Once a niche alternative to wood or composite systems, aluminum railing has emerged as a go-to choice for professional deck builders who want performance without compromise. Its clean lines, strength-to-weight ratio, and resistance to rust and fading make it ideal for outdoor environments that demand longevity as much as style. Low maintenance and high design value have made aluminum a favorite for projects that aim to look sharp season after season. It’s no surprise, then, that builders like Jeff Woods Construction in Crossville, Tenn, and Twin Brothers Construction in Minnesota have made it their standard.
Jeff Woods Construction: A Standard of Quality
Jeff Woods Construction has built a reputation for excellence across three divisions: roofing, custom homes, and outdoor living. Aluminum has become the builder’s railing of choice, says Rick Sells, outside sales consultant and team leader.
“In the past we used other products on our decks, but when we were introduced to Westbury Railings during a screen rail installation, we immediately noticed the difference in the quality of the powder coat,” he says. “Since then, we almost exclusively offer Westbury in all our deck designs and screen rooms.”
Sells emphasizes the importance of considering the needs of installers and sales teams, too.
“Our installers love how stress-free Westbury has made the installation process. From a sales side, I appreciate that they don’t just stick with two or three colors. They offer 12, and Speckled Walnut is my personal favorite.”
The company recently opened a new showroom with a full Westbury railing display, allowing clients to see and feel the product in person. “That’s been a great addition,” said Sells. “We wanted to standardize our outdoor living offerings with only the best products, and that’s why Westbury railing, paired with TimberTech decking, is what we lead with. Our clients value the look, warranty, and reliability. For us, it just makes sense.”
Twin Brothers Construction: Precision and Design
In Minnesota, Twin Brothers Construction, Inc., led by Andrew and Ben Schoonover, has become known for crafting award-winning decks and outdoor living spaces. The third generation of builders in their family, the Schoonovers have built more than 300 decks in just seven years, earning over 250 five-star reviews and multiple industry recognitions.
“At Twin Brothers Construction, we’ve worked with a wide range of railing systems, and Westbury continues to be our top choice for aluminum railings,” they say. “The Tuscany series, in particular, stands out for its strength, clean design, and long-term durability. The quality and precision engineering allow us to deliver consistently excellent results for our clients.”
From the builder’s perspective, installation is another reason Westbury stands out. “The system is incredibly well thought out. Components align cleanly, allowing us to install with accuracy and efficiency. That precision means we can maintain high visual standards with tight, consistent lines that elevate the overall finish of every project.”
Twin Brothers also appreciate the flexibility of Westbury’s expanded product line. “We occasionally use VertiCable when clients want more open views, and Veranda when they want glass-panel elegance,” they explain. “Both provide the same thoughtful design and durability. Our clients frequently comment on the refined look and low-maintenance appeal. It is a product line we are proud to use and one that adds lasting value to the decks we build.”
Since entering the aluminum railing market in 2007, Westbury Aluminum Railing by Digger Specialties Inc. (DSI) has become a standout choice for professional deck builders nationwide. With aluminum rapidly gaining market share over wood, composite, steel, and vinyl railing, Westbury has distinguished itself by combining durability, low maintenance, and timeless design with installer-friendly engineering
Engineered for Performance and Simplicity
The Westbury product line includes eight models and 22 styles, giving contractors solutions that match any architectural style. DSI’s proprietary 10-step AAMA 2604 powder coating process ensures a long-lasting, fade-resistant finish. Builders and homeowners alike benefit from a palette of 12 standard colors (with custom options available), as well as the choice of both horizontal and vertical cable railing systems that appeal to today’s modern outdoor living trends.
Beyond beauty and durability, Westbury systems are designed to make installation seamless. Each system is precision engineered so that components align cleanly, saving crews time and minimizing errors. When installed by a Certified Master Pro, Westbury railings also carry a seven-year labor warranty on top of the lifetime limited warranty on aluminum, delivering peace of mind for both builder and homeowner.

Lawrence G. Boyts, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at DSI, sums up the company’s approach:
“Our objective is to produce the highest quality products in the marketplace that are designed and engineered with the contractor-installer in mind. Professional deck builders have confidence recommending Westbury railing to their clients because of the product’s beauty, low-maintenance features, and long-lasting performance.”
