Wood railing and PVC vinyl railing are affordable options, but can limit your view of the surrounding landscape due to their wider balusters. Cable, decorative metal and especially glass maximize visibility, but at a higher cost.<\/p>\n Porch and deck railing can be a mix-and-match option too. Wood or composite railing used with metal or cable balusters are popular options, for example.<\/p>\n Railing kits allow you to choose your railing style and balusters separately. They\u2019re a good DIY option, but take longer to assemble and install. That drives up installation cost if you hire a pro for the work. Pre-assembled railing panels cost more for materials but install more quickly and affordably.<\/p>\n The remaining of the deck railing cost estimate covers cost factors and the retail cost of deck railing supplies should you consider purchasing and assembling your own railings. All related costs including permits and installation labor costs are discussed along with sample projects using the cost ranges for each material.<\/p>\n The list of porch and deck railing price factors starts with those related to materials and moves to labor cost factors.<\/p>\n There are additional deck railing cost factors specific to each type. They can be found in the individual cost estimates linked to above.<\/p>\n Here are the average material costs for the most popular railing types. Differences reflect quality, materials specifications and whether they railings are kits, which cost less than preassembled panels.<\/p>\n See the specific Business Finance News for the materials you are considering for an itemized breakdown of retail costs.<\/p>\n This comparison of deck railing costs for popular materials puts the cost per linear foot into perspective.<\/p>\n Three projects are used. Each deck is 500 square feet:<\/p>\n 1). Rectangular 20\u2019 x 25\u2019, single-level Deck with 65 feet railing: <\/strong><\/p>\n 2). L-shaped deck, single-level deck with 100 feet railing<\/strong><\/p>\n 3). Two-level Deck with Stairs & Rails between levels, 115 feet of railing: <\/strong><\/p>\n Old railing costs about $3 per linear foot to remove when contractors take it down and dispose of it.<\/p>\n If you have a large amount of railing to remove or are demolishing an entire deck, which contractors charge $5-$7 per square foot to remove and dispose of, renting a dumpster and DIY is a cost-saving option. Cost per cubic foot of container space goes down as the containers size goes up.<\/p>\n Savvy homeowners often rent a larger dumpster and share the cost with neighbors who have cleanup projects of their own. It\u2019s an option that saves everyone on disposal costs.<\/p>\n Cost details are found in our Dumpster Rental Costimate.<\/p>\n Installation time and cost varies by material and whether panels are preassembled or assembled\/stick-built onsite.<\/p>\n Each Deck Railing Cost Estimate we\u2019ve produced includes specifics, but here\u2019s a general range of installation labor costs.<\/p>\n Installation time frames vary just as much. Installing 50 linear feet of deck railing can take as little as a few hours to more than a day depending on the material, railing complexity and, again, whether preassembled panels are used.<\/p>\n Assembling a panel kit takes more time but will save you more money by doing it yourself. It can also be more difficult because you\u2019ll have to make more material cuts than if installing preassmebled panels.<\/p>\n There is a DIY or Pro<\/strong> section in each Deck Railing Cost Guide where specific challenges for each material are discussed. Most also have links to video or written tutorials that will help you decide if installing deck railing yourself is within your skill set.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" $30 \u2013 $500+ Per Linear Foot The cost of professionally installed deck railing starts at about $30 per linear foot for vinyl and tops $500 for upscale glass.
