"The quality of work is excellent.  Unfortunately, their boss directed his crew to ignore the obvious tilt of this old house, and we had to insist that the top of the closet doors be parallel to the ceiling!  He also got surly when my husband and I insisted that we both see the end result before paying him.  I hope this guy reverts to the personality we saw a couple of years ago and leaves the current one behind.

"We received the pads, they are exactly as we ordered, seem to be excellent quality. We would certainly use this company again. The only thing that could be improved is acknowledgement of our order (which we mailed in--almost has to be done this way since one sends a graphic of the table shape with the order). We thought they would probably email us when they received the order and/or let us know about when to expect it to be filled. What did happen was that after a while, we called, and got that confirmation and estimated time over the phone."

"Very professionally handled. The quality of CRG's workers was excellent. They did all electrical and plumbing as well as installation of kitchen and baths. The work site was clean and neat at all times -- clean up at the end of every work day was exceptional. Neither Mr. Garcia nor his workers ever balked at extra request and/or changes made as we went along with the renovation. Mr. Garcia worked beautifully with our kitchen designer and followed up with any issues as needed. Communication with us throughout the process was excellent. We would highly recommend him to anyone and happy to provide references"

"George came out to our home at the scheduled time. The estimate we received was fair and within our budget. On the day of his guys arrived 30 min prior to the start time and were very professional. They moved all our furniture and made sure everything was covered and protected before they started the work. His crew was very professional and clean. George was on site and always available for any questions."

"They showed up towards the end of the time window.  They were quick and did everything I needed them to.  They gave me a couple of recommendations for work that could be done to perfect my electrical system with a quoted price but they did not pressure me to have it done.

"R&W did an excellent job painting 5 rooms and repairing minor wall damage. The workers were very professional, on time and responsive to requests. Renso and his father came several times to check on the progress and quality of the work. I would hire them again."

"Found the piece in a curio type used furniture store in College Park, MD (Peg Leg). It was painted pink. Got it for a great price but it needed restoration. Wilson's quote was along the line of other furniture we had restored over the years. The piece came back looking like new. Apparently under the pink there was another coat of white and it took extra time to strip all the layers. You have to be patient with the process because his time estimate might be off if he hits a snag like he did with mine. In the end we have a beautifully restored antique piece of furniture that looks like it just came off the showroom floor. See before (pink) and after photos."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Avenue, MD

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.
