Two Railing Projects, Two Different Price Points
Looking at total project costs can help give a clearer sense of typical pricing.
Below are two common examples: one for a three-sided deck and another for both a deck and stair railing. Each project has roughly the same railing length, but their total costs vary because of differences in infill type, mounting style, and overall complexity.
Compare the two charts to see how different infill choices and mounting options affect each project’s overall cost.
