This is the #1 concern for local homeowners. Aluminum doesn't corrode or rust like steel or wood, making it exceptionally durable even against rain, sleet, snow, and sun.

KB Custom Railings are welded aluminum with a powder-coat finish for extra elemental protection. They are easy to maintain with simple soap-and-water cleaning when needed and ideal for Seattle's moisture-rich environment where moss and mildew are common concerns.

Permitting is a frequent point of confusion. Contractors familiar with the area handle permitting and coordinate with inspectors for Seattle DCI and King County, so homeowners don't have to chase paperwork. Many cheaper railings sold through big box stores use vague language like "check your local building codes" — a red flag that the product may not meet code under any conditions.

All of KB Custom Railings are code compliant. Our team is experienced with meeting and exceeding all building codes and specializes in proper railing mounting details. We only use the highest quality fasteners specified to structural mounting compliance for a code-legal and safe installation.

Buyers want to know their options. Railing heights are typically available in 36" or 42", with custom heights also an option. Standard colors are available, along with custom colors on a limited basis.
