"Devin and his new partners did an outstanding job remodeling a very challenging bathroom. He came up with ideas on how to increase the size and better the layout of it. He then implemented them flawlessly. An additional and very important quality of his service was that he tried very hard to reuse any building material that he could. This not only helped save me money but helped the environment. I have already requested that he put me on his calendar for more projects!"

"They did an excellent job on the fence, and I love it. However, as I said above, I did decide to have it lowered. Although Doug is in high demand due to his excellent work and service, he came back over a few days after I called him to come back. He lowered the fence and did not charge me for lowering it. He said he just wanted me to be happy with my fence! Well I am! I highly recommend Doug and his company, Fenceworks. He is highly ethical and professional, and his work is excellent and reasonably priced.
Thank you, Doug!"

"Our experience with Kitchen and Bath World was excellent; we are completely satisfied. We had two full bathrooms completely re-done as well as new kitchen counter tops and laminate flooring installed. Emily LaRose, the designer, is the consummate professional designer. She has a firm grasp of design concepts and gave us functional and beautiful designs. She is a skillful communicator, equally strong at explaining choices and listening to and addressing our concerns or preferences. Emily kept the projects on track and made herself available for our questions. Our initial choice for laminate flooring for the kitchen was discontinued by the manufacturer. Emily immediately contacted us, and we met. She presented other recommended choices that would work with our counter top choice and existing cabinetry. We ended up with beautiful flooring and an on-schedule installation. Emily visited our home throughout the projects and always answered our phone calls and emails promptly. She was extremely helpful and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Further, all the other Kitchen and Bath World staff we met were very helpful, and we felt completely comfortable having them in our home. Greg, the lead installer, has an outstanding work ethic and outstanding construction / remodeling skills. Greg did meticulous work, and our home was always left in pristine condition at the end of the day. We will be recommending Kitchen and Bath World to our family and friends!"

"It went amazingly well. Celina and Aaron were great workers, and great communicators as well. They gave a more than fair estimate for the work and stuck to it. Everything they promised, they delivered. They were always on time and I felt very confident that they were ultra-reliable. If it was too cold or raining, they showed up to scrape to keep the job going. I had had several offers for this job, but I cannot express how glad I am I chose this team. They scraped, primed, and put on two coats of the paint I chose (Benjamin Moore), and the price of the paint was included in the given estimate. The house looks beautiful! HIRE THESE GUYS!"

"I'd had a evaluation and estimate from Exterior Solutions and after then not having received a call back or return email (the inspector had also pulled a loose single from my roof leaving it exposed) I went back to Angie's List. T&T came up, noting it had a good rating, I called. Dave and a colleague arrived, evaluated the roof and offered to repair it free of charge. Still blown away by this. A member of their crew arrived yesterday and did this; apparently they've ended up correcting other work done by Exterior Solutions and they only wanted the good will rating for the work. Incredibly nice and very professional."

"They do excellent work and were accommodating on pricing.  They had a whole team here, got everything done on time, and cleaned up very well.  I found them to be very consumer-oriented and personable.  I would use them again."

"Boone's came out and did a great job. They were communicative about scheduling and timing, materials needed, etc.
The deal purchased did not include railings, which was made clear upon purchase and as soon as they arrived to power wash the deck. My deck was also over the size limit. This cost me $400 on top of the $199 for the deal I purchased.
They powerwashed the deck very very well, and then stained it equally as well. It looks great.

"It did not get off the ground. Todd came and said he was going to draw designs and get them back to us in reasonable time. I had to go away for a week and I called him when I got back he said he would see us with designs the following week. I guess he got busy because he did not show. I called again and he was nice and polite and he was supposed to call me back and let me know when he was coming. I called another time and left message - no response. My husband and I decided to get another guy to do the work."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Amsterdam, NY

Pressure-treated lumber is the most inexpensive deck railing material. It's a cost-effective option that offers a good balance of durability and affordability for budget-conscious homeowners. Pressure-treated wood meets essential safety standards while keeping upfront costs low. In contrast, vinyl, polyurethane, and composite materials tend to be more expensive but offer additional aesthetic and maintenance benefits.

To calculate how much deck railing you need, measure the length of all the edges of your deck where railings are required (excluding any openings or areas bordered by the house). Since precise measurements are crucial, it's a good idea to hire a professional. Contractors have the expertise to accurately measure and install your deck railings.

In most cases, safety standards require railings on steps with more than four risers, steps wider than 44 inches, and decks over 30 inches high, measured from the next level down.

Railings should also be between 34 and 38 inches tall. Regulations can vary based on your location, so it's important to check your local building codes or consult a local contractor. There are also rules about the size of the gaps between pickets and between the bottom of the railing and the deck.

Before installing a railing on your front porch, you'll need to check local permitting requirements. Local building authorities may have specific codes that require a permit—or, in some cases, no permit at all. Reviewing your city's guidelines and consulting a qualified professional will help ensure your project meets all legal and safety standards, preventing any unexpected issues during inspections.

Deciding whether to repair or replace your deck railings depends on the extent of the damage and whether you can match new materials to the old ones. If you have minor issues, repair might be an option. However, when it's challenging to match existing materials, replacing the railings can give your deck a fresh start and reset its lifespan. A decking expert can assess your railings and recommend the best course of action to improve safety and maintain a cohesive look.
