Concrete and Asphalt Repairs

Railing modification is a very common issue with older apartment buildings. Chances are that if your property was built prior to 1985 your railings are not up to code. 

​

Railing width between bars should be less that 5 inches. Bars should be vertical and NOT horizontal (horizontal bars create a ladder effect that children can climb).

​

Here are some common solutions:

#1 Wire Mesh 

Wire mesh can be welded to the current railings. This is the recommended solution since this will last longest and is most secure. 

​

#2 Adding Bars 

Adding additional bars to reduce the spacing between rails. 

​

#3 Wood Lattice

Wood lattice might look best with wood railings. 

​

No Chicken Wire or Plastic Garden Fencing

These are cheap materials that don't last very long. They may also not suffice to insurance company requirements. 

​

​

Please consult with a licensed contractor  prior to performing any work at your property to ensure proper installation.
