St. Augustine's Premier Deck Railing Company

Railings carry both the safety and the visual identity of a deck. Maritime Docks and Decks Inc. handles deck railing across Florida for new builds, replacements, and repairs on existing decks. Material options span wood, composite, glass, vinyl, aluminum, steel, and cable, with the selection driven by the deck style, the code requirements, and the way the space gets used.

Our Services

Deck Railing Installation

A new railing installation starts with post placement and ends with code-compliant height, baluster spacing, and graspable handrails. Each material has its own fastening, anchoring, and finishing details.

Deck Railing Repair

Loose posts, broken balusters, damaged top rails, and pulled fasteners all fall under deck railing repair. Most issues get addressed without replacing the full run.

Deck Replant

A replant resets posts that have shifted, loosened, or pulled away from the deck framing. The work corrects the structural anchor point without disturbing the rest of the railing run.

Deck Rerail

A full rerail replaces the entire railing system while keeping the deck below intact. Owners often use a rerail as a chance to switch materials or bring the railing up to current code.

Types of Deck Railings

Wooden Railing

Wooden railings match wood and composite decks with traditional grain and finish options. Sealing or staining is part of long-term care.

Composite Railing

Composite railings pair well with composite decks and require minimal maintenance. Color choices typically match or coordinate with the deck boards.

Glass Railing

Glass panel railings preserve sightlines from the deck surface to the surrounding view. Frame options include aluminum and stainless steel.

Vinyl Railing

Vinyl railings hold up to Florida sun and humidity without sealing or painting. Color is limited to what the manufacturer offers.

Aluminum Railing

Aluminum railings resist corrosion in coastal environments and carry less weight on the deck framing. Powder-coat finishes hold color over time.

Steel Railing

Steel railings handle high-traffic commercial settings and decorative wrought-iron looks. Galvanizing or coating addresses corrosion in Florida conditions.

Cable Railing

Cable railings preserve sightlines like glass while costing less. Tension on the cables needs to be maintained over time.

Wrought Iron Railing

Wrought iron suits decorative residential settings and historic property styles. Finish maintenance is part of keeping the metal sound long-term.

Privacy Screens and Walls

Privacy panels integrate with the railing system to block sightlines or wind. Material choice often matches the railing for a unified look.

Our Materials And Manufacturers

Material selection for a deck railing depends on the deck below, the look the owner wants, and the conditions at the site.

Still have questions?

What deck railing materials do you offer?

Material options cover wooden, composite, glass, vinyl, aluminum, steel, cable, and wrought iron railings. Each material has its own price point, care routine, and visual character. Selection depends on the deck style, the surrounding architecture, and how much upkeep the owner wants to take on.

Can you install custom deck railings?

Yes, custom deck railing work covers mixed materials, decorative post caps, inset panels, and integrated features like privacy screens or lighting. Each custom design is drawn around the deck and the property rather than pulled from a template. Code requirements for height, spacing, and load capacity are built into the design from the start.

Do you provide deck railing repair and replant work?

Yes, repair and replant services are part of the regular service. Repair covers loose posts, broken balusters, damaged rails, and pulled fasteners. Replant addresses posts that have shifted or pulled away from the deck framing, restoring the structural anchor without replacing the entire railing.

How do you ensure railing safety and durability?

Every deck railing installation meets current Florida building code for height, baluster spacing, load capacity, and graspable handrails. Post anchoring is sized for the railing material and the expected load, and fastener selection accounts for the corrosion conditions at the site. Inspections during installation verify each connection before the next phase begins.
