"Hired a different contractor to install a new front door. They never completed the job even after several attempts calling them. Spoke to Wally. His guys came the next day and finished the work quickly, professionally and right. Should have used Wally in the first place."

"Fabiano's team did an exceptional job replacing our stair railing - the result is beautiful, extremely well constructed and the experience was better than we could have hoped. The team was respectful and clean and the pricing was affordable. I will absolutely hire them again if projects arise and highly recommend them!"

"Ive been using LHI for some time now and they never fail to deliver high quality projects. With their help, I have flipped several houses now. This last one located in Wayne, they have gutted fully for me. They installed and finished off all the drywall, remodelled a kitchen and two bathrooms and painted. The only other company i had to call was for the roof and siding making the process and collaboration on this projext a breeze. I recomend them to anyone looking to remodel their home or for help with flipping one."

"Allen of Path Hardwood floors was great to deal with. We had a specific window of time before we moved into our new home to get the work done, and Allen was on time and on schedule throughout. The finished results were awesome (he matched the stairs/railings to the darker floors throughout the first floor of the house) and contrary to my expectations given the amount of sanding required, there was almost zero dust/dirt. Thorough cleanup afterwards as well. I would definitely recommend Path Hardwood Floors."

"I contacted JA drywall to work on some popcorn ceilings for me. Josh was very responsive and arrived on time to give me an estimate. To his credit, he did inform me that his estimate would probably be higher than other estimates I would receive. I decided to go with Josh because I felt he was honest, how he communicated with me and because he was available via telephone. Unlike other drywall contractors, who did not show up or were very flaky with the communication. Josh started the work on time and finished when he said he would be complete. Josh did a great job with my ceilings. The drywall was installed, taped, and sanded. I was very impressed with the work they did and I would absolutely hire him again. If you’re looking for drywall to be completed, Contact Josh and then call other companies and you’ll see the difference in communication. A+ in my book."

"Overall it was not bad, but I did not have a good enough experience to be willing to use them again.  I had bought the installation deal for this faucet here on Angie's list.  The first time we scheduled an appointment his truck broke down and he forgot to call me to cancel.  I understand these things happen, but I waited 3 hours before finally calling him to find out he totally forgot about our appointment.  So communication wasn't that great.  On the phone he said that since he had cancelled on me without any heads up, if anything extra came up during the faucet replacement he'd take care of it for me.  When we rescheduled the appointment, he arrived on time and complained that the vanity was very tight and the countertop was challenging to access.  I guess it's not the biggest vanity in the world, but it certainly isn't unreasonably small.  I had also already disconnected the old faucet in advance, making his job even easier.  But he went on a few times about how tight of an access it was.  Then he told me it would be an additional $75 to replace the P trap.  I knew the P trap needed to be replaced, but when I reminded him about our phone call and how he said he'd take care of unforeseen issues for me as a favor for missing our first appointment, he said "that was before I had seen this vanity."  So in a nutshell, he claimed that to install my specific bathroom faucet would have been more money than the $125 angie's list deal because of a smaller vanity and that he was throwing me that extra charge for free and then charging the additional $75 for the replacement of the P-trap.  At the end of the day, the price wasn't that bad and the service quality is fine, but the whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth and I'd rather try my luck with someone new next time I need plumbing work done.

"The office worked with me as I have an old white aluminum fence. The workers were very prompt and exceeded my expectations for balancing a gate that was badly askew. We could not locate white hinges so they painted the black ones for me. Both gates were balanced perfectly and the front one was raised to accommodate a new walkway. New magna latches were installed in both gates. I would definitely hire them again."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Essington, 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.
