What moves an aluminum quote
Layout is the big one — raked stair rails, extra landings, and more posts take fabrication and install time. Removal and disposal of old iron or wood adds $5/ft. Anchoring conditions matter too: sound concrete is quick, crumbling concrete around rusted old posts needs prep, and stone caps need care. Decorative picket patterns (spindles, circles) add modestly over straight pickets.
