Porch Railing

When people talk about stair railing installations, they tend to split them into two categories – outdoor and indoor railing setups. That’s entirely sensible, but there’s one variety of railings that almost fall into both categories – porch railings. Yes, a porch railing will be outside the walls of your property, technically, but given that it makes up part of your property’s main structure, there’s plenty of reason to think of it as an extension of your interior’s style. The team at Orlando Custom Railings is ready and waiting to give you all the help you need with any current or future porch railing requirements. We are deeply experienced at the custom design of these installations, and we know full well how important it is to make sure that they offer both structural and aesthetic quality in abundance. To learn more about our porch railing service, either read on below or reach out to our customer service representatives.

A wooden rail will only have so much life in it after years in the hot Florida sun and moisture filled air. Wood can also require repetitive staining and treatments which may be more than some owners care to deal with. We specialize in all types of metal railings which tend to have a longer life span and require less maintenance. Win, win. With an initial, strong coverage of powder coating, you'll be able to wipe down your outdoor railing with a rag and gentle household cleaner but these rails will also be able to withstand a cleaning from a power washer if you have major debris or buildup to remove. Another wonderful aspect of a powder coated railing is that you can choose from nearly any possible color.

Raise Your Property Value with an Upgraded Porch Railing

If you own a property, you’re obviously going to want to make sure that it lives up to its potential. Porches can be a real boon for properties in that sense. They are multifaceted spaces, that is to say, they can be used for a variety of purposes. Some people use them as welcoming areas, others as mudrooms, and, of course, they’re ideal for relaxation during pleasant weather. But the presence of a porch in and of itself isn’t enough to raise your property’s value. You need it to be structurally sound and attractive, and that means well-installed porch railings. By letting us add to your property, you’re giving yourself an excellent chance of boosting your property’s value.

Porch Rail Styles and Aesthetics

Given that the porch is part of a property’s exterior aesthetic, it’s clear that it can have a significant impact on how the building is perceived. This is why you need to be extra thoughtful when you decide to add a porch or porch railing to any building. Consider the multitude of styles and aesthetics to choose from; from farmhouse and colonial to bungalow and Queen Anne styles, you’re spoiled for choice. Pair any of these porch styles with a modern horizontal rail, and ornate classic style or a traditional metal vertical picket style and you'll be the standout neighbor in your Windermere neighborhood or any other suburb of Orlando.

Custom Variety for Every Front Porch Railing

Although most types of metal will cost a bit more than wood or PVC, they can still be affordable for all clients. The most frequently used materials for front or back porch railing are aluminum, steel, iron or cable railings. Thankfully we can create tons of designs in each of those metal substrates. We're not a shop that just specializes in one type of metal. We have the tools, skill set and experience to match a style or create something special for your porch based on your style choice or an existing look that may already exist elsewhere on your property. Whether you know exactly what you want or need help understanding the difference in metal porch railings as well as what works best in Orlando weather, we can point you in the right direction or at least give you options to choose from. Call today so we can talk railings. We do upgrades, replacements or builds from scratch for any kind of metal porch fence.

Securing Your Property

You might not have realized it up until this point, but a porch railing actually adds to the security of a property. They can also be useful for keeping annoying critters away from your property, which can be a problem in parts of Orlando, FL. Or maybe you have toddlers that are learning to walk but not yet grown enough to safely navigate stairs. We can help add a safety gate to your porch to keep these little ones safe. They grow up fast so when it's time to be removed, we'll make sure to use a system that allows for easy removal without destroying the rest of your railing or fence. Whatever the need is, we love thinking outside of the box and thoroughly enjoy a challenge. Call to chat and we expect you'll be impressed with the knowledge and work we can do.
