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.

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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
Loosen the 1/2 bolt and the rail slides out.
