Outdoor project checklist

Backyard metalwork succeeds or fails on the details around it. Think through these before you call.

  • What will the railing or stair attach to: wood, concrete, masonry?
  • Is that surface sound? Rot or cracks should be addressed first
  • How many steps, and how high is the drop?
  • Do you want a pergola free-standing or attached to the house?
  • Will an HOA review structures like pergolas and canopies?
  • How do you want the finish to match the house trim?

Replacing a worn wooden stair or railing

Wood decks and steps weather quickly. A steel railing or stair can replace worn parts, but the connection points matter. A new steel railing bolted to rotted framing is only as good as the framing. We review what the new metal will bear on, and say so if repair of the structure comes first.

Stairs and guards are safety items. We review dimensions, anchoring and applicable requirements for each job.

Pergola or door canopy?

Pergola
Open rafters, free-standing or attached. Gives filtered shade and defines a patio or cooking area.
Door canopy or awning
A covered roof over a doorway or window. Keeps rain off entries and cuts direct sun.
Combination
A covered section against the house stepping out to an open pergola is a common solution for patios.
