"He did a great job of replacing my front porch steps. He replaced with Trex decking. My steps were a little out of position and now they are straight and look wonderful. There was a nest of wasps under my porch. He fogged under the porch because they were too far back. When I need something else done I will definitely use him again. He was prompt and kept me informed. "

I started this company because I love the work, and my family time is more important than my previous career thought it was. My main focus is trim carpentry, but as you can see in the photos I'm capable of much more. I have a passion for doing the job right, I'm a firm believer in honesty, and I welcome all ideas and input-after all, in the end it's the clients project. Added bonus-I'm clean and dependable.

"He was hard working and very efficient. I would highly recommend him for any of your carpentry projects. He was a delight to have at the house."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Duluth, MN

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.
