"The work done was a huge improvement to the overall look of our living room and staircase. We ran into a small problem with the electrician they supplied, but they worked with us to resolve the issue to our satisfaction. Very pleased overall!"

"Paul has done 3 jobs for me in 2023 : loft in NYC, Loft in Ct and cabinetry in Ct. I was pleased with his work. He works with you to creatively solve design problems. I thought highly enough of Paul to tear down work that had been done by another company and have him design and build a better solution...both functionally and aesthetically. My advice is that you hire an owner/craftsman like Paul, instead of working with a salesman for a carpentry company."

"Justin did a great job at our home. The demolition work was a big job followed by preparing the new floor, installing and grouting new tile and adjusting several doorways. Justin was always on time and always prepared for the day's work. He was very clear what work would be completed each day and always kept our interests in mind to make sure we were as comfortable as possible living in our home while he was working. We now have a reliable contractor we can reach out to anytime we need work completed."

"Excellent, no problems. My car was new the first year I used the service and there has never been any damage during the transports. The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

"We hired CertaPro Painters to paint the ceilings and walls in our Foyer, living room, dining room kitchen and hallway. They did an excellent job! The crew was on time every day. They were very hard workers, courteous and polite. They left the rooms clean, sweeping up after themselves. The price was reasonable. We would definitely hire them again. I will ask for Henry and his Team."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Andover, CT

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.
