"Our deck was old and in bad shape. It needed a major update. Andrew and his crew did a great job. They were committed from the start to making it special. Even with weather, supply chain and other issues they maintained and created an amazing deck for our family to enjoy. Any changes made during the project were discussed in detail and not performed until agreed upon. Communicating with Andrew was easy. From the quotation process through the installation, I felt we were always on the same page. Andrew was hands on and always answered or returned my calls immediately."

"I recently hired Francisco from JAVS Construction LLC to install baseboards in my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Not only did he do an excellent job with the baseboards, but he also handled some drywall installation for me with the same level of precision and professionalism. From start to finish, Francisco was great to work with—responsive, reliable, and skilled. His attention to detail is evident in his work, and he takes the time to ensure everything looks perfect. On top of that, he’s friendly, easy to communicate with, and keeps the work area clean. I’m already planning to work with him on future projects, and I highly recommend Francisco and JAVS Construction LLC to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and great service!"

The installation team, John H. and Uriel were incredibly professional, experienced and thorough. They explained how to care for the windows and slider and were very patient with us. They prepped all surrounding areas and even cleaned up after the job, which is pretty unheard of. If we had more windows to install, I would call to request them.

"We had Closet Factory in Centennial, Colorado, design and install and expanded pantry and mud room on one side of our laundry room. Leslie Klinck, our designer, did an amazing job! Her expertise and skills were obvious at every step in the design process. The two installers, Agustin Montoya and Ricardo Rodriguez, are highly seasoned professionals who bent over backwards to make a few needed adjustments in the midst of the installation. Everyone at Closet Factory was a pleasure to work with. Closet Factory also did three walk-in closets for us when we moved in last year. Again, superb design work and flawless installations. My wife and I give Closet Factory the highest possible rating and recommendation. They earned them!"

A standard outdoor handrail installation takes an average of eight hours for a professional to complete a five to 10-foot section. This includes time for proper measurement, securing mounting hardware, and ensuring the railing is level and stable.
More complex installations involving multiple sections or challenging mounting surfaces may require additional time. Weather conditions can also affect the timeline, particularly for installations requiring concrete work or certain adhesives that need specific temperatures to cure properly.
Aluminum offers the best combination of weather resistance and value for outdoor handrails. Unlike wood, it won't rot, warp, or require regular sealing, and unlike steel or iron, it naturally resists rust without special coatings. Vinyl and composite materials also perform well in various weather conditions, but may not provide the same structural strength as metal options.
For coastal areas with salt exposure or regions with extreme temperature fluctuations, powder-coated aluminum provides excellent durability with minimal maintenance requirements.
Most localities require building permits for outdoor handrail installations, especially for front entrances or elevated decks. Permit costs range from $20 to $30, though requirements vary significantly by location. Building codes specify requirements for handrail height (36 to 42 inches), spacing between balusters (less than four inches), and load-bearing capacity.
Checking with your local building department before beginning installation helps ensure your project will meet all safety requirements and avoid potential fines or required modifications later.
Building codes often require handrails for any elevated surface that rises more than 30 inches above ground level. Additionally, many local regulations mandate railings for staircases with multiple steps, particularly in areas accessible to the public.
Even if your steps don't meet the minimum height requirement for mandatory railings, adding handrails significantly improves safety for all users, especially during inclement weather or at night. A local building inspector or contractor can evaluate your specific situation and advise on both code requirements and safety recommendations.
