# Request a Signature Cable Quote

Request a cable railing quote once you know the system and main options. Clear measurements, photos, and plans speed up pricing and layout.

{% hint style="info" %}
This step covers **Signature cable railing**. Express uses a smaller set of pre-configured options, so some choices shown here do not apply to Express.

If you choose Express, go to [Customize Your Express Cable Railing](/guides/planning/how-can-i-customize-my-cable-railing/choose-your-cable-system/customize-your-express-cable-railing.md) to review the standard option set. If you choose Signature, continue through the full customization process.

### Assess your site

Spend a few minutes collecting the basics:

* Length of each level run
* Length, number of steps, and angle of each stair run
* Mounting surface, such as wood, concrete, steel, or fascia
* Grade and terrain, such as elevation changes, slopes, or curb details
  {% endstep %}

### Gather documentation
