"From beginning to almost end it was enjoyable and not stressful at all. They were good guys and very funny. I just didn't like the end product cause it wasn't perfect. Also, my house had tons of dust all over it. It wouldv'e been great if they threw down the overlays over the couch and tvs. Huge mess to clean up, took a good two days.

"Bud worked with us to remodel our house and convert the garage to an Airbnb. I could not believe the amount of knowledge and skill Bud has! He can literally build an entire house from scratch by himself so you can be confident he can handle any project you have. His work is great and he moves through projects extremely quickly. I would recommend him for any project you have. We miss you Bud! Come back to California!!"

"He was awesome. I was having problems with my AC on a Sunday on what seems like the hottest day ever and was worried I wouldn't find anyone to fix it. But the service was quick and the price was even better, especially with it being a Sunday. I will definitely be referring him to everyone I know!!!!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Bossier City, LA

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.
