Repair or replace?

Frequently asked questions
Is a loose railing dangerous?
It can be. A railing that moves when you lean on it may not hold if someone falls against it. It is worth getting it fixed promptly.
Can you repair a railing anchored in brick or concrete steps?
Yes. Loose railings in masonry are usually re-set with new anchoring after the damaged material around the post is cleaned out.
Can you fix a railing on a rooftop deck?
Yes. Loose rooftop railings usually come down to the post connections, which need to be re-secured without damaging the roofing underneath.
