"F.A.S.T. Property Services did a complete master bath remodeling project for us. At our first interview, Matthew Smith fully explained everything to us using terms we could easily understand. We asked Matthew many questions which he patiently and pleasantly answered. He even gave us helpful suggestions as to how the project could be improved-things we never even considered. This gave us confidence that Matthew was an experienced contractor who had done many projects like ours enough times to foresee and prevent the usual problems that customers can run into. As promised, he got back to us promptly with a quote. He was willing to work with us as to a starting date that was mutually agreeable. He told us up front what his payment terms were which we found to be reasonable. Matthew and employee Stephen started the project on time. Ever respectful for our home, they set up tarps every A.M. and kept dust to a minimum. They cleaned up every day, removing the tarps before they left. During the project, they were open to any questions we had, and they patiently answered all our questions to our satisfaction. As Matthew Smith said to us countless times, “We want you to be happy with the results.” One of our concerns was the removal of our Jacuzzi tub. Some contractors that we interviewed told us that our Jacuzzi had to be cut up and removed in pieces, creating extra dust, increased costs, and possibly increasing the risk of damages to our home. Matthew and Stephen removed the Jacuzzi in one piece without any damage or inconvenience to us. The walk-in shower that they installed to replace the Jacuzzi tub came out just as we were told. Matthew Smith’s tile work was phenomenal. We told him his tile work was artistic! You could tell he took the time to make everything just perfect, a sign of a quality contractor. Matthew and Stephen kept us informed every step of the way and we felt like this was a partnership. On a scale of 1-10, we would give them a 12! We were very pleased with the results and we would not hesitate to hire Matthew and Stephen for future projects. They both were honest and courteous, pleasant, careful, respectful and did an incredible job. What more could you ask for in a contractor?"

"Troy and his team were hired to replace a set of stairs on my deck that were too steep and falling into disrepair. When we obtained a quote from him he came over and advised that the desk was also missing a support beam. Troy and his team went above and beyond to not only put a new staircase on and reinforce the deck, but also looked for ways to improve the aesthetics of the existing deck that wasn't changing. The work that they did was done very professionally and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to our family and friends."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Cicero, NY

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.
