Swimming Pool & Spa Handrail Installation

Mike the Poolman provides professional swimming pool handrail installation throughout Greater Sacramento, Folsom, El Dorado Hills and surrounding communities. Whether you want to make entering and exiting your pool or spa easier, improve accessibility, or simply add a stable handhold at the pool steps, we can help you select and install a rail that works with your existing pool and deck.

We specialize in adding handrails to existing swimming pools and spas, including pools that were originally built without handrail anchors. In many cases, a professionally installed handrail can be added without major changes to the surrounding pool deck.

Swimming Pool & Spa Handrail Installation

A properly positioned pool handrail can make entering and exiting the water significantly easier. Handrails provide a stable point of support at pool steps, spas and other entry areas and can be especially helpful for older adults or anyone who wants additional stability around the pool.

We install handrails on both newer and older swimming pools. The appropriate installation depends on the design of the pool, the location of the steps, the type of deck and the particular rail you select.

Before installing a rail, we evaluate the pool and deck so the handrail can be positioned where it provides useful support while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.

Adding a Handrail to an Existing Swimming Pool

You do not need to have handrail anchors installed when your pool is originally built. We regularly add handrails to existing pools that were constructed without them.

Depending on the rail and existing deck, installation may involve drilling the pool deck and installing anchors designed to securely hold the rail. Some handrail designs and mounting methods may provide additional options depending on the application.

If you are comparing mounting methods, you can also read our article about swimming pool handrails with or without anchors.

How Much Does Pool Handrail Installation Cost?

Swimming pool handrail installation cost varies because every pool, deck and installation is different. The price of the rail itself is only one part of the job.

Factors that can affect the installation price include:

  • The style and size of the handrail
  • Whether the rail is standard or custom-made
  • The material and condition of the existing pool deck
  • Whether new anchors need to be installed
  • The location of the pool steps and desired rail position
  • The difficulty of drilling or modifying the existing deck
  • Whether one rail or multiple rails are being installed

We prefer to evaluate the specific installation rather than give a one-size-fits-all price that may not apply to your pool. Contact Mike the Poolman and we can help determine the appropriate rail and provide a quote.

Pool Handrails for Easier and More Stable Pool Access

Many residential pool owners add handrails because they or a family member want a more stable way to enter and exit the water. A well-positioned rail can provide additional support when stepping into the pool or climbing out.

Handrails can also make an existing swimming pool more comfortable to use as mobility needs change over time. We can discuss different rail styles and mounting options based on your pool, deck and the needs of the people using the rail.

Choosing the Right Pool Handrail

There are many different handrail styles available for swimming pools and spas. Some provide a simple handhold at the pool steps, while others extend farther over the deck or water to provide additional support.

The best choice depends on your pool steps, deck layout, preferred appearance and the amount of support you want from the rail.

Below are examples of the handrail models, styles and color options available for many of the installations we perform.

  • Our pool heater hadn't been working for the past two years. It was time to replace it so I didn't hesitate to contact Mike. He had installed a variable speed pump a few years ago and did an excellent job. He had also done other equipment maintenance over the years. Mike was going to take a look at the heater to see what was wrong but I decided to just replace it as it was about 21 years old and continued to breakdown. Mike made a recommendation on a model and just finished installing it. He had to redo some plumbing to adjust to the new heater. He did an excellent job. He even repainted all of the plumbing pipes so it looks new.

    I can always rely on Mike if I have a swimming pool issue. He's friendly, kind and most of all very competent with any swimming pool issue. I can trust he will do the right thing and he always does. He even removed a few automatic valve actuators and converted them to manual without charge.
    I am grateful to have someone who I can trust in the swimming pool business who does outstanding work.
    Thank you Mike!

  • I've had pools serviced in various places I've resided; Davis, Encinitas and Folsom; Mike The PoolMan (Mike Stinson) has been the best service provider that I've experienced. Mike's made complete repairs that most Pool Servicers won't touch. Mike is the complete service provider for regular maintenance, equipment repair/replacement and starting your pool back up after you've had it resurfaced! Mike's been outstanding and Victor has performed in an excellent manner with my weekly as part of Mike's crew! Thanks Mike!

  • We needed a hand rail installed in our older pool.  Mike was consistently very responsive.  He offered a fair price and was always punctual.  He was especially helpful when we ran into a challenge installing the hand rail due to the age of the brick surrounding our pool.  His quick thinking enabled us to get the much-needed hand rail installed.  I can't recommend him highly enough!

  • I can't say enough good about Mike the Poolman.  When he came to my house to evaluate my pool issue, he first did a thorough review of my pool physically, looked at my pool controller settings, made several recommendations to me about how to take care of my pool better, and adjusted my pool controller settings right there on the spot for me!  Most importantly, he fixed my issue quickly and took great care in his work.  Mike's very friendly and reasonable in his rates.  Highly recommend!

  • I was made aware of Mike's pool company by seeing one of his service trucks in my neighborhood and thought to give them a call. I recently moved into a new home with a pool that had been neglected over the past few years, and needed advice on how to bring it back to life.

    Mike immediately got back to me and let me know he would personally stop by my property to give it a look. He let me know what was needed for repairs, and what wasn't necessary in the short term. He never tried to up-sell me, just gave me an honest answer and good advice.

    I ended up having Mike install a new filter and variable speed pump. The equipment purchase was made through him, and along with labor, the price was incredibly fair. After the install, Mike gave me a full rundown on the new equipment, and provided several suggestions and advice on maintaining the pool.

    All in all I was very pleased with his professionalism and service. Will be calling him again if needed.
