The existing wood porch railing had been fighting the elements for years and losing. The posts were soft in spots, the finish had peeled away, and the whole thing had started to feel loose underfoot. Beyond the eyesore, it was a genuine safety concern, especially for anyone using the steps regularly.

I removed the old wood railing completely and installed a clean metal post system with coated cable runs. The new railing is solid, low-maintenance, and opens up the sightline from the porch instead of boxing it in. No more painting, no more rotting, no more wondering if it’ll hold.
