On Johns Island, more homeowners are starting to lean toward aluminum deck railing as the area continues to grow and homes get more updated. It holds up better in the humidity and coastal air without rotting or constant upkeep, which is a big reason people are moving away from traditional wood. The clean, simple look also fits newer builds going up around Maybank and Bohicket. For a lot of projects now, it’s less about short-term cost and more about putting something in that lasts and doesn’t need to be messed with later.
