"Coming from an engineering and construction family, Out of the Ordinary Construction exceeded our expectations. Credible outfit with incredible results! Their work is the best I have seen both with ?behind the wall? repairs and in with ?front of the wall? installation and aesthetics. Out of the Ordinary Construction is not like other contractors that often use a ?one size fits all? approach. They have a genuine passion for solving construction problems and delivering custom high quality results. They arrive on site when they say they will, treat your property with respect, and communicate well so there are no surprises. John is collaborative, transparent, and knowledgeable in many disciplines of construction. John and his crew took the time to explain the job and options for repair in detail allowing me to make a informed choices based on cost and timing. I am so glad that I hired Out of the Ordinary Construction to repair the damage from a wax ring failure."

"Really Great work. He made his work look very professional. Only thing is he doesn’t caulk his work. He did make a nice wood frame for dishwasher to slide in, but he forgot to Measure the depth of the dishwasher from the wall out. The plumber had to cut out the back of the frame off when installing the dishwasher, so it could fit. No biggie . Very very Nice guy, I would highly recommend."

"OK in general. The work was delayed a lot by the weather. The rotten top two 2x4 beams (10 feet long) were removed and replaced and primer placed on the bare wood during the first visit. That part of the job was excellent. When it came time to paint the new wood, the worked thought he was to do the carpentry work first. He noted it was done and offered to paint the entire trellis. He used a roller then a brush, but it was blue on blue, and I couldn't tell if anything was not painted. However it was clear he did not cover the white primer on the new wood well at all. There were multiple white areas showing. This could not be seen at eye level, but was glaringly obvious as you went up the stairs to our front porch, and was easily seen from the porch. I reported this to the manager, and she sent out a professional to finish the job correctly."

"Dale was very professional and meticulous in the work he did to repair our kitchen ceiling. We had a hard time getting together at first due to his busy schedule but he made time on a Sunday to due to the work which was above and beyond what we expected. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a skilled drywall installation or repair person . We are thinking of using his services again for other projects in the future."

"Mark and Adam did an AMAZING job! If I could give them a score from 1-10, it would be a 20! They found many issues where things were done wrong in the 80 years since the house was built and they fixed every one from the floor joists being un-level, to electric wiring run outside the wall to the sink drain being piped wrong. They were both so professional and precise with all there work. They did a new floor, new cabinets, backsplash tiles, new plumbing, new outlets, new back door and screen door. And they were so reasonably priced! Everything is awesome and I will definitely be hiring them again. I wish I could post before and after pictures!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Elizabethtown, PA

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.
