"Jonathan is Very easy to work with and has Excellent knowledge of the work he does. He’s always on time and gets the job done in a timely manner. He has excellent ethics. For example, when he built my stairs for my back porch, I told him they were only going to be temporary, but he explained to me, no matter if it’s temporary or permanent, safety is the main Priority. He also built them to my specifications with only a 5 inch rise instead of the standard 7 inch rise, which makes it much easier for me to be able to get up and down my steps. He and his team also did my vaulted ceilings, all my window frames, baseboards and anywhere else that needed trim work, etc. excellent excellent work."

"I hired Best Austin to remove a wall as well as relocate appliance outlets. Once they started doing the work, the subcontractors did a great job. Communication was good. Occasionally I had to speak with the project manager or subcontractor to discuss with him change orders and other details. The contract took a bit longer than we expected but we enjoy the new layout of our new home."

"Rob knew what kind of tool would stop wooden stair steps from squeaking under stair carpet. He used the tool successfully to stop the squeaks on our four squeaking stair steps. He then used the tool on all of the other non-squeaking carpeted stair steps, so that they were less likely to start squeaking in the future. No damage to any of the carpet and no need to take any of the carpet off of the stairs. Great job!"

"If i could give more than 5 stars I certainly would! Miguel & crew painted the entire exterior of my house, while repairing/replacing gutters, trim, siding, etc. I feel like I live in a castle now because it was so well done! Very professional & accommodating! (Also very quiet & clean up daily which is huge!) You may have to wait a bit to get started because he is extremely busy but I can promise, he is DEFINITELY worth waiting for!!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Austin, TX

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.
