"FIREPLACE ELECTRICAL INSERT!! We hired Vinc and crew a second time to make the fireplace insert happen. They worked very hard to modify the old brick opening and seal everything up properly. Vinc has great suggestions and ideas! He created us a one of a kind beautiful year round updated look for our home we love & been enjoying for two weeks! We will hire him again!"

"They were terrific. They were great. They had offered to replace some carpeting and I don’t normally replace carpeting in rental unit and I usually go back with a more durable type of flooring if it’s not cleaned well or if it’s too stained and they had given me an estimate for another product but they were prompt in communications and did exactly what they said they were going to do and at this time, we just went with the cleaning and they did the best they could with the stains. They were very responsive to questions and very flexible to work with me and getting it done right."

"THEY LEFT TO BUY PARTS AND WATER DRIPPED THROUGH THE BASEMENT DRYWALL (NOTICED AFTER WORK WAS DONE). THEY ONLY PUT ONE COAT OF PAINT ON THE FRONT PORCH POSTS AND DIDN'T FINISH CARPENTRY WORK. THEY SAID THEY'D BE BACK TO FINISH PAINTING THE WINDOW FRAME AND AT THAT TIME I WOULD HAVE ASKED THEM TO FINISH PAINTING AND FINISH DETAIL WORK ON THE POSTS. I ASKED HIM TO COME BACK TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE ON OTHER WOODWORK AND HE NEVER CAME BACK. HIS WORKER ASKED ME TO COMPLETE A SATISFACTORY REPORT TO ANGIE'S LIST AND I SAID I WOULD WOULD AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE.

"It went great, from the time i called they were very honest about everything, they were advising me on how to save money by doing things a certain way and using certain products, thats how we were actually able to include the deck lol. they always cleaned up after themselves and were very respectful us. The only issue we ever had was the delivery with all the wood for the deck was tied up and wasn't going to come for another 3 days, but they decided to make 2 trips bringing the wood themselves so not to waist any time. I really appreciated that because i had family visiting from out of state the following week and i really needed to get all the work completed by them, which they did :) I would definitely use them again!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Farmington, MO

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.
