"We hired Tyler to close in a doorway to make a second bedroom for our daughter. He was extremely professional and his work was exceptional. The job was very clean and he communicated with us every step of the way. We’ve since used him for several light fixture installs and will continue to call on him for all of our renovation needs!"

"We discussed our plans and David made some suggestions on roof design and use of some aluminum for screen connections vs. outrageous wood prices! David kept us informed of deliveries and scheduled work plans. He was very easy to work with and we are very pleased with this project!"

"Juan did a great job! I hired him to do the backsplash in my kitchen and I was very pleased with his work! He has a great attention to detail and wants you to be happy with his work! He is definitely more than just a handyman he’s a craftsman. He also painted the wall and the trim and did a great job. I am definitely planning on using him again in the future. I think you would be pleased with his work and his work ethic!"

"Excellent. Jimmy and his guys are very professional and really care about the quality of the work they do. They repaired nail pops, plaster imperfections similar items before applying two coats of excellent quality paint. In addition to the painting work that was quoted, they also recaulked the ceiling molding in the master bedroom and repainted a wood panel over the fireplace at no additional cost. The only hiccup was with the color consultant that Jimmy recommended. She didn't tell us about or recommend us to buy paint samples which we could try before we committed to a color. As a result, we painted the entire great room and kitchen with a color we had picked from the color wheel only to find out we didn't like it and had to have the entire area repainted which added to time and cost. Other than that, we were very pleased with the job they did. We had used them in our previous home and were very pleased with that job too."

"Brain the owner did an amazing and professional job on my home, he redid my entire downstairs and changed it from carpet to hardwood. My floors look phenomenal and I couldn’t be happier. His prices were fair and his work and work ethic were very impressive, will definitely hire again if need any handiwork or when I need my upstairs done."

"We were not impressed or happy with several issues. We had left curtains on several of the windows, the painters took the curtains down and then used them as drop cloths. They left paint all over several doorknobs, air conditioning intakes, and several large drops and smears on bannisters and railings to our stairs and great room. They did not edge between the walls and the ceilings so the lines are uneven and wiggly. They tracked paint over our front porch and poured out the water they used to clean the brushes on my plants by the front door. There was also cigarette butts left on the grounds outside the house and they left so much trash on the floor that the people who came in to do the floors called us and would not work until it had been cleaned up. After we complained to them, they did come in and clean the doorknobs, air conditioning vents, and the bannister, but the wall/ ceiling joints still need to be retouched in several places to look neat and clean (we are going to have to do this ourselves) . The walls look good, and the owner very nice and communicated well, but the workers were left unsupervised. We liked Robert a lot, but I was disappointed in the above issues."

"Mike and Crystal were very professional from the first phone contact through the completion of the work. They showed up on time, their work was neat and they worked very efficiently. My windows were in pretty bad shape. They really took their time and prepped them very well which showed in the finished product. When asked to redo or touch up anything it was done without question. In the end we received a very good paint job on a timely basis and at a competitive price. I have already recommended Mike's Painting to others in my neighborhood and would use him again for future painting needs.

"Marcial and his crew were prompt, professional and hard working. I received Marcials' proposal in a timely fashion, which is more than I can say about some of his competitors in the Columbia area. They arrived at the job site each day in a timely manner, worked 8 to 10 hours,cleaned up daily and completed the job in approximately six days. Martial was very helpful assisting us with the correct type and color of paints and stains. He replaced all identified rotten wood on our home, which is 100+ years old, as well as some wood which we had not identified upon initial inspection. He also found a shingle on the roof that required replacing and took care of that at no additional cost. Marcial and his crew are excellent painters,answered all our questions and did an outstanding job at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Marcial - Carolina Professional Painters LLC."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Elgin, SC

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.
