"Although this company was new to Home Advisor I was very pleased with the responsiveness of the owner Michael Sheppard and hired him immediately upon meeting him. The project was to expand our deck to wrap around the side of the house and around a hot tub. He built a platform for the hot tub and arranged for an electrician to wire it up so that it was ready for immediate use. As we do not live at the house fulltime, we were kept informed with pictures and messages and the end result exceeded all our expectations. In a time where it is so difficult to get anybody to respond to inquiries, let alone actually do any work, we could not be happier with our choice to use this company. We have several more projects for the house and his company seems to do it all. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

"Pete and Mike did an incredible job!!! We were looking for some repairs for our deck but also had a 20 year old split rail fence that was in bad condition. Pete said he could do both repairs and gave us a VERY reasonable estimate for the job. He basically had to take down the entire split rail fence and start over, because it was in such bad shape. We are absolutely blown away by how amazing the fence looks now!!! In the process of rebuilding the fence they had to remove part of a dead tree, and they cut it up for firewood in the process. He also put up wire around the inside of the split rail fence to keep our pups inside the yard. It was an incredible task, and they did such an amazing, very professional job!!! The fence looks so much better than the original one and really gives amazing curb appeal to our home!!! The deck repairs are also awesome!!! They removed the old lattice around the bottom, and replaced it with solid wood and two access doors. We had problems with the pups trying to get under the deck, and this was an excellent solution rather than just replacing the broken lattice. We would VERY HIGHLY recommend Pete and Mike to do ANY task that you have. They are both so personable, friendly, professional, very reliable and dependable!!! You can't go wrong hiring them to do any job, and you know it will be done exceptionally well and top quality!!! Any future carpentry jobs we have in the future, we will most definitely hire them again!!!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Blowing Rock, NC

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.
