Expert Railing Replacement & Repair in The Coastal Carolinas

Railing replacement and repair in the Coastal Carolinas means working in one of the harshest outdoor environments in North Carolina. Salt air, high humidity, and storm winds accelerate wear on railings faster than most homeowners expect. Loose posts, corroded hardware, and cracked balusters are common signs that a railing system needs attention. At Gator Strong, we assess the full railing system, not just the visible damage. We replace or repair deck railings, porch railings, and stair railings across residential properties in the Coastal Carolinas. North Carolina building code requires guardrails on decks 30 inches or more above grade, with a minimum height of 36 inches for single-family homes. We work to those standards on every job. Whether your railing is failing from coastal exposure or storm impact, we give you a clear picture of what needs to happen and get it done right. Call Gator Strong to schedule your railing assessment.

I have to say that I am so impressed and grateful at the same time for the care and the service that I was given from this Company. There was just a small issue with my newer Storm Shutters and with in the time of a phone call to Jeremy And Meredith, the attention was Immediate.. A phone call was made to the gentleman, Francisco, who installed them originally, and he was actually nearby. He was here In such a short time It was just a small thing that needed to be fixed and he took care of it immediately. He even took the time to answer some questions that I had and showed me some more effective ways of maintaining my shutters. They really are at a very high level of professionalism and caring for their customers. I highly recommend this company to everyone. Thank you all at Gator Strong Maggy Bednarz

We needed a small fence enclosure to be installed on an existing concrete pad to conceal our trash bins. We chose Gator since they provided the lowest estimate of three that we requested while covering exactly what was needed. Thanks to Grady for understanding the requirements and addressing my questions, concerns, and change requests while we were deciding how to proceed. Thanks to Sergio and Mario for the quality workmanship and quick completion of the project.

Grady was amazing in working with us to not only have this done quickly, he was extremely helpful walking us through the process. The crew that showed up were very polite, asked all the right questions to make us feel at ease about this project and would recommend them for your next job!

Excellence service and great price. I had to have my 15 year old fence gate replaced as it was warped and dogs were able to get out the side of it. Grady S was my sales/service rep and was very attentive coming out and giving me an estimate and telling me about all my options. Gave me an excellent price to replace my gate. The installation team came to perform the switch within 2 weeks. They also did an excellent job with the installation and rebuilding of the gate. Matched up perfectly and worked great with no issues. I would highly recommend Grady and the Gator Fence team in the future with anything fence related.

I wanted to enclose my patio and put a fence around the yard. I worked with Mike from Gator Strong Fence. He helped me with all the necessary paperwork and the crew that came to do the installation were professional and patience with my questions and they did a fantastic job. I couldn’t be happier.
