Why aluminum fits Pickering's housing
Pickering grew in subdivision waves — Amberlea and Dunbarton in the 80s, Highbush and the eastern phases through the 90s and 2000s, and Seaton building out now. The earlier waves came with pressure-treated wood guards on their raised decks and walkouts, and those guards are now twenty to forty years old: grey, splintering, and loose at the posts. Aluminum picket is the direct replacement — code-height, no painting, and the least expensive of our three systems.
The walkout-basement geometry that makes Pickering a glass railing market also makes the budget case for aluminum: those decks need 42" guards plus stair runs to grade, so footage adds up fast. At $75/ft versus $100+ for glass, aluminum keeps a 45-foot guard-and-stairs package at a number most homeowners say yes to. Full system details on the aluminum railings page.
Code and permits
City of Pickering Building Services handles permits; like-for-like replacement is generally permit-free while new decks and their guards aren't. Heights: 36" (900 mm) up to 5'11" above grade, 42" (1,070 mm) beyond — most walkout decks are in the 42" class. Picket spacing under 100 mm, nothing climbable.

Pickering aluminum railing questions
What does aluminum railing cost in Pickering?
From $75/linear ft installed. Use the calculator for a straight run. A walkout deck with stairs needs a photo review so we can confirm the layout, mounting and any old-railing removal.
Is aluminum strong enough for a storey-high walkout deck?
Yes — properly anchored aluminum picket systems meet the Ontario Building Code's guard load requirements at the 42-inch height those decks need. The anchoring into the deck structure is what we're careful about, because that's where builder originals usually failed.
Should I repair or replace my builder wood railing?
If the posts wobble or the wood is soft at the joints, replacement wins — repair money disappears into a guard that still won't meet current code. Aluminum picket is the direct, lower-cost replacement; text photos and we'll give you the honest call.
Do Pickering railing jobs need permits?
Like-for-like replacement generally doesn't. New decks and guards go through City of Pickering Building Services. We flag it during quoting either way.
