Built for Safety, Designed for Style — Custom Railings & Stairs

Deck Railings and Stair Installation

The Right Finishing Touch for Elevated Outdoor Living

Crafted Railings & Stairs That Meet Code and Match Your Deck

A deck is only as safe and accessible as the railings and stairs that support it. Alliance Deck Builders of Nebraska specializes in custom-designed railing and stair systems built for your deck’s exact size, elevation, and use. Whether you prefer a classic wood handrail, modern cable system, or low-maintenance composite option, our solutions offer long-term durability with clean lines and solid footing. Every install is code-compliant, properly anchored, and tailored to your space—whether you're building new or upgrading an existing deck.

More Than Looks — Our Builds Prevent Accidents

Safe, Code-Ready Designs That Complement Your Deck

We take railing and stair safety seriously. Our team evaluates height requirements, post spacing, and load-bearing capacity to ensure every system meets or exceeds Nebraska building codes. We also take weather exposure into account—especially freeze-thaw cycles and high winds—to ensure structural integrity over time. Whether you need wide platform stairs for easy access or narrow spiral stairs for space savings, we deliver solutions that look great and work hard.

  • Meets IRC & local code for height and spacing

  • Secure fasteners for wind & weight loads

  • Durable in all Nebraska seasons

Custom Materials, Custom Look — Built to Fit Any Deck

Choose Wood, Composite, Metal, or Cable Rail Options

Our railing and stair systems are available in a full range of materials to match your existing deck or elevate your outdoor design. For a natural look, we offer pressure-treated pine or cedar. For low-maintenance builds, composite or PVC railings hold up against the elements. Want a sleek, modern aesthetic? We also install powder-coated aluminum and stainless steel cable systems. Stair treads can be built from matching decking or contrasting materials for a bold look. Every build is fully customizable down to the balusters, post caps, lighting, and handrails.

Deck Stairs Built for Safety and Daily Use

We Design for Function, Comfort & Compliance

Your stairs should do more than just connect levels—they should offer sure footing, comfortable step depth, and dependable support. We offer both straight and switchback stair layouts, along with custom landings, handrails, and lighting. All stair risers, treads, and railings are built to spec, with a focus on walkability, code clearance, and aging-in-place features where needed. From single-step transitions to multi-story platforms, we ensure each build is safe, solid, and slip-resistant.

New Installations or Upgrades to Existing Structures

Replace Worn Railings or Add Stairs to Your Current Deck

We’ll ensure structural tie-ins are secure and that materials blend seamlessly with what you already have.
