Picket Railing on Stucco Entry Steps
Project Overview
Black picket railing installed on the white stucco entry steps and landing of a modern home with black posts, black door and bluestone treads.
Analysis
The entry is a study in white and black, so the rail was kept to a plain picket profile with heavy black posts to match the canopy supports.
Process
Measure, fabrication, powder coat, one-day install, and finishing touches at the stucco.
Outcome
A graphic black-on-white entry railing that matches the home’s modern palette.
