Cable Railing Frequently Asked Questions

Alexandria homeowners commonly ask these questions about cable railings.

What are the advantages of cable railings?

Also known as wire railings, metal railings, wire handrails, or cable handrails, cable railings are popular for their clean, modern look and minimal visual obstruction. The thin stainless-steel cables allow for unobstructed views, making them ideal for decks, balconies, staircases, and homes with scenic surroundings. They are also durable, weather-resistant, and require relatively little maintenance compared to traditional railing materials.  

What is the average cost to install cable railings?

The average cost for cable railing installation typically ranges from $150 to $350 per linear foot, depending on the materials used, the type of posts, and your project’s complexity. Costs may vary depending on whether the system utilizes wood, metal, or composite posts and whether installation is indoors or outdoors. 

How are cable railings installed?

Cable railings are installed by running stainless steel cables horizontally between posts and securing them with specialized tensioning hardware. The cables are carefully tightened to maintain proper tension and spacing, ensuring both safety and durability. Once installed, the cables create a strong barrier while maintaining an open view. 

Are cable railings safe for children and pets?

Yes, when installed correctly and built to code, cable railings are safe for children and pets. Building codes typically require cables to be spaced closely enough that a 4-inch sphere cannot pass through, preventing small children from slipping through the openings. Proper tensioning of the cables is also important to maintain safety. 

How far apart should cables be spaced?

Cable spacing is usually 3 to 4 inches apart to comply with most building codes. This spacing ensures the railing meets the common safety requirement that openings cannot allow a 4-inch sphere to pass through. 

Will cable railings sag over time?

High-quality cable railing systems are designed to maintain tension over time. The cables are typically made from stainless steel and secured with tensioning hardware that keeps them tight. While minor adjustments may occasionally be needed, properly installed cable railings generally maintain their strength and appearance for many years. 

Do cable railings require maintenance?

Like floating stairs, cable railings require minimal maintenance. Periodic cleaning with mild soap and water helps keep the stainless-steel cables looking their best. It’s also recommended to occasionally check the cable tension and hardware to ensure everything remains secure. 

How long do cable railings last?

When made from high-quality stainless steel and properly installed, cable railings can last 20 years or more. They are highly resistant to corrosion, weather exposure, and general wear, making them a durable long-term railing solution.

What a great team, from Aiden to Rick to Steve to Jerry our installer! Watching interior walls disappear and replaced with mahogany rails, white posts and stainless cables was amazing. Jerry worked without breaks and did an incredible finishing job! Charlie

Cregger Construction did a great job on our new staircase. They were able to create a custom look that really goes with our rustic modern home. The new staircase not only looks great but it also brings light and better HVAC airflow between the great room and lower level den. I think that the best compliment is that it blends in so well that it looks like it's always been there. Many thanks to the owner, Chuck Cregger and his hard working team: Steve, Justice, Ricky, Mike, Brian, and Allison. The creative design ideas, custom shop work, and installation were really impressive. We look forward to working with them again on additional projects to upgrade our home.

Cregger did such a great job! Our new staircase made out of Acacia wood looks so beautiful. Steve was awesome at communicating from the start and met every deadline. Their team was extremely professional and took great care to protect everything while removing the old staircase and railings and while adding the new. Jerry and Bradley worked late on day two to finish a day early. They did a great job cleaning up and leaving everything very clean. I would hire them again 💯!!

Great job! Installer was very professional, focused on the quality of his work. The installed railing was the last step of my kitchen remodel which overlooks into a sunken family room… the finished product is beautiful!

We are so glad that we chose Cregger Construction for our deck project- they do high quality work. The builders are attentive to detail, efficient and respectful of their work space. We asked for picture framed stairs with gaps In the risers and they more than delivered on this front. Our project manager gave us frequent updates and was patient when we asked for a redesign of the stairs (adding a landing half way down), requiring him to resubmit for a permit. He made sure the project moved along for us and everything was complete. The owner, Chuck, is super friendly and knowledgeable and this attitude carries throughout his company. Lastly, all front end staff were always friendly and helpful when we had to deal with payment logistics or help with our HOA application.

We have used Cregger twice now. First for deck railing and outdoor privacy structures, and now to update our master bathroom. Each time, the team has great communication and fair prices. One of the advantages we found on the bathroom project was that Mike did most all of the work himself. Less time waiting around for various contractors and more time getting the work done. The work quality was great and we couldn't be happier. Attached are some before (blue walls) and after pics
