How TSARSI Helped Superior Decks & Railings Scale Smart and Stay Lean

Superior Image For Promo

Since 2019, Superior Decks & Railings has set the standard for prefabricated aluminum balconies, railings, and structural outdoor spaces.

Leading the way on how custom aluminum products are marketed, manufactured, and installed for multi-family housing projects across the U.S., their name has become synonymous with durability, safety, and installations that are as fast as they are reliable.

But as demand surged and their internal team hit capacity, Superior faced a challenge: how to scale without sacrificing the quality and innovation that built their brand.

That’s when they teamed up with TSARSI.

Superior's Obstacles to Growth in a Fast-Moving Market

Staff Overload

With fluctuating project demands and tight profit margins, controlling labor costs became crucial.

Project Complexity

Fast-paced, multi-trade projects made coordination and accuracy harder for Superior.

Labor Costs

Hiring domestic estimators and drafters was costly and time-consuming.

A Custom-Built Solution for a Growing Industry Leader

When Superior Decks & Railings needed to scale, they weren’t just looking for help — they were looking for the right help.

Superior partnered with TSARSI to build a lean, high-performing estimating and drafting team that integrated seamlessly with their internal staff, one that was tailored specifically for their unique workflows, product complexity, and fast-paced sales environment.

With TSARSI at their side, the Superior team was able to break through their estimating bottleneck and meet the demand that came their way. The results were extraordinary.

Results That Speak for Themselves

Partnering with TSARSI gave Superior Decks & Railings more than just extra hands. It gave them the flexibility, speed, and precision they needed to grow sustainably.

With TSARSI’s support, Superior:

  • Cut labor costs by 50% by replacing expensive local hires with skilled, full-time remote team members

  • Doubled their takeoff volume — from 5–10 per week to 15–25

  • Reduced turnaround times by up to 2x, keeping bids moving and sales teams selling

  • Saw substantial gains in revenue as they took on more work without sacrificing quality or burning out staff

These results gave Superior the confidence to pursue more projects, knowing their estimating and drafting team could keep up.

How TSARSI Helped Superior Live Up to Its Name

Accuracy That Drives Confidence

With every takeoff and shop drawing, TSARSI didn't just increase Superior's bid volume, we also increased their precision. Their team came to rely on consistent, high-quality outputs — minimizing revisions, field adjustments, and delays during install.

Seamless Integration with People, Process, and Platforms

As always, we built our process around Superior’s existing workflows — not the other way around. Our team collaborated closely to document processes, align expectations, and plug directly into Superior’s preferred software stack, including SketchUp, AutoCAD, and custom Excel-based templates.

Scalable Support for Seasonal Demand

As project volume fluctuated, TSARSI allowed Superior to scale their estimating and drafting capacity up or down — without the stress of hiring, layoffs, or other burdens to their human resources team.

24-Hour Workflows for Maximum Efficiency

TSARSI’s flexible scheduling ensured smooth coordination with Superior’s team during the workday, allowing US-based team members to hand their tasks off to TSARSI when signing off for the day. That convenience made it easier to keep momentum and avoid bottlenecks during busy periods.
