"Our home project started by a referral from a local door company that we purchased a custom screen double door from and they sent over Michael to complete the install. Not only did he impress us with his eyes of detail on the product defects from the factory, he also made sure that the install was over and above satisfaction. In fact, we were so pleased to find out that he is a man of many trades and has a long history of successful construction projects in his portfolio. We were in need of installing a large deck rail on the front of our home facing the lake and together we came up with a beautiful product that not only enhanced the homes value and beauty, but also shows a very high standard of quality and craftsmanship. The talents that Michael and his son, Jacob, brought to our project make us very proud to enjoy not only the finished product but entirely changed the overall look of home. His very refined finishes were beyond impressive and his start to finish was the most professional I've ever encountered. He and his son, Jacob, are a team to recon with... I dare you to compare to any other installs in this quaint Rocky Mountain town in Pagosa Springs, Colorado and the surrounding Durango area. "Handy Man" is the best of the best!!!! In closing, I know everyone wants to know about labor costs... you will more than get what you pay for and you wont regret it!!! The quality is first class and the finishes are impeccable!! Time management was exactly what was estimated. The job site was treated with utmost respect and care was given to everything around the project and left in the most pristine condition after the project was complete!! Call Handy Man, "GET IT FIXED" for all of your home and commercial projects!! Thank you so very much "Handy Man" for such a beautiful product that we will enjoy for many many years to come!!!!

"Showed up on time. Cleaned up mess and hauled off debris. They were careful at taking out old steps and precise on measurements at putting steps back in. The crew was easy to get along with and seem to enjoy the work they do. I would recommend them to a friend."

"These guys did an amazing job. Their work ethic is out of this world. Even when it came time for the cleanup they did not miss a beat. No nails or any debris let anywhere. I am talking about on the driveway, grass, yard, or even our neighbors yards. They were that thorough. I would give them a 10 out 10. These guys were very professional. I would recommend this company to all my friends and neighbors. Don was great to work with and I am referring him to all our friends and neighbors. 5 star rating!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Durango, CO

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.
