Is there a minimum for a standalone balcony or exterior railing project?

Standalone projects start at $15,000. Smaller scopes may be included in a coordinated door and window project. We review scope, budget and site requirements before arranging a visit or preparing drawings.

How is a custom railing priced?

Each balcony is drawn and quoted on its own: the run, the returns, the pattern and the anchorage set the investment. A balcony drawn with the windows and doors behind it is quoted as one project. Residence projects typically $60k–$250k+.

Do your balcony railings meet code?

Yes. Your architect, builder or code professional confirms the code that governs the address, and our shop drawings carry its guard heights and opening limits (typically a 4-inch sphere) without letting code do the designing.

How is a balcony railing anchored?

Into structure, never into finish. Posts and brackets land on the blocking, embeds or slab edge your engineer approves, and every penetration is sealed with the waterproofing so water stays out of the wall.

Which finish holds up outdoors in Texas?

An exterior finish system chosen for the exposure: full sun, pool water, sprinklers and shade each change the specification. You see the finish at full size at the showroom, and the drawings keep water from standing on the steel.

What is the difference between a Juliet rail and a full balcony?

A Juliet rail guards a door or tall window with no floor behind it; a full balcony has a floor you can step onto, so its guard, anchorage and drainage are drawn with the structure. Both are drawn to the facade they sit on.
