After seeing the skill level we added more work we wanted to complete like tree removal, new security light, porch ceiling fan etc…we love our new oasis. Would recommend for any job big or small! "

Wood stairs and railings installations and replacements FAQs

On average, replacing a deck railing costs about $925. This includes all the materials and labor needed to install a new porch or deck railing system with a durable finish. For instance, adding a new handrail on your front steps costs around $80 per linear foot. This price ensures your new railing is safe, looks great, and meets building codes.

Balusters and spindles offer structural support to the railing and run from the footing to the handrail. While their names are often used interchangeably, these support posts differ in their footing design. Balusters rest on a step, floor, or deck, while spindles have a footing rail attached to the bottom of the posts.

Choosing the right contractor for stair railing replacement is determined by the project’s complexity. A general contractor provides professional expertise and precision for a design that involves custom curves or intricate details. For straightforward installations, a qualified handyman delivers efficient service. Hiring skilled professionals guarantees that the installation meets all safety and building code requirements while ensuring lasting quality.

If it's still structurally sound, you can update your existing stair railing without removing it. By repairing any damages and then painting or refinishing it, you can give your staircase a fresh new look. This approach saves time and money while ensuring your railing meets all safety and building code requirements.

Reusing your existing stair spindles is a practical option when they’re in good condition. Notifying your contractor in advance is essential to ensure the spindles are preserved during removal. After removal, refinishing the spindles with a fresh coat of paint or stain will match them with your new railing design while maintaining sustainability and a cohesive aesthetic.

Stair railing balusters are mandated to maintain a spacing of no more than four inches apart. This precise measurement prevents a four-inch sphere from passing through and ensures the railing system is secure. Maintaining this gap is essential for structural integrity and safety. Be sure to verify that your installation meets these requirements as specified by local building codes.
