"I would give ten stars if I could. I used Atlantic Contractors about a year ago for a project and loved it ! I hired them back to complelty re-do my bathroom and it's subflooring because there were some soft spots in the floor and trouble with old/leaky plumbing. I am over the moon with the results. Brent and his team have adapted quickly to any obstacle that may arise and know exactly what to do to fix it, especially doing work in an older house like mine, because you never really know what you're getting into until you pull up the floor and take down the walls. They came across old & dead mold behind the walls and took it upon themselves to treat with enzymes, wipe and let dry with a dehumidifier. I was impressed ! The final cost came in $300 less that their original estimate because Brent said they didn't have to remove and re-install my vanity, so that was a very nice surprise ! I'd recommend them any time and look forward to them doing my next project !"

"Within days of purchasing the deal, I received the instructions and paper to draw my table templates. The table has 2 drop leaves plus 2 additional leaves that can be inserted in the table. The templates were pretty easy to draw. The finished pads were delivered in a very short time. They fit the table and each of the 4 leaves perfectly and magnetically lock together to keep them aligned when on the table. A year and a half later, I still love these pads."

"I have been thinking about remodeling my shower since I purchased my home. I never took the steps towards the remodel because dealing with contractors can be scary. Well, Re-Bath has given me new hope in contractors. They did a great job!! They were helpful and professional from beginning to end. They stayed with-in my budget, and gave me great ideas. They completed my shower with in 3 days.... the shower door took a while because it was a custom door. He was still "on-point" with the time frame for the door. I was so comfortable that I left them in the house and went to the gym. I am in love with my bathroom, and I plan to do business with them again.

"Your Way Construction responded to our inquiry and followed up with several calls and emails. We scheduled a time to look at our project of hauling yard debris away and they were able to do it the next day. The next day they had a glich in the time schedule and called immediately to let us know there might be a change. In the end, they were able to keep their original commitment. They were very professional and hard working and did a very nice job. I definitely would recommend them and would use them again."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Dagsboro, DE

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.
