"Had to replace an ancient Jenn-Air drop-in range with downdraft (installed in 1979) with a new LG duel fuel gas stove/electric oven range slide in. Knew it would take some work. Randy and Dan were great during the installation. Tim was very responsive."

"James and Jaime were very helpful with replacing all of my closet doors. The price was fair, they took their time and even made recommendations on other jobs we’re looking to do without being pushy. The father and son duo work together well, they are very prompt and accommodating. We’re definitely hiring them for a few more projects! You won’t be disappointed."

"Dan was very prompt in returning my phone calls and providing me with a quote for the job. He came out a few times to make sure that the details were all correct. We were very impressed with the drawings that he provided for the job. We have been pleased with the end result and have been enjoying our built-ins for a few months now."

"This review is long overdue. The house we purchased is 20-something years old and had old 12x12 tile on top of an extra layer of plywood on the first floor as well the original carpet throughout. Cawood was recommended to me by my uncle, and I had called or visited several other vendors as well. I chose Cawood because of the quality of their product, personalized service from Mr. Cawood and their reasonable price. Their crew arrived on time and worked hard to remove the nailed down subfloor under the tile. After this was done, the crew discovered that our floors were not level enough to install the hardwood we'd chosen. They could have done a few things to even out the original sub floors and just installed the new hardwoods...I would not have known the difference. But Mr. Cawood visited the site and explained how our new floors would buckle or crack if we didn't work on the subfloors first. Even though he had to rearrange his crew's schedule and other jobs, he made sure our job was done right. He called a few contractors he knew and gave us names of those who could do what we needed and fit us in. We chose one of them, the work was completed, and Mr. Cawood came out to inspect the subfloors before the new hardwood and carpets were installed. Once he gave the ok, his crew installed our hardwood and carpet quickly throughout both floors of our home. Today, a few years later, both carpet and hardwoods still look brand new. The hardwoods are durable, don't scratch easily and the color is beautiful. Our carpeting is soft, extremely stain resistant, and still plush. I appreciate the value and service we received from Cawood floors and will call them when we decide to redo our basement.

"fantastic - from the detail in the proposal to the execution on time on budget. They took the mantle off, removed and took away the old tile, figured out a way to dispense with some of the typical underlayment in order for the new stone hearth to come out flush with the floor, and installed the new tile. There was some basement reinforcement needed due to the workaround and they did that. Did a beautiful job - from carpentry to tile to painting. AND on their way out moved a ceiling light fixture and repaired the ceiling such that it was seamless. I am a fan!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Dillsboro, IN

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.
