Seattle Railing Replacement
A Seattle home’s existing glass railing was replaced with a white Classic Picket system. Explore the project photographs and the details of this residential railing update.
From Existing Glass to White Picket Railings
The homeowner contacted American Railworks after a glass panel came loose in the existing railing. The project involved removing and disposing of the existing system and installing a replacement railing.
The selected design was Classic Picket with a white powder-coat finish. The vertical pickets create a different visual pattern from the glass panels shown in the earlier photographs. Compare the upper deck and lower balcony in the project views below.
The railings were ordered ahead of the installation. For this particular project, removal and replacement were completed on the same day. That sequence reflects this job’s preparation and scope; timing for another home must be discussed separately.

Fascia mounts are another popular option for installing deck railings. Unlike surface mounts, fascia mounts attach directly to the fascia board of your deck, providing a clean and seamless look. This mounting method is ideal for decks with limited space or those that require a more integrated and streamlined appearance.
