"We hired the crew to complete several home improvement projects including installation of picture frames molding, replacing stair railings, painting several rooms, installing a new utility sink, and some electrical work. The crew is very friendly and courteous and takes pride in their work. If there were any issues they were open to making changes without question. I will definitely be hiring them again in the future."

"We were very happy with the work completed by Leon Home Repairs. They were efficient and thorough. The work included installing a new countertop, sink, faucet,, and light fixture in one bathroom and painting the bathroom; removing painted wallpaper from one large wall and smoothing and painting the wall; replacing one set of bifold closet doors and trimming off and adjusting multiple other sets so they would operate smoothly; and replacing large window panels and the door in our front entryway. Dimas, who served as the foreman for the work on our house, also smelled gas in our utility closet and on his own initiative, figured out where the gas leak was and showed us, so we could call someone to come repair that. The team had an excellent range of skills and knowledge to tackle the variety of work we needed them to do. We will definitely call Leon Home Repairs again if we need more work done in the future."

"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!"

"Screen porch at back of house was either poorly designed or incorrectly built. Brinson put me in touch with a structural engineer to determine the best way to salvage the porch without it collapsing completely. Because the appointment was a few weeks after the engineer's visit, he had a team come out and install a temporary support structure to make sure it didn't collapse before the work could be completed. Would hire again and have already set up an appointment to have work done on my front porch."

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.
