View service →Steps that need a rail
Los Angeles is full of steps: long concrete stairs up to hillside houses in Echo Park and Mount Washington, front steps on Craftsman bungalows, and walkways that drop down to garages and back yards. Many have a short rail on one side, a rail that has rusted loose, or nothing at all.
A good handrail is easy to grip, runs the full length of the steps, and does not move when someone leans on it. That is what we quote.
Handrail basics
- Residential code generally requires a handrail on stairs with four or more risers.
- Handrails are typically 34 to 38 inches above the step nosings.
- A round rail around 1¼ to 2 inches across is easiest to grip.
- Long hillside stairs are safer with a rail on both sides.
- Your city's building code has the final say.
How it works
- Send the details — call or use the form; a couple of photos help.
- Measure and choose — length, mounting and material are confirmed on site.
- Install — most handrails go in during a single visit once fabricated.

Frequently asked questions
Can you add a handrail to long concrete stairs up a hillside?
Yes. Long runs are installed in sections with posts set into the concrete at regular spacing, and the rail is joined so the grip is continuous from bottom to top.
How long does it take to install a handrail?
Many handrails go in during one visit. Custom metal rails are fabricated after measuring, which adds lead time.
Do I need a permit for a handrail?
Adding or replacing a simple handrail usually does not need one, but requirements vary by city. Your installer can confirm for your address.
Do you install handrails at businesses and apartment buildings?
Yes — including ADA-compliant handrails for ramps, entrances and stairwells.
