Why MC Mel Aluminum Is the Best Choice for Lévis

In Lévis, our winters are harsh. Snow, ice, freeze-thaw cycles—they destroy anything that isn't built to last.

Wood? It rots, it splits, and it gets slippery. You have to stain it every 2-3 years. And after 5-10 years, it becomes dangerous.

Cheap steel? It rusts. The welds break. Rust stains run down your patio or driveway.

MC Mel aluminum is designed for our winters. It is hand-welded by Quebec craftsmen, guaranteed for life against rust, and requires no maintenance. Install it and forget about it.

You see it everywhere in Lévis: rotten wooden railings in Saint-Étienne, rusty wrought iron railings in Lauzon, railings that wobble dangerously on patios in Charny. Often, homeowners wait too long to replace them, and someone ends up getting hurt.

We install solid MC Mel systems that comply with building codes and will last at least 30 years without ever needing to be painted or repaired.

What We Install — Ramps and Stairs MC Mel

Patio and deck railings

Welded aluminum railings are installed around your patio or deck. They are anchored directly into the structure with stainless steel bolts, not screwed into wood that will rot.

Standard height: 36 inches or 42 inches according to the Building Code.

Options: vertical bars (36 inches), horizontal bars (for an unobstructed view), tempered glass panels, or custom combinations.

Aluminum outdoor stairs

If your wooden staircase has become weak or dangerous, we will replace it with a complete aluminum staircase. : structure, steps, risers, integrated handrails.

The steps are non-slip with built-in grip—no tape that peels off after a winter.

We can build straight staircases, L-shaped staircases, staircases with landings, or custom staircases tailored to your property.

Access ramps for people with reduced mobility

If you need to install a compliant access ramp for a wheelchair, walker, or to facilitate access for an elderly person, we build it according to the standards of the Quebec Building Code.

Maximum slope: 1:12 (1 inch of rise for every 12 inches of run).

We add landings in the right places, handrails on both sides, and a non-slip surface throughout.

Balcony railing

For balconies on the second or third floor, aluminum railings that comply with the Code are installed: minimum height of 42 inches, maximum spacing between bars of 4 inches (to prevent a child from passing through).

Everything is welded, solid, and firmly anchored to the structure of your balcony.

Interior stair railings

Yes, we also make aluminum interior railings. They're modern, clean, and super durable. Perfect for a finished basement, loft, or contemporary home.

Why MC Mel, Not Hardware Kits

We see too many hardware ramps that are screwed together with plastic or thin aluminum connectors. They shake, they loosen, and they become dangerous after 2-3 years.

MC Mel ramps are different:

Hand-welded Each joint is welded by skilled craftsmen. No screws that come loose, no cheap connectors. It's as solid as concrete.

Marine-grade aluminum : Resistant to corrosion, even with the de-icing salt that is spread everywhere in Lévis during the winter.

Baked powder finish Available in black, white, gray, bronze, or custom colors. The finish lasts 20-30 years without chipping.

Lifetime warranty : MC Mel guarantees its products against rust, corrosion, and manufacturing defects. For life. That's no small thing.

Compliance with the Code All systems are designed to comply with the Quebec Building Code. Heights, spacing, strength—everything is done by the book.

The Problems We Solve in Lévis

Rotten or dangerous wooden railings

That's the number one problem. The wood rots from underneath, often where it touches the concrete or the patio wood. It looks fine from a distance, but when you lean on it, it bends or breaks.

Everything is replaced with welded aluminum. No more rot problems.

Ramps that move or wobble

If your ramp moves when you push it, it is not properly anchored or the fasteners are loose. This is dangerous, especially for children and the elderly.

Our MC Mel ramps are anchored directly to the structure with stainless steel bolts. They don't budge an inch.

Slippery stairs in winter

Wooden or composite steps become extremely slippery as soon as there is ice. You see this everywhere in Lévis after freezing rain.

MC Mel aluminum steps have built-in non-slip grip—no need to add salt or mats. They remain safe even in the middle of winter.

Rust that stains everything

Old wrought iron or galvanized steel railings always end up rusting. Worse still, the rust drips onto your patio and concrete, leaving permanent stains.

MC Mel aluminum never rusts. Ever. Even after 20 years.

Non-compliance with the Code

Many ramps installed by DIY enthusiasts or cheap contractors do not comply with regulations: they are too low, the bars are too far apart, or they are not sturdy enough. If you sell your house, the inspector will notice this and it could delay the sale.

Everything is installed in accordance with the Quebec Building Code. No surprises, no problems when it comes time to resell.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions About Aluminum Ramps

Is aluminum really stronger than wood?

Yes. Welded MC Mel aluminum is much stronger than a screwed-together wooden railing. And unlike wood, it never rots, never bends, and never breaks.

Does it get slippery in winter?

No. The railings have a textured finish that provides good grip, and the steps have built-in anti-slip features. It's much safer than wood or composite materials.

How long does it take to install a ramp?

For a simple patio ramp, it takes one day. For a complete staircase with ramps, it takes one to two days. It depends on the complexity.

Can I choose the color?

Yes. The standard finishes are black, white, gray, and bronze. You can also order custom colors for an additional fee.

What happens if a part breaks in 10 years?

With MC Mel, that hardly ever happens. But if it does, it's covered by the manufacturer's lifetime warranty. We order the part and replace it.

Are you removing the old ramp?

Yes, it's included in the price. We'll remove the old ramp, dispose of the materials, and install the new one.
