"High quality work. Great value. Ricardo finished a paint job I had started and gave me some much needed relief! Added some finishing touches to gutters and made the whole job look remarkable. Would definitely hire again!"

"CJM Custom Homes & Renovations was given the task of finishing the room above our garage into a fully functional apartment. Jarrett Spence (owner CJM) oversaw most of the work himself and was there from the initial meeting and design through to the clean-up before we moved ourselves in! The job included dividing the 300+sqft space into a living/den area, kitchen, bathroom, and large storage closet/laundry space. So Jarrett and his various crews were responsible for electrical service expansion, central air, framing, drywall, carpentry, custom cabinets in the kitchen, insulation, trim, tile, plumbing, finishing wood floors, staining and painting, installing gutters on the exterior, and then as a bonus we had them finish the garage below with insulation and drywall and some additional lighting.
The entire job began at the very beginning of October and Jarrett did everything in his power to meet our deadline of a week before Christmas finish successfully. It came down to the wire, but he did it! There were a few days where we were upset that people weren't out there getting done more quickly, but regardless of that CJM met our due date without sacrificing any quality in their work and we couldn't be happier. The end result is a perfectly designed apartment that is VERY energy efficient and looks incredible (partly in thanks to my amazing wife's decorating!).
Over the course of the job, there were very few mistakes made. One example was that the cabinets were initially installed incorrectly and did not meet the specifications of the appliances we had ordered. However, rather than attempt to gut us for the cost, Jarrett acknowledged the mistake and the carpenter tore out the cabinets and redid them with correct measurements at no cost. Both Jarrett and his crews were very honest, good, and generally easy-going people to work with.
The cost of the job was higher than another contractor we had bid on the project, but substantially lower than another we had bid. I do not thing CJM is the cheapest possible option, but they do VERY good work and it is true that in contractors you get exactly what you pay for. I have since come back to CJM as my hands-down first choice for another project at our house due to how well they have performed for us.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in College Station, TX

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.
