From chimney sweeping & repairs, to leak diagnosis & solutions, to animal removal & prevention, we do it all professionally. Call us today!

"A few weeks ago I had this company come out for a chimney sweep. The two guys that showed up and swept my chimney. During the sweep, the tech identified that I need to have two refractory panels in my fireplace replaced due to cracking. I agreed that it did appear they needed replacing. He then told me he had the panels on the truck and could do them right away. He told me that normally the back panel was $750 but would do it today for $550. He then told me that the bottom panel was $200 more than the back panel- he said he would replace both for $1200. That seemed awfully high and I told him I would think about it. During the past couple weeks I have received two other quotes to replace the two panels. The first quote I received said it would be between $500-600 total and the second quote told me he could do it for $400 total. I had no issues with the chimney sweep process. The issue is the dishonesty of the techs who tried to pressure me and rip me off."

"Sales was excellent, but that’s where it ended. Was told someone would come out for accurate measurements to send to manufacturer. No one ever called. Soon i was charged for the doors to be made but never had official measurements taken and it was like pulling teeth for someone to provide me proof that measurements were taken when no one was home. I was told it happened on 10/31 but I was out of state. So must have broken into my property to do it then? Skip ahead two months, one door shows up to be installed but can’t as it doesn’t fit. Shocking. Three months later all doors arrive for install. First time I touch it the screen falls off my patio door. On the other door the hardware isn’t what I ordered to begin with and there is a dent in the steel paneling. So one of three doors is working out for me. In total, it’s been six months since i signed on the contract and i haven’t so much as received a “hey, we’re sorry this has been awful and we really appreciate your $15,000. How can we make it right?” Instead I have to inquire DAILY with someone from installation scheduling (since this is the only contact I have aside from sales) about when and how management is going to fix it. I went with Champion as for the warranty and quality of work. Never again"

Welcome to Quinn Windows, a family-owned and operated window replacement and home remodeling company founded in 1980 in Atlanta, Georgia. We specialize in complete Window and Door replacement. We'd like to be your next contractor. Your home is likely your biggest investment and you need someone trustworthy and knowledgeable to improve and protect that investment. Over 30 years experience, an excellent rating with the Better Business Bureau and an endless list of references are only a few things that speak for how trustworthy and knowledgeable we are. At Quinn Windows, we put our family name on every project we do. Each job we do reflects on our reputation and we work hard to do the best work we can do to protect that reputation. The philosophy is simple: Quality products, quality work, personalized service, fair prices, and absolutely no gimmicks.

"From the initial sales call with Mike to working out the contract details with Meghan to the installation with Ryan and Mack, I was consistently impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail of Quinn Windows. Not once did I second guess my decision to go with them. The sales presentation was very low pressure, making sure all my questions were answered and giving me time to evaluate the information and make my decision. I put my deposit down in mid-July and the windows were installed 8/25 which I felt was an excellent turnaround compared with what some of my neighbors have experienced with other companies. The installation team, Ryan and Mack, were great. They worked ten plus hours in my un-air-conditioned house on one of the hottest days this summer and took the time to get every detail right and then cleaned up everything before they left. I am recommending Quinn Windows to all my neighbors!"

Wood stairs and railings installations and replacements FAQs

A standard outdoor handrail installation takes an average of eight hours for a professional to complete a five to 10-foot section. This includes time for proper measurement, securing mounting hardware, and ensuring the railing is level and stable. 

More complex installations involving multiple sections or challenging mounting surfaces may require additional time. Weather conditions can also affect the timeline, particularly for installations requiring concrete work or certain adhesives that need specific temperatures to cure properly.

Aluminum offers the best combination of weather resistance and value for outdoor handrails. Unlike wood, it won't rot, warp, or require regular sealing, and unlike steel or iron, it naturally resists rust without special coatings. Vinyl and composite materials also perform well in various weather conditions, but may not provide the same structural strength as metal options. 

For coastal areas with salt exposure or regions with extreme temperature fluctuations, powder-coated aluminum provides excellent durability with minimal maintenance requirements.

Most localities require building permits for outdoor handrail installations, especially for front entrances or elevated decks. Permit costs range from $20 to $30, though requirements vary significantly by location. Building codes specify requirements for handrail height (36 to 42 inches), spacing between balusters (less than four inches), and load-bearing capacity. 

Checking with your local building department before beginning installation helps ensure your project will meet all safety requirements and avoid potential fines or required modifications later.

Building codes often require handrails for any elevated surface that rises more than 30 inches above ground level. Additionally, many local regulations mandate railings for staircases with multiple steps, particularly in areas accessible to the public. 

Even if your steps don't meet the minimum height requirement for mandatory railings, adding handrails significantly improves safety for all users, especially during inclement weather or at night. A local building inspector or contractor can evaluate your specific situation and advise on both code requirements and safety recommendations.
