Railing installation in Pickering
Pickering is one of our priority service areas — a short run east from our Scarborough base. We install aluminum picket railings from $85/linear ft and framed or frameless glass from $120/linear ft on Pickering's walkout decks, front porches, and waterfront properties.
Railing work in Pickering
Pickering's housing splits into two clear railing jobs. The subdivisions built from the 1980s on — Amberlea, Highbush, Dunbarton, and newer phases around Seaton — are full of two-storey homes with raised rear decks and walkout basements. Those elevated decks are exactly where the Ontario Building Code wants 42-inch guards, and where glass turns a standard builder deck into the best seat in the house.
Down by the lake it's a different picture: the Nautical Village and the streets around Frenchman's Bay carry older cottages, rebuilt customs, and waterfront decks where frameless glass is the obvious answer — you don't buy a bay view to look at pickets.
Builder-grade wood railings from the 90s and 2000s are aging out across the city at the same time, which makes Pickering heavy on replacement work: old guard off, glass or aluminum on, often in one visit.

Common jobs around Pickering
Walkout-basement deck guards
Raised decks over walkouts need 42-inch guards and solid stair rails — the most common Pickering job and a natural fit for framed glass.
Waterfront glass
Frameless glass on decks and balconies around Frenchman's Bay and the lakefront, where the view is the whole point.
Builder-railing replacements
90s and 2000s wood guards swapped for aluminum picket or glass, brought up to current code heights in the process.
Permits in Pickering
The City of Pickering's Building Services issues permits locally. Replacing an existing railing like-for-like generally doesn't need one; new decks and their guards typically do, and pool enclosures are regulated under Pickering's own bylaw. We'll flag anything permit-shaped during quoting.
