## Questions and answers

### Does Klema Builders offer railings, stairs & handrails in San Antonio?

Klema Builders fabricates and installs custom railings, exterior steel stairs, and handrails across San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country and the I-35 corridor to Austin. Steel, iron, and cable railing systems for decks and balconies, plus engineered stairs and graspable handrails for elevation changes, all built to current code and finished for Texas UV. Every railing and stair is quoted fixed-price after we measure on site.

### How much do custom railings cost in San Antonio?

Railings are quoted fixed-price after we measure the deck or stair on site. Picket steel or iron is the lower-cost system, and stainless cable costs more because of the posts, hardware and tensioning, but the linear footage, the number of corners and stair runs, and the finish decide the number. The site visit and the quote are free.

### Cable railing or picket railing?

Cable railing keeps a view open and reads modern. Picket railing in steel or iron is more traditional, lower cost, and easier to maintain. The right choice depends on your view, home style, and budget. We walk you through both.

### How much do exterior steel stairs cost?

Steel stairs are quoted fixed-price after we measure the site. A single set of deck steps with a handrail is a small fabrication job; a multi-run staircase with landings on a sloped Hill Country lot is engineered work, and the span, elevation change, and landing count set the price. The site visit and the quote are free.

### Are your railings and stairs built to code?

Yes. We build railing height, baluster spacing, stair rise and run, and graspable handrails to current IRC and Texas code, so the work passes inspection and is safe for everyday use.

### What railing systems do you build?

Traditional steel and wrought iron picket railings suit most Hill Country homes and give the strongest sense of a finished, permanent build. Stainless cable railing keeps sightlines open, which is the right call when a deck looks out over a view worth keeping. We fabricate railings to the exact rise, run, and angle of your deck or stairs, so the system fits the structure cleanly rather than being forced to standard panel sizes.

### Will my steel stairs and handrails pass inspection?

Hill Country lots change grade fast, and a lot of outdoor living projects come down to getting people safely between levels. We fabricate steel stair stringers that handle real spans and loads, with consistent rise and run so every step feels the same underfoot. Railing height, baluster spacing, and graspable handrail profiles are not optional details. We build to current IRC and Texas code so the work passes inspection and, more importantly, keeps your family safe.

Every Klema Builders project comes with pass-through manufacturer warranties (Trex up to 50 years, TimberTech up to 50, Fiberon up to 30, Azenco up to 25) registered in the homeowner's name at the walk-through.
