"I highly recommend Loft Remodeling for any home renovation or improvement needs. As first-time homeowners, we had a lot of questions about maintaining and upgrading our space, and Mike was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Not only did he fix issues quickly and efficiently, but he also took the time to explain how we could tackle similar projects ourselves in the future. Mike helped us with a wide range of tasks—from painting a room and installing a new microwave (including venting it properly), to replacing sink piping and more. He was approachable, communicated clearly every step of the way, and brought a high level of skill to each project. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and look forward to working with him again."

"We are so glad we went with Kirch. We narrowed it down to Kirch and one other builder we liked, but went with Kirch because they could meet our timeline (which the other vendor said they would not be able to meet and didn’t think anyone could). Well, they didn’t just meet our timeline, they beat it by 2 weeks. We had a run of good weather and they got after it. No let up once they started. Very organized. Start early and work hard all day. Communicative throughout entire process. Jaclyn responds to emails immediately. John talks you through everything and follows through on what he says. And the results are fantastic! We love our new deck. Exactly what we wanted and expected. We practically live on our deck May through September, and with this new deck it’s an even better place to hangout and relax with family and friends. So happy with it. Worth every penny. Thank you Kirch!"

"I plan to have Superior Improvements handle all future door and window problems.   Ryan Loosen is the owner and also installed the my new patio door.   Went above and beyond on installation and making sure everything was done correctly.   Ryan really knows his stuff.  He is meticulous, a perfectionist and very professional.

"I was cleaning out my gutters when I noticed that some were bent which was leading to leaves and anything else getting stuck in them. Also along the back of my house there was a hole causing water to leak out. I made the call on Friday to Watry Homes and as of yesterday they are fixed. It took maybe two hours or so to get the hole covered and to bend the gutter back into shape. I also got a quote for my siding while they were they so that when I am ready I can get both things replaced. I can not say enough about Scott who came out and did a great job of letting me know what was needed and  what I would be looking at in terms of fixing now vs replacing. A lot of times a company will try to just say you need everything new when that may not be the case. Which makes me feel good to now yet again I made a great choice."

"Ryan was really great at what he accomplished. The carpentry of new stairs in an old house involves a lot of problem solving and puzzle work. I'm really pleased with how they turned out. Ryan is very friendly, professional and made sure the job was done well and cleaned up when he left each day. He was good at troubleshooting problems that came up and we worked around issues that had to be redesigned so the job could be completed within both of our timeframes."

"During the construction of the sun porch stairs, I brought to Michael's attention the unstable flooring inside the unheated sun porch, which lacked a proper foundation. In one corner, there was a large bouncy area. He removed the carpet and discovered that the joists had detached from the support beams. Michael reattached the joists, installed a new subfloor, and replaced the carpet, making it look and feel new and strong. This repair, which was not part of the original estimate, cost an additional $885. He performed the repair ingeniously from the inside of the house, without removing any siding. Additionally, Michael built the stairs and railings out of cedar and stained them. Although the same stain color was used, the two different types of wood resulted in a bright orange color that did not match our fence and backyard deck. I nervously contacted him about the discrepancy, and he fixed it. He explained that a darker stain could not simply be applied over the penetrating oil stain, so he had to sand it all off. He completed this extra work at no additional cost, despite our offers to pay him and his crew for their efforts. He insisted it was his responsibility to correct the mistake. He was very professional . He was a very good worker . Good worker and he was very honest and I would hire him again. I`m willing to pay for quality work, and he is definitely high quality work. He was always on time. He was always in good communication with us."

"The project went well. Chris and his Son were polite and did a good job. Under the cold conditions they were able to provide a high quality product. The work they did in my garage looks amazing. They were also able to touch up my existing drywall and re-texture and paint to make the whole garage seamless. There were a few minor cracks to the seams that showed up. Chris is going to wait until the weather warms up to come back and take care of them. I'm confident this will be resolved and he was more than willing to address and take care of it. I'll post an update once the work is done. I also had them paint some exposed wood around my garage door. They did a very nice job and I'm thrilled with the work."

"They were good. The job ended up really nice. It looks really professional. We were able to master stain that was with the house. It was very well done. The workers were nice guys. That was a place that I could say I would definitely recommend. I had a couple of windows installed and that was a separate charge. The dormer was $1200 including the window. I had two windows installed. They had to work with the inside trim and the exterior trim where it's next to the brick. It was $700 for that. I had the windows provided myself. I paid for those separately. It wasn't included in the cost. It was just for the labor and parts like the wood. I can't really ask for anything. I trust that he was overseeing things properly and that his workers were qualified along with the carpentry skills that they had. That's why I liked them. It's because I have seen the quality. It was apparent. I wanted to get the same level because he set such a high standard with that. I think it was a little extra with the cost for him but I had to pay for what I get. I would use him in the future."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Big Bend, WI

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.
