Is Hood River inside your normal service area for exterior work?
Yes. Hood River is about an hour out and part of the regular schedule, along with Mosier, Cascade Locks, and White Salmon across the bridge.
Do you build railings for vacation rental decks?
Regularly. Rental decks and exterior stairs see constant guest use, so we build them in metal and cable systems that take the traffic, and the project can start from photos if you are not local.
Will an exterior railing stand up to Hood River sun and weather?
Built right, yes. We use powder-coated steel finished for full exposure, aluminum where moisture collects, tempered glass, and sealed connections. The east Gorge adds sun to the usual Northwest rain, and the finish work is chosen with that in mind.
Glass or cable for a windy Gorge deck?
It depends on what you want from the wind. Glass panels block a good share of it, which can turn an unusable afternoon deck into the best seat in town, while still holding the river view. Cable lets the wind pass through entirely, which some owners prefer. We talk it through at the deck itself.
