"This is my second A review of Rife Remodeling. They also replaced our roof in 2016. There is no better review than a repeat customer! I immediately contacted John when we decided we wanted to fence the yard. He was quick with the estimate, but I had not expected it to be completed until warmer weather. But his crew was here in just a few days to get started. Super nice bunch who do fantastic work and clean up after themselves. Very very pleased with the fence, the price, and the crew. The dogs are loving the yard too! I will be seeing them for the next project!!"

"We removed carpet from bedroom and the 70+ year old boards underneath were cupped. Randall was able to sand the floor smooth. Due to the cold weather, we had an issue with dust settling in the polyurethane before it was dry. Randall resanded/recoated. Now the floors look like new."

"I do not hesitate to recommend Greg Ferguson for remodeling projects. The first thing I like about Greg is that he answers all phone calls or texts and shows up when he says he will. He was willing to change plans and try new techniques from what had been planned when problems came to light resulting from previous original building faults. Because it was such a large project in which the cost of many of the items could not be estimated in advance, his cost was for labor only. The project was finished within the time expected. During this project Greg was cognizant of costs, making suggestions that resulted in lower costs. His workers were always on time and I had no concern about them being in my house in terms of security. All were most courteous during this project and were a pleasure to work with. When other contractors whom I had contracted with before he agreed to do the work showed up to install countertops, sand floors, etc., Greg and his workers worked around their schedules and he was very supportive in making sure that their participation in our project was accommodated. In short, Greg is easy to work with and has a very high standard of craftsmanship. We have already asked Greg put us on his schedule to do some work on the outside of house!"

"Maria and her crew are absolute professionals, and if you want quality then this is the company to go with. In addition to painting the entire main floor and upstairs of my 5500 sq ft home, they completely fixed all of the crown molding that I thought would have to be replaced. They also repaired drywall in a couple of ceilings, which makes my house literally look brand new. It was quite a task - my house was in bad shape, but they knew exactly what they were doing."

"I called and he said he could fit us in that day. I gave them our address and phone#. They found the house with no problem and arrived right on time. They were very neat and professional and cleaned up completely. The door I had purchased needed to be modified as the ladder was a little too long to fold out properly. They cut the bottom section and reattached it so it would fold out properly. They did a great job and you could not tell it had been modified. I am very pleased with the way the job was done.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Bristol, TN

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.
