"Very well. They are craftsmen. Put up plastic barriers to keep down the dust in the rest of the house. They did a wonderful job. Our new bath looks beautiful. His designer helped me turn my ideas into real world structures. The materials they used and the workmanship of their installation is first class. They are a little more expensive than some but they can do all the things you want them to and do them correctly. We are very pleased with their work.

"They were very responsive. Most contractors said it would be up to 4 to 6 weeks to even give me an estimate or did not want the job primarily because of the stucco work. Benchmark looked at the job and had estimates to me within a few days. They had the work done in a matter of weeks. They provided some good ideas for doing the project, e.g., replacing the tile with a tub surround which would mean less matainence for a rental. They also replaced a large trim piece along the side of the house that had been damaged by termites at no extra charge. They matched the stucco pillars superbly. The work was of very good quality and they were very responsive, including doing a walk through when the work was done. I have already recommended them to other people."

"I have hired Spencer Construction for a couple different home projects. He replaced our garage door and opener, he laid new flooring in our basement and he did work on our back patio. He was very quick and efficient every time. He was here when he said he would be and was always done ahead of schedule which was nice. I have been exceptionally happy with Spencer Constructions work quality and ethic. I highly recommend this company for all your home repairs and remodels."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Auburn, KS

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.
