"Bill from Tropicana was amazing. His company offers what every home owner desires in the contractor they hire. Knowledgeable and experienced, prompt and courteous, Bill was meticulous in every aspect of my project. From planning, installation and clean up, every detail was handled with care. I always felt comfortable leaving him alone in my house. He was even good with my dogs! Last but not least he made my project affordable. I received a BEAUTIFUL tiled shower for "pennies" more than one of those prefabricated inserts. I am lucky to have hired him, and would give a verbal recommendation to anyone considering his services."

"James and his team did an absolutely fabulous job correcting our unlevel floor to prep it for LVP and wool carpet. He made the measuring, ordering, delivery, and installation process completely seamless. In addition to coordinating with our general contractor since we were out of state. I would HIGHLY recommend this company for any and all your flooring installation needs!!"

"Ed did great work.  He got all of these projects done in one day. 

In addition to painting the lanai, he installed new chain and plate for the fan, and painted another light fixture out there.  Lanai now looks fresh and new.  The kitchen drawer now slides and is usable.  Lastly, you would never know there were holes where he plugged them.  Since I had no interior paint, I asked him to use the exterior paint from the lanai as it had the same finish.  His expertise resulted in a wall that looks it had never had holes in it. 

Because I had an appointment, I needed to leave and intended to return.  However, Ed encouraged me to run my errands and he would lock up when he was done.  I had no qualms doing that as I trusted him completely.  I returned that evening, simply curious to see how it all turned out and was very happy."

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