Did you know? All Markham projects are fabricated at our Vaughan manufacturing facility and installed by our in-house team — no subcontractors. This ensures full quality control from design to inspection.
Why Railing Inspections Fail in Markham
DIY kits often come in standard 36" heights, which fail code for higher decks.
Posts attached only to decking boards (instead of blocking/joists) will wobble and fail load tests.
Using non-safety glass is a major violation and a serious safety hazard.
"Because we manufacture and install in-house, Aluminum Solutions eliminates these issues before inspection."

Common Questions from Markham Homeowners
Do I need a permit for railings in Markham?
Generally, if you are replacing existing railings with the same height and layout, a permit might not be required. However, for new decks or structural changes, Markham building codes usually require a permit. We can help guide you through this process.
Are your railings suitable for the Markham winter?
Absolutely. Our aluminum products are designed specifically for the Canadian climate. They will not rust, rot, or crack even in the harshest winter conditions common in Markham.
How long does installation take in Markham?
Since we manufacture locally, our lead times are often shorter than competitors. Once your custom railings are ready, installation in Markham typically takes 1-2 days depending on the project size.
