Frequently Asked Questions

It depends entirely on what you are looking at. On a Kennydale deck with a lake outlook, glass earns its cost because it preserves the reason you are out there. On an interior stair or a deck facing a fence line, cable gives you the same modern look for less and asks for far less cleaning. We are straight with clients about that.

No. Hand painted detail can be applied selectively, to a handful of feature elements rather than the whole run, which is an affordable way to get a made by hand look on a simple ornamental railing.

Close to the water, yes. Standard stainless grades spot within a few seasons in salt air, and on a minimal railing that corrosion is fully visible since there is no ornament to disguise it. The cost difference is modest against the railing as a whole and it is what keeps the hardware looking new in a decade.

We consider it the correct specification here rather than an upgrade. Standard stainless grades will eventually show spotting in constant lakeside humidity, and on a property where everything else has been specified to last, hardware that looks tired in a few years is a false economy. The difference in cost is small relative to the outcome.
