Railings Installation

How Do You Choose the Right Railing Style for Your Deck?

Railings are one of the most visible elements of any deck, and one of the most frequently rushed. Paquette Contracting treats railing installation in Ottawa as a design decision, not a finishing formality, selecting and fitting each system to match the specific character of the build.

Your railing should look like it was designed for your deck.

Which Railing Style Is Right for Your Deck?

Aluminum Railings


  • Low-maintenance and corrosion-resistant in Ottawa's freeze-thaw climate
  • Clean, modern profile that complements both composite and wood decks
  • Available in multiple colours and finishes to match your home's exterior

Glass Railings


  • Frameless design preserves sightlines and maximizes backyard views
  • Tempered safety glass panels built to meet residential building codes
  • Pairs exceptionally well with Trex composite decking for a premium aesthetic

Wood and Aluminum Picket Railings


  • Combines the warmth of wood with the durability of aluminum hardware
  • Classic picket profile suited to traditional and transitional home styles
  • Custom spacing and finish options available per project

What Makes a Paquette Railing Installation Different?

Most contractors treat railings as the last item on the checklist — ordered in bulk and installed generically. At Paquette Contracting, we approach every railing installation in Embrun and across Ottawa as a design decision made at the start of the project, not the end.
