"Marcin OF Martin Hardwood Flooring did a fantastic job! The floor looks 100% better then when they were first installed. There were spaces between boards, chips where the finish was gone and lots of dents. the wood came with a very high polish which showed the imperfections and Marcin made the wood look fabulous. He finished the work in two days and we decided to let the finish cure an extra night so on the third day his crew came to lift the stove, rerigerator and table back into the kitchen. His price was the best out of four and if you want someone that does a really great job, he is the person to hire. Doorways, cabinets, and counters were all covered with plastic! I could not have asked for more of anything! Padding rugs were even put down for the temporary placement of my stove and refrigerator in my living room."

"Great from start to finish. I contacted them via email and they asked me to send pictures of the stairs that we wanted completed. He sent me a quote which was extremely fair. They scheduled the work for several weeks out and were able to deliver on that timeline. The guy that did the work was very skilled, but also very clean and neat. He went to great lengths to ensure that each day the work area was cleaned up and vacuumed of most dust. The stairs came out beautiful and we're very happy."

"From the initial and follow up meetings, through the job completion, Mr. Nyberg was professional, punctual and completely up front about all costs. I was given plenty of time to make decisions and information on price options for various grades of shingles. I had a lot of questions and he took the time to answer and explain them all. He was very flexible to my work schedule. Luck gave us good weather so job completion was extremely fast. Home was done first then garage. Each member of the crew was polite and efficient. Each night ground areas were cleaned and any exposed roof was secured safely in case of rain. His crew arrived exactly as scheduled, on time and protective of my yard. I live on a corner lot so there was a large area to cover. The day after completion I mowed grass and went over entire yard. I did not find enough tiny pieces to even fill my front pants pocket and only 1 nail. Wood replacement was needed in several areas due to mild rot and prior raccoon damage. I watched and all areas of deck board replacement were neatly done. I received numerous estimates and Mr Nyberg stood out above the rest. His estimate was neither the most or least expensive. In comparison to work quality and final choice of supplies, the amount paid was extremely fair and in my opinion the best. I would definitely recommend this company and use them again for any of the services they provide."

"Once again Paul did a great job. His estimates were very fair and the finished rooms look like they were always there. They removed our entryway closet to add that space to our dining room, closed off that wall, tiled our entryway, placed new trim & baseboards, stained our front door and repainted the space. In our dining room, they reframed a wall, placed insulation under the floors & wall, installed sconces, installed new trim, baseboards, and chair rail, added flooring to the new space of the room, drywalled, and painted the room. They completed the job in about a week and cleaned up after themselves before they left for the day. Paul and his crew are very professional and flexible with your schedule, which is always appreciated."

"We are getting all the windows and doors from our 1880 house stripped.   Each has MANY years old paint on them.   They have done a good job of removing the old paint from these.  

Normally these are completed in a week.   

Call before you go there as they are not always open during their stated hours.

They state that they are willing to pick up or do on site too, but we have always brought everything there.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Chicago Heights, IL

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.
