"I am a single woman living alone, and I'm not very handy with tools, so I purchased Eyal's Big Deal to have him move and re-install some wire shelving in my bedroom closet.  HE WAS FANTASTIC!  He accommodated my schedule and arrived punctually on a Sunday morning with all  his own tools.   As soon as I described what I wanted him to do with the closet, he knew exactly what to do, and he even came up with a suggestion on how to increase the hanging space in the closet, which worked beautifully.  He worked quickly and he cleaned up after himself.  He patched the holes, and he even would have vacuumed, except that there was so much time left over from my 3-hour Big Deal that I had him do other small projects.  His motto is,"there's always a solution." He was productive every minute of the three hour time frame, and he made sure that the finished product was perfect.  He said, "if I wouldn't like it in my house, I'm not going to do it that way for you."  We discussed other projects, and he had brilliant ideas on how to build a vanity area in my bedroom on a budget and how to switch the closet door so that it would open out into the room without damaging the door frame (I live in a rental, so that is very important to me).  Besides his work ethic, he was very personable and a pleasure to deal with.  I will definitely be hiring him again soon.

"I hired a handyman for a day. Carlos arrived punctually and I went over the list of items I needed performed. I was not sure if everything could be completed but he set to work and did an amazing amount in just 8 hours. He repaired a broken kitchen drawer and broken cabinet. He reattached a wet bar that had come away from the wall. He affixed a vanity in the master bath that the original workers had not attached to the bathroom wall and then replaced the faucet fixtures. He removed and installed a new kitchen faucet set. He removed 4 overhead fans and replaced them with new fans I had purchased for 2 bedrooms, the living room and the patio. He also removed a very old unpleasant grass like rug on the patio and helped me to clean and remove old crusted dirt and detritus from the walls and hurricane shuuters and together we got the concrete floor in perfect condition for him to install a new outdoor grass rug as replacement. It looks like a brand new space. He worked hard and steadily and even took apart one of the fans when it would not cooperate initially. He took 1/2 lunch break and went right back to work. He did not charge anything extra on top of the deal I purchased. He was a good guy who knew what he was doing and worked very efficiently. At the end of the day he carried out all the old fans, hardware,boxes, and junk that had accumulated. And helped me cleanup. He was a very good communicator with a good grasp of the English language. I thoroughly enjoyed working with and highly recommend him."

"Gabriel does excellent work. Fair price and honest, which is most important to me. The repairs Gabriel did came out flawless, you cannot see any seems or transitions. Gabriel even primed the repaired areas, so all I have to do is paint. Gabriel is coming back out to do another repair where a leaking pipe damaged drywall in my family room. I would 1000% recommend the services of Craftman Ventura Group."

"The service I purchased was for two hours of work to replace rotted wood. The price was extremely reasonable and shortly after my purchase I was contacted by Marilyn the owner's wife. She was very nice to deal with and we scheduled the work for later in the week. The workers arrived on time and consisted of Mario (the owner of the company) and Rene (his helper). They went right to work and did an EXCELLENT job. They did a great job cleaning up the work area and the work they did made the wood look like new! I was extremely happy with them and would heartily recommend them. Mario was especially personable and provided great customer service!!! Definitely recommend them for any task (they also paint houses). Thank you SAGa PAINTING..."

"it went well.  Dan and his assistant arrived on time.  he had to leave and get the supplies he needed after he saw the job that needed to be done.  they both did a good job and was worth the money.  my only comment would be he seemed a little annoyed when he had to go back to Home Depot again for more supplies, which was certainly not my fault, and seemed to not want to paint, which was part of the job I hired them for.  all in all, a good experience and would use them again.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Fort Lauderdale, FL

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.
