"We contacted John from Kirch Improvements on February 4, 2019. He replied immediately, met with us at our home promptly and on time, presentation of materials and workmanship was very professional, answered all questions and sent a detailed estimate within days. Our wood deck was removed and the new Azek deck was installed in one day. Workmanship was excellent. We would highly recommend Kirch Improvements."

"I plan to have Superior Improvements handle all future door and window problems.   Ryan Loosen is the owner and also installed the my new patio door.   Went above and beyond on installation and making sure everything was done correctly.   Ryan really knows his stuff.  He is meticulous, a perfectionist and very professional.

"I was cleaning out my gutters when I noticed that some were bent which was leading to leaves and anything else getting stuck in them. Also along the back of my house there was a hole causing water to leak out. I made the call on Friday to Watry Homes and as of yesterday they are fixed. It took maybe two hours or so to get the hole covered and to bend the gutter back into shape. I also got a quote for my siding while they were they so that when I am ready I can get both things replaced. I can not say enough about Scott who came out and did a great job of letting me know what was needed and  what I would be looking at in terms of fixing now vs replacing. A lot of times a company will try to just say you need everything new when that may not be the case. Which makes me feel good to now yet again I made a great choice."

"The project went well. Chris and his Son were polite and did a good job. Under the cold conditions they were able to provide a high quality product. The work they did in my garage looks amazing. They were also able to touch up my existing drywall and re-texture and paint to make the whole garage seamless. There were a few minor cracks to the seams that showed up. Chris is going to wait until the weather warms up to come back and take care of them. I'm confident this will be resolved and he was more than willing to address and take care of it. I'll post an update once the work is done. I also had them paint some exposed wood around my garage door. They did a very nice job and I'm thrilled with the work."

"They were good. The job ended up really nice. It looks really professional. We were able to master stain that was with the house. It was very well done. The workers were nice guys. That was a place that I could say I would definitely recommend. I had a couple of windows installed and that was a separate charge. The dormer was $1200 including the window. I had two windows installed. They had to work with the inside trim and the exterior trim where it's next to the brick. It was $700 for that. I had the windows provided myself. I paid for those separately. It wasn't included in the cost. It was just for the labor and parts like the wood. I can't really ask for anything. I trust that he was overseeing things properly and that his workers were qualified along with the carpentry skills that they had. That's why I liked them. It's because I have seen the quality. It was apparent. I wanted to get the same level because he set such a high standard with that. I think it was a little extra with the cost for him but I had to pay for what I get. I would use him in the future."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Delafield, WI

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.
