"Keith Williams is the definition of professionalism. Not only is his work incredible, but he is extremely personable. We replaced a wooden gate and section of fence with a wrought iron gate. Keith discussed all possible options that might work well with our needs. He did not try to up-sell any features; if anything, he mentioned some aspects that might save us money. We ended up choosing a single 10-foot gate with small sections on either side. The project took 3 days, but the first day was mostly setting the posts and allowing the concrete to set. Keith and his assistant were always punctual. I highly recommend him for your wrought iron fence and gate needs."

"Paul's Tile has a wonderful staff! They did a very professional installation of the shower and tub. They were on time each day, very hard working and did an excellent job of tiling the shower and installing the glass and our new tub which required moving the drain in the slab. They removed all debris associated with the job. They were very courteous and efficient. Cash Edinger, co-owner of Paul's Tile, oversaw the project and did an excellent job of keeping me informed of each day's schedule. He followed up on the work each day and made sure everything was done correctly and that I was pleased with the work. All in all it was an excellent experience. I would recommend Paul's Tile to my friends if they needed similar work done. They also supplied an excellent drywall man for another project."

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