"Carlos and his brother did excellent work, in addition to painting, they installed carpet and flooring, and helped with small repairs needed- drywall, window screen replacement, and installation of an electrical outlet. Carlos kept us informed each step of the way, and completed all work with timeliness and professionalism ."

"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!"

"Geo was very professional and friendly to work with. Price quoted was reasonable. Work required removing a section of hardiboard siding (up to 9" height) to expose AC refrigerant line for an AC repair, then came back to replace the insulation and siding and paint to match existing. Joshua did a great job on the work - very methodical. Work was started/completed on time and looks great. Would hire them again."

"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."

"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."

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

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.
