EXTERIOR SERVICE
Kitchens, baths, and basements — gut to finished..
Aluminum, composite, wood and cable railings — built for safety and built to last. We bring decks and porches up to current code with proper post anchoring, baluster spacing and rail height. Plus accessibility ramps and ADA-compliant grab systems.
THUNDER PRO RAILING SYSTEMS
Railing architecture dictates safety, views, and longevity
We do not treat railings as simple cosmetic barriers. Structural anchoring, lateral load resistance, material weathering, and post spacing fundamentally change how secure your perimeter is and what your deck or staircase looks like for decades.
01Ultra-Clean Modern Lines
Powder-Coated Aluminum Systems
Our premier recommendation for residential and commercial perimeters. Zero rust, zero painting, and thin profiles that maximize your outdoor views.
—Engineered for high lateral load resistance—Premium powder-coated finish prevents fading or blistering—Integrates perfectly with wood or composite deck structures
02Unobstructed Panoramic Views
Stainless Steel Cable Railings
The ultimate modern upgrade. Heavy-duty marine-grade steel cables running through rigid posts to give you maximum safety with near-invisible lines.
—Industrial-grade T316 stainless steel cable assemblies—Sleek, contemporary aesthetic that doesn’t block landscapes—Requires minimal seasonal tension adjustments
03Classic Low-Maintenance Path
Premium Vinyl & Composite Systems
A robust, heavy-profile solution designed for traditional architectures. Delivers a clean, classic look without any of the rot or splintering of old wood railings.
—Internal aluminum structural reinforcement in top/bottom rails—Excellent resistance to mold, moisture, and scratching—Perfect match for standard multi-family or family home layouts
EARLY WARNING
things to consider
01
Warning 01
Loose or Wobbly Posts
A catastrophic structural failure waiting to happen; usually caused by rotted wood blocking or failing fasteners at the base connection.
02
Warning 02
Wide Balaustre Spacing
If vertical or horizontal openings allow a 4-inch sphere to pass through, the system poses an immediate, severe child safety hazard.
03
Warning 03
Rust & Rotted Connections
Corroded lag screws or soft wood at connection points mean the entire system has lost its ability to arrest a fall.
04
Warning 04
Improper Handrail Grip
Out-of-code top rails that are too wide or lack a continuous graspable profile make stairways dangerous for daily use.

Things people actually ask.
More questions? Call +1 (555) 123-7846 or request an estimate — we don't believe in pressure sales.
How do you price?
Fixed-price. We bid the whole scope — materials, labor, overhead, profit — as a single number. No cost-plus, no "plus materials." If we miss something, it's on us.
Can we live in the house during?
Yes. We use dust-containment systems (negative-air machines) and protect work areas with plastic and floor coverings. Most occupied remodels are phased to keep at least one bathroom and kitchen functional, or we set up a temporary kitchen if needed.
How do change-orders work?
Any change to the original scope — whether you decide to upgrade a finish or we find an unforeseen condition — is documented in writing with the price impact. Nothing gets built without your signed approval.
What about permits?
We pull all required building, electrical, and plumbing permits for you. Permit fees are included in the fixed price, and we coordinate all inspections.
