"After purchasing an Angie's List Deal, I received the measuring kit in the mail promptly. The template and instructions provided to draw my split table top and each of the leaves were easy to use and understand. I mailed the completed materials and received the table pads very quickly. The table splits in the middle to allow insertion of up to 3 additional leaves. The table also has 2 drop leaves. That's 7 pads. All fit perfectly. I have used them on the table for family parties (not every day) and they're durable and built to last. I keep them in the box they arrived in to protect them when not in use. These are a worthwhile investment."

"They are currently finishing paint/staining our home, but I decided to go ahead and write my review since I received a request for information about their decking services.  We are extremely happy with everything that's been done. We had the outside of our rough-sawn cedar redone with solid color stain, and the wood screen porch/deck sealed.  They sprayed most of the rough-sawn cedar siding, which covered so much better than we'd done with rolling previously, and they were extremely careful about overspray.  They even painted our gutter to match, but always checked anything  first to make sure it was what we wanted.  I figured the screen porch would have to be cleared of furniture, etc. to clean the outside, but they told me I didn't need to.  I wondered if it they'd still get the black mildew off.  It looked even better than I hoped, the wood looked nearly brand new!  They know how to pressure wash! (I've tried it myself before, and wound up with 'fuzzy' wood.) They're currently working on sealing the wood surfaces such as screened porch, deck and railing.  As happy as we are with everything done so far, we can't wait to see the 'finished product'!  I will update when all is done, but we already know we will definitely be calling R&R for our next project!

"For 23 years, our three boys grew up sharing a bathroom. After all this time, the bathroom desperately needed renovation. JJ Brewer & Associates transformed a sow's ear into a silk purse. Our project included replacing the bathtub area with a full walk-in tiled shower, retiling the floor, removing a wall and replacing much of the existing wall, repainting, and replacing the cabinets and fixtures. In all, the project took about 2 months. They did a fantastic job. I would definitely hire them again for my next project. They were courteous and professional. We discussed everything, and they provided me with options that I had not thought of. If you are looking for a company for your next renovation project, I can highly recommend JJ Brewer & Associates."

"LeBron did an incredible job framing / relocating / installing our new kitchen entry door. LeBron was more than prepared for all the “discoveries” that come with renovating an old home. We’re impressed with the finish product and would highly recommend Castleberry Construction for carpentry and renovation projects large or small."

"I loved having Brett and Tact Contracting do this project for me! They were such a huge help and really cared about what they did. The deck still looks good as new a year later. Quality work from quality people."

"Everything went great. Billy was available for any questions and clarifications about the work that needed to be done and flexible to help accommodate any changes we needed to make along the way. The entire experience was so good that after a year when we wanted to replace the front door and fix a few other things that needed to be dealt with, Billy helped us with finding the perfect door and making sure all the other items on our list were taken care of. Anytime we had questions or needed to make some minor adjustments to the work list, Billy was always available and extremely helpful making sure everything got done just how we wanted it. We still have a few things we want to do to the house in the next few years and I will be contacting Billy and A-1 as soon as we’re ready for those. I’d happily recommend them to anyone I know who’s planning work on their property."

"We could not be happier with our decision to hire Hobbs Remodeling to replace the tile floor in our master bathroom. They are extremely quick and responsive with communication, and the job was completely done exactly one week from the day that I first contacted them. They arrived on time or early each day, worked diligently all day, and left us with a beautiful, expertly-done tile floor and tiled shower floor. Early in the project, they discovered that water had leaked over time and rotted a portion of our subfloor. There was a gaping hole under the tile that we originally had. They also discovered that the layer of backboard (?) that goes above the subfloor and under the tile had been improperly installed the first time, which is what contributed to our original tile floor cracking and needing to be repaired. They replaced the rotten subfloor and correctly installed new backboard before laying the tile. It is so wonderful to have peace of mind knowing that we have a solid, sturdy, safe floor to walk on. In summary, the finished product is absolutely beautiful, these guys are friendly and professional, the work only took 2 1/2 days, and my dog loved them! We are already planning some home projects for early next year and they are the ones we will be calling!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Chattanooga, 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.
