Deck Stair Design & Construction

Stairs are one of the most frequently cited safety issues during deck inspections. Improper riser height, tread depth, or missing handrails can make stairs unsafe and non-compliant.

Our stair construction services include:

• Code-compliant stair rise and run calculations
• Wide, stable stair treads for safe travel
• Proper stringer layout and structural support
• Graspable handrails and secure post attachment

Railing & Stair Safety Corrections

Many decks fail inspections due to railing and stair issues rather than decking material itself. We frequently correct:

• Loose or improperly fastened railing posts
• Non-compliant guardrail height or spacing
• Unsafe or missing stair handrails
• Uneven or oversized stair risers
• Rotting stair stringers or framing
• Corroded fasteners and hardware

Our experience inspecting and repairing unsafe decks allows us to identify problems quickly and correct them properly.

Railings and stairs in Hampton Roads are exposed to moisture, salt air, and temperature changes. Improper material selection or installation can lead to corrosion, loosening, and premature failure.
