Styles of Decks

Platform, Raised, and Freestanding Decks

Platform, raised, and freestanding decks all benefit from a well-designed deck railing system that defines the perimeter and adds visual structure. Skirting options include lattice skirting, composite deck skirting, vinyl skirting, and horizontal or vertical boards.

Multi-Level Decks

Multi-level decks require railing systems that transition cleanly between elevations while maintaining consistent design. Each level can carry its own railing profile for a layered outdoor aesthetic.

Curved Decks and Privacy Screens

Curved decks call for railing systems fabricated to follow the deck's organic lines. Privacy screens are incorporated using solid wood panels, faux stone panels, or stone and brick skirting.

Cantilevered and Rooftop Decks

Cantilevered and rooftop decks require railing engineered for elevated exposure and wind load demands. Post anchoring and structural fastening are handled with extra care on these builds.

Screened Porch and Covered Deck

Screened porches and covered decks integrate railing that frames the structure and defines transitions between open and enclosed areas. Both styles benefit from railing that complements the home's architectural details.

Pool and Spa Decks

Pool and spa deck railing must meet strict safety codes while handling moisture, UV exposure, and pool chemicals. We select materials rated for wet environments to ensure long-term performance.

We were 100% pleased with the results of our Top South deck. Both management and workers were a pleasure to work with. Communications were great - always able to talk directly to decision-makers and receive online updates of the work progress. A professional outfit.

We recently replaced our pressure treated wood deck and hired Top South Decks & Porches to built the frame in Feb. As we handled permit, demolish, and decking/guardrail ourselves, the review is about deck frame and customer service only. It is an overall very pleasant experience with Federico and his crew. Pros: Federico is very knowledgeable about his work. He replied most of my email/text within 24 hours, answered all my questions, and communicated everything clearly. His quote is competitive and outlined all the works to be done. His crew is very efficient and had the work done quickly. He also stopped by multiple times to address our concerns in a timely manner. He stood behind his word and replaced a splitting post after the job is completed. Cons: Because the crew got things done fairly quick, they did not pay much attention to material selection. We saw the scrapped cut post is of better quality than the piece used. I also found a few nails near the worksite after the crew left. Again, Top South Decks & Porches got the job done as expected and honored the warranty. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a decent deck builder.

INCREDIBLE experience with Federico & team over at Top South! We had an old sinking sunroom from the 80s, and they completely transformed it! Federico was a great communicator along the way and was the best problem solver when it came to our older home. They provided us with detailed renderings and provided plenty of material options/recommendations. The best part is he is a licensed and professional contractor, so you know everything is being done right with integrity. They made the permitting process so easy. When getting a job like this done, you have to trust your team and we definitely did! THANK YOU again!!

We had an excellent experience with Top South D&P. They redid our master bathroom shower, transformed a half bath into a full bath, and painted our entire house. The quality of their work is outstanding. They are incredibly thorough, keep everything clean and well-contained, and are some of the hardest workers we’ve ever worked with. Federico and his crew are extremely responsive and truly take pride in what they do. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Top South D&P to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality construction work.
