Installing Fences, Railings, and Gates in Richmond, VA and Surrounding Cities

Railing Installation

The terms 'fencing' and 'railing' are often used interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. There are some similarities in the sense they both restrict access to a specific area, but railings have a secondary purpose that is much more meaningful. They are designed to be a barrier and ensure the safety of those standing behind them. Nasty falls can occur without railings on the outdoor stairs, balcony, or porch, and someone can get hurt.

A sturdy rail also prevents pets from wandering off and having an accident. Furthermore, rails are essential for helping people keep their balance, especially if they have a disability. Rails also provide extra safety from weather elements and can keep items from flying off on a particularly windy day.

Unlike fencing, railings require additional design and construction criteria. Fortunately, Eagle Home Renovation Inc. has all the necessary licenses and tools.

Types of Railing we install

Our clients have their pick of the excellent railing materials that we offer.

• Steel is a prevalent option because it's strong, durable, and coated with various paints and finishes. It's also quite versatile and weather resistant.

• Aluminum is a natural, lightweight, low-density material that requires very little maintenance and is relatively easy to install.

• A more expensive but gorgeous and durable option is wrought iron. It's a malleable material that can be turned into marvelous creations.

• A glass railing is excellent for the exterior and interior. It provides safety without blocking the view and therefore delivers more natural light into the home. Wood railings are another fantastic option due to their natural beauty and ability to blend into any design style. They are also easy to clean and maintain and are often the most affordable.

• Finally, the wide mesh infill railing is typically made from various metals and is common in industrial settings.

Gate Installation

Having a sturdy and durable gate on the property is incredibly important for many homeowners. Most families cherish their privacy, and a gate is an excellent starting point.

Gates provide better security because a professionally installed gate can be a deterrent for any potential intruders. If the yard already has a fence, adding a gate is the next step.

When a homeowner opens the gate when walking into their yard and closes it behind them, it provides a sense of protected space and safety every person deserves. Gates are often a necessary addition to driveways and pools areas and can be used in various ways.

Installing a high-quality gate on the property can be an excellent investment as it can increase the home value substantially. If the house goes on the market, a gate is a fantastic selling point.
