About Cable Railings
Cable Railings in Medina, WA
Medina is waterfront living at the highest level, and almost every property is oriented to Lake Washington. On a home like that, the deck railing has one job above all others: stay out of the way of the water. A run of fine stainless cable does exactly that, holding a clean horizontal line that nearly vanishes against the lake while still doing the work a railing has to do.

Custom Cable Railings
Custom Cable Railings for Medina Waterfront Homes
On Medina, custom is simply how things are done. These are architect-designed homes on generous lakefront lots, and the decks, stairs, and terraces are drawn to the house rather than to a catalog. A stock cable kit has no place on a property built to this level; it would look exactly as out of place as it is, and it would not hold up to the lakeside conditions besides.
What custom means here is that we measure precisely, fabricate to the architect’s or designer’s spec, and finish every visible post and fitting to the standard the rest of the build is held to. That can mean long uninterrupted cable runs along a lakeside terrace, posts in a specified finish, or a system coordinated with glass and metal railings elsewhere on the home. We begin with a quote and a measure visit, work from your drawings when there are drawings, and build the railing in our Kent shop before installing it.
Interior Cable Railings
Interior Cable Railings in Medina, WA
Inside a Medina home, cable railings bring a restrained, modern line that suits the open and deliberately composed interiors these houses tend to have. On a floating or open staircase, fine horizontal cable keeps the structure reading as the architectural element it was designed to be, without a heavy infill competing for attention.
We pair stainless cable with posts and top rails selected to match the home’s millwork and metalwork, whether that is a fine stainless cap or a hardwood rail chosen to the interior palette. The cable is tensioned to stay taut, and the runs are spaced and detailed to the standard expected throughout the home.
Common interior projects in Medina:
- Floating and open-tread staircases with fine cable infill
- Gallery landings and upper-floor overlooks above open living spaces
- Cable runs coordinated with the home’s interior metalwork and millwork
- Lower-level, mezzanine, and wine-room stair railings
- Interior runs matched to exterior cable for a continuous look

Exterior Cable Railings
Exterior Cable Railings in Medina, WA
On Medina’s waterfront, the exterior railing has to disappear visually and perform on an exposed lakeside site for decades. We seal and detail the posts so the constant lakeside moisture has nothing to work on.
Most exterior cable railing projects in Medina fall into one of these categories:
- Lakeside terrace and deck railings facing Lake Washington
- Dock-access and waterfront pathway railings
- Pool-surround and spa-area cable railings with discreet posts
- Multi-level deck railings stepping down to the shoreline
- Cable runs coordinated with glass railings elsewhere on the estate
Local Experts
Medina and the Surrounding Points
Medina is small and every property is its own design problem, so we bring no assumptions from one job to the next. We come to the home, study the deck, the lake orientation, and the exposure, and design the cable system around those specifics. The level of finish expected here is high, and our work is built to meet it.
We also work throughout the communities that ring Medina, where the homes and the standards are much the same: Clyde Hill, Yarrow Point, Hunts Point, Beaux Arts Village, and the lakefront edge of West Bellevue. A great deal of our work in this corner of the Eastside arrives by referral from one finished project to the next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you match cable railings to the rest of the home’s metalwork?
Yes, and on Medina that coordination is often central to the project. Because we fabricate posts and rails in the same shop as our glass and metal railings, we can carry one finish across cable runs, glass panels, and stair railings so the whole home reads as a single design. Working from your architect's drawings, we hold the finishes consistent throughout.
How much maintenance do waterfront cable railings need?
Less than most owners expect. Stainless cable railings need only an occasional wipe-down and a periodic check of the cable tension, and quality hardware tensioned correctly at install holds for years.
