Why Choose Aluminum Railings?
Gone are the days of painting rusty iron or staining rotting wood. Aluminum is the superior choice for Quebec’s climate.
At Les Clôtures Duratech, we install premium aluminum railing systems that blend safety with sleek, contemporary design. Whether you need a simple handrail for your front steps or a complete perimeter for a second-story deck, we deliver a rock-solid installation that lasts a lifetime.
The Aluminum Advantage
Zero Maintenance
No rust, no peeling, no painting. A simple wash with soap and water keeps them looking new.
Safety First
Our railings meet all National Building Code height and strength requirements, ensuring your family and guests are safe from falls.
Modern Aesthetics
Clean lines and open designs (like glass or pickets) keep your view open while defining your space.
Durability
Built to withstand freezing winters and scorching summers without warping or cracking.
Our Railing Applications
1. Deck & Balcony Railings
Create a safe perimeter for your elevated spaces without blocking the view. We offer:
- Standard Picket: Classic vertical bars (black or white) for a timeless look.
- Glass Panel Style: For maximum visibility (great for pools and waterfronts).
2. Front Porch & Entry Steps
Boost your curb appeal while making your entrance safe for delivery drivers and guests. A sturdy black aluminum railing adds an instant modern touch to any brick or siding facade.
3. Stair Handrails
Essential for safety on steep outdoor staircases. We install continuous, graspable handrails that provide stability on icy winter mornings.
Our Installation Process
We anchor it right, so it never wobbles.
1.
Measurement & Quote: We visit your home to measure linear footage and assess the mounting surface (wood, composite, or concrete).
2.
Safety First (Info-Excavation): If we are digging new footings in the ground, we handle the utility check. You (the client) obtain the required municipal permit.
3.
Foundation / Anchoring:
- For Concrete/Ground: If pouring new pads, we wait 14 days for the concrete to cure before installing the posts.
- For Wood Decks: We ensure proper blocking is present under the deck boards to secure the lag bolts.
4.
Installation: We install the posts, mount the railing sections, and secure the top caps.
5.
Final Walkthrough: We test every section for stability and ensure the finish is flawless.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can you install railings on my existing wood deck?
Yes, provided the structure underneath is sound. We may need to add "blocking" (extra wood support) under the deck boards to ensure the bolts have something solid to grab onto.
Do I need a permit for aluminum railing installation?
Generally, yes. Any deck or balcony over a certain height (usually 24 inches) requires a permit to ensure the railing meets code (height, spacing, etc.). You obtain the city permit, but we ensure our installation meets all safety codes.
What colours are available?
Black is by far the most popular and modern choice. White is also available for a more traditional look.
How long does it take?
If mounting to an existing deck: 1-2 days. If pouring new concrete footings: we install posts, wait 14 days for cure, then finish the install.
Do you do glass railings?
We offer aluminum railing systems that can accept glass panels. Please mention this during your quote request so we can discuss specific models.
How Much Does a New Fence Cost?
Transparent Pricing for South Shore Montreal.
The average cost for a professional 6-foot residential fence typically ranges from $25 to $60 per linear foot.
Beware of the "Online Quote" Trap
Many companies lure customers with low "base prices" (e.g., $25/ft), only to add hidden costs later. At Les Clôtures Duratech, we believe in total transparency.
- Online Estimates: Often exclude corner posts, gates, and travel fees.
- The Final Bill: Can jump by 40% once privacy slats and labor are added.
- Our Promise: Every visual aspect of your yard is included in our on-site quote. No surprise invoices.
What Affects Your Price Per Foot?
Our on-site evaluation considers the real factors that online quotes ignore:
Site Access & Logistics
Tight spaces (under 36 inches) require manual digging. We also factor in safe parking for our heavy trucks and extra care to protect your landscaping or new paving stones.
Terrain
& Soil
Slopes and dips require longer posts or concrete sonotubes. Clearing vegetation or hitting hidden underground concrete slabs adds labor.
Custom
Details
We custom-fit the mesh flush to the ground to keep your pets secure. Also, project size matters: larger yards benefit from economies of scale (lower price per foot).
Prep
& Cleanup
Removing your old fence and hauling away excavated dirt are always discussed and priced clearly upfront.
