"We contacted TJL Construction initially for multiple tree removal. They came within a couple of days to give us an estimate. Then I realized they also did decks and had them look at ours. We needed 2 new complete set of stairs. They worked up an estimate while they were there for both projects. They came to do the work the following week. Mat and his crew were hard working, thorough and so nice to work with. Cleaned up great and held to the original estimate. Already talking about other projects."

"I hired Mike from a recommendation and I am very glad I did. I had to have a deck replaced at the water's edge which was literally falling into the lake. I was unsure how to proceed and relied on Mike to design it. After careful thought he came up with a solution and fully explained it to me, staying within my tight budget. When he started he told me how long it would take and what he would be doing each day. I am so happy with the finished deck and it exceeded my expectations. I would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Brandon, VT

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.
