"Gutter Ethics LLC came to my aid when no other roofing company would take the time to come out to my property. This is because back in early 2018, the Washington DC metro area had a powerful wind and rain storm that damaged numerous properties in the DC metro area. Roofs were completely blown off, trees fell on houses, cars, flooding some places. It was a mess and roofing companies were getting hundreds of calls a day and were completely overwhelmed and booked out for months at a time. I had a hole in my roof where the roofing tiles had blown off. I first needed a tarp on my roof to cover the hole to keep my house from experiencing further damage, and then I needed the whole roof replaced. Gutter Ethics LLC came to my rescue and immediately tarped the hole in my roof and put me on their schedule replace my roof. I can tell you from personal experience Gutter Ethics is an honorable and more than competent company. My new roof which was installed looks beautiful and I have had absolutely no problems since. Gutter Ethics is a very professional company and their workmanship is outstanding."

"In October 2014 Mr. Lazo came to look at the task at hand. I showed him what I wanted done and he pointed out a couple of wood rot problems that I had not noticed. Once we finished the walk around, he prepared a detailed proposal - before leaving.
I had also talked with another contractor about the same work. They took several days to prepare a proposal, and when I e-mailed with a specific question the reply I got (from the other company, not George's painting) was not satisfactory.
George mobilized his crew, and they were on the site at 7AM. Because there was rain in the forecast, he brought in a larger crew than original discussed, and was able to finish the job quicker than originally scheduled. The work was great, they carefully cleaned up and  left the house and yard in excellent shape.
I had specifically asked that they not touch one side of the garage because of some carpentry work that needed to be done - I was planning to do it. I was so pleased with the work that they did on the house and the rest of the garage that I asked George to give me a quote for doing the carpentry work on the garage. I liked the price and I decided to have him do it. The carpenter came out today Nov 12th - 7AM again, and took care of the carpentry work and painted it.
I am pleased with the work that George's Painting has done, and would expect to contact Mr. Lazo again in the future if I need interior painting or other painting or carpentry work. I don't expect to be needing any exterior painting.
I recommend George's Painting Inc. Quality work, done in a timely manner at a reasonable price!

"Every step of the way, from our interaction with the office to the finished product, there was clear and excellent communication, careful planning, detailed workmanship and pride in the finished product. There were unexpected extras that were not the fault of the contractor, and they were able to correct the problems. Pricing was fair and reasonable. I ordinarily don't make recommendations, but with A Cut Above Carpentry, I will make an exception. Very pleasant people to work with! A+++++"

"Jamie is awesome-  between my parents and I we wont use anyone else.   He is honest, detail oriented and over communicates with us. He shows up when he says he will, calls when he has an issue, question etc.  Open to any and all suggestions and will give you his feedback only when asked or doesnt seem right.  
The bathroom turned out better then I imaged. We did do some of the legwork to keep costs within our budget and he worked well with our plumber.  Would use over and over!

"I bought the Big Deal for services from Creative Hands Home Services because we needed some sheetrock repair after a plumbing leak, and had other household repairs as well.  The team showed up early and got to work immediately.  They were productive from the minute they walked in the door, had our to-do list in hand  already, and easily grasped what we needed to have done.  They got through our initial list within the time budget I had purchased and even were able to do one or two other things before they left.    Throughout they were attentive, careful of my house, and professional. Garry and crew will come back to finish some painting associated with the sheetrock repair, clean the roof, and  replace a light fixture.  We have also asked for estimates on more extensive work such as interior painting and finishing part of the basement.  I am in the real estate business and have had a number of handyperson crews to my home for repairs.  Garry and his team exceeded expectations and I would re-hire and recommend them to anyone looking for a quality company as your go-to team.  "

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Clear Spring, MD

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.
