"Carlos and Brothers replaced five windows for us. Because we live in an older home, it was necessary for them to custom-fit each of the windows, replacing and sizing most of the frames and sills. Given location of the windows, they also installed flashing under the windows, which rest on our sunroom roof. Their work was excellent! The windows, including painting and sealing surrounding surfaces, are lovely. Communication was prompt and clear throughout the duration of the work, the final cost was far lower than other estimates we received, and Carlos and his partners were pleasant, considerate of our needs, and tolerant of our yappy dog. I would hire them in a heartbeat to do other work on our house."

"The work that Leon Home repairs did was fantastic. They were so kind and understanding to my wife. They were always on time or I would get a call explaining why. This rarely happened though. Their work was top quality and I intend to use them to repair anything in the future on my home. Very Professional and top quality."

"It went well. I needed the work done and had alot of trouble finding someone. When I contacted Mr. Handyman of Wester Wake County, the scheduler had someone come out the very next day and the person who came out finished all the work I needed done before he left and cleaned up behind himself."

"If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! From the moment I shared my stairs/railing project with Raul, it was clear I was working with a true professional. His insights and suggestions were invaluable, elevating the project in ways I hadnâ t considered. His pricing was more than fair, and he completed the work promptly, keeping me informed every step of the way. Raul's communication, expertise, cleanliness and attention to detail made the entire process seamless and stress-free. I couldnâ t be happier with the results and will 100% hire him again in the future. Highly recommend Raul to anyone seeking top-notch work!"

"The project was difficult, finishing an already partially converted carport into a garage/workshop. They worked well with a bad weather season and took the time to make sure I was well in the loop with changes and also fully incorporated the changes I wanted without additional costs incurred I am definitely happy with the final product. and am considering another small project in future."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Durham, NC

A pro can set an attic ladder in two to four hours, including framing adjustments and finish work. Complex installs—like cutting a brand-new opening or trimming joists—land toward the high end of that window. Tackle the job yourself and plan on a full day, plus an extra pair of hands, since one mis-measurement can slow everything down.

Local building codes drive this decision. If your ceiling has a fire-rating requirement, the ladder must match it to maintain that protective barrier. A rated unit slows flame spread between the attic and living space, buying valuable evacuation time and limiting damage. 

Because codes vary by city and even by neighborhood, check with the permitting office or ask your contractor before you order the ladder.

Aluminum ladders are light, rust-proof, and easy to maneuver, making them a practical choice for most households. Wood models handle higher weight loads and can match traditional trim if aesthetics top your list, but they’re heavier and need occasional upkeep. 

Compare the ladder’s duty rating, your ceiling height, and how often you’ll use it. The best option is the one that balances safety, convenience, and the look you want without stretching the budget.
