Bring Your Dream Railing to Life – How to Submit a Design Quote Request

Are you planning to install a modern deck railing, stair handrails, or barriers for a balcony or indoor passageway? The first step to making your vision a reality is submitting a custom design quote request. At BLIKA, we make the process of transforming your ideas into a custom design and a seamless installation experience—clear, efficient, and stress-free.

Why Submit a Design Quote Request?

Standard railing kits are often "generic" and may not perfectly fit the structure and aesthetic needs of your space. A custom design quote:

  • Provides accurate plans based on actual measurements and slope

  • Avoids measurement errors and material waste

  • Clearly lists all parts and their costs

  • Ensures the final product fits your structural and aesthetic requirements

Whether you need straight railings, L-shaped corners, stair railings, or combinations for indoor/outdoor spaces, a complete design quote request makes communication more efficient and accurate.

How to Prepare Your Request? Focus on These Key Points

When preparing your request, please provide the following information:

1. Mark the Location of the Railing Posts

On a floor plan, sketch, or photos, clearly mark the start and end points of where you want the railing to be installed. 

2. Mark the Location and Direction of Stairs

If there are stairs, mark the direction, number of steps, and railing alignment—this is crucial for the design. 

3. Provide Measurements/Height

Make sure to accurately provide the length, height, and any corner dimensions of each section of the railing. Accurate measurements help us create the most precise quote. 

4. Provide Multiple Angled Photos

Different angles of photos (front, side, overhead) will help us better understand the site conditions, reducing potential errors or adjustments in design.

Why Are Multiple Angled Photos Important?

Real-site images help us assess your project’s unique conditions:

  • Show Material Thickness and Placement: We’ll see the actual thickness of walls, beams, and other materials.

  • Identify Obstacles: Photos highlight obstacles like posts, doors, or fences that might affect where the railing can be installed.

  • Assess Slopes and Drops: We can better plan for sloped areas or uneven ground, making sure your railing fits perfectly.

Without actual photos, it’s challenging to determine if angled posts, adjustable fittings, or hidden installation methods are needed. These important details will be accounted for in your quote once we have clear images.

What Happens After You Submit?

Once you submit the required information, BLIKA's designers will assess your needs and site conditions to provide professional, customized railing renderings, helping you visualize the design. We’ll then provide a clear, custom quote and confirm the design and material selection with you. Upon your approval, we’ll send you a detailed parts list and an easy-to-follow installation guide. This streamlined process not only helps you save money but also ensures there are no unexpected surprises or revisions along the way, making your project as smooth and efficient as possible.

Pro Tip: Preparing Precise Measurements Before Submitting

To get the most accurate quote, we recommend the following:

  • Use a Tape Measure: Measure each section of the railing accurately.

  • Mark the Positions of Posts and Walls: Note where posts, beams, or walls are located.

  • Identify Stairs, Slopes, or Corners: Be sure to include details for sloped areas or corners.

  • Label Surfaces: Indicate whether you’re installing on wood, concrete, or fascia.

With these details, we can provide you with the most precise, professional quote and design plan.

Conclusion

Submitting a design quote request isn’t just about “sending a request” — it’s about providing your vision and site conditions to professionals who will create a cusom solution. By following a clear request process, you’ll:

  • Save time and avoid unnecessary back-and-forth.

  • Ensure your design is a perfect fit for the site.

  • Receive a transparent breakdown of materials and costs.

  • Lock in your materials and timeline in advance.
