild soap, check stain or paint for fading, reapply as needed
Fall: Seal wood railings before the first freeze, remove leaves and moisture buildup
Winter: Brush off snow promptly, inspect metal for rust spots, touch up powder coat
Professional Annual Safety Inspection
Structural review of posts, joists, and ledger connections
Hardware audit: no stripped threads or corroded fasteners
Finish evaluation: verify seal integrity on wood and composite surfaces
Simple Homeowner Tips
Clean your deck and railings each spring with gentle methods that won’t damage finishes
Avoid harsh pressure washing; use a soft spray to protect the surface
Check hardware and fasteners after storms and re-secure or replace them as needed to maintain safety
With regular care and our expert inspections, your deck railing will stay safe, sturdy, and stunning for years to come.

James and his crew were very professional and built a beautiful deck and pergola for us. They arrived on time and were friendly throughout the two week process. They never cut corners and did everything exactly the way it should be done. We would highly recommend this company.

FAQ’s
1. How can I tell if my deck railing needs attention?
If your railing wobbles when leaned on, shows signs of sagging, or displays cracks and wear, it's time for an inspection; these could be safety risks. Country Construction highlights wobbling as a key warning sign.
2. Can Country Construction upgrade or repair my railing instead of replacing the whole deck?
Yes. Country Construction offers upgrades like new railings as part of their deck repair and restoration services.
3. What causes deck railing problems in Northern Colorado?
Colorado’s climate, high UV, fluctuating temperatures, and snow loads can cause expansion, contraction, and wood stress, leading to loosened connections or wear. While not stated verbatim, the site emphasizes designing with those climate realities in mind.
4. What materials are available for safer, long-lasting railing repairs?
Country Construction works with materials that include pressure-treated wood, cedar, composite/PVC, and metal (a common upgrade), materials chosen for longevity. Using these in railing repairs or upgrades ensures durability.
5. How do I get started with a deck railing repair or upgrade?
You can request a FREE estimate from Country Construction. We'll assess whether repair or an upgrade (like new railings) is the right move for your deck.
