Safe, Stylish Access for Every Deck

Custom Deck Railings & Stairs in Rhode Island

The Details That Make the Deck

Custom Rail & Stair Builds for Safety, Flow & Design

Your deck is only as good as the access it provides—and the safety that surrounds it. At Alliance Deck Builders of Rhode Island, we build custom deck railings and stairs that meet code, match your design, and last for years. Whether you're upgrading a tired stair run or want railings that highlight your view, our team delivers precision carpentry with smart design choices.

Safety You Can See—and Feel

Railings and Stairs That Work for Real Life

We build railings and stairs that meet code and match your lifestyle. Whether it's a wide stairway from your deck to the lawn or a top-level landing with sleek cable rails, we prioritize secure footing, proper spacing, and long-term durability. Our stair designs account for slope, entry points, and how you actually move through your space. With a range of material and style options, there’s a perfect fit for every deck.

  • Code-compliant heights and spacing

  • Smooth handrails and easy-grip profiles

  • Wide, well-lit stairs for safe movement

Function and Style, Side by Side

Railing Options for Any Look or Budget

Choose from wood, metal, composite, or cable railing systems—each custom-fitted and installed to match your deck. We offer decorative balusters, clean modern lines, or classic wood top rails depending on the look you want. Need something low-maintenance? Composite and metal options stand up to Rhode Island weather with minimal upkeep. You get beauty and strength in every foot of railing.

Stairs That Fit the Space

Custom Runs, Landings & Angles for Every Yard

We don’t force stairs where they don’t fit. Every stair run is designed based on grade, elevation, and how your yard is laid out. We build single straight runs, wraparound stairs, and staircases with mid-level landings. Materials can match your deck or add contrast for a bold look. If you’ve been stepping off uneven or makeshift stairs, we can fix that fast—with proper footing and secure treads.

Built to Last—and Stay Safe

Hardware, Anchoring & Craftsmanship You Can Trust

We use through-bolted posts, corrosion-resistant fasteners, and secure bracketing systems to anchor all stairs and rails. No wobbles, no shortcuts. Whether you’re replacing a single handrail or upgrading your full deck perimeter, every piece is installed with care and checked for stability. We meet all Rhode Island code standards, and we build for safety you can feel with every step.

Designed for Rhode Island Homes and Yards

From raised decks in Johnston to compact platforms in Pawtucket, we build stairs and railings that work with your elevation and yard conditions. We factor in snow loads, wind exposure, and coastal moisture to select hardware and finishes that last. And because Rhode Island has a wide range of home styles, we design railings that fit in—visually and structurally.

  • Sloped lot? We design with proper rise/run and landings

  • Coastal zone? We use corrosion-resistant anchors

  • Historic home? We match traditional styles and trim
