"When we bought our house, there was nothing in the master bedroom closet - not a pole, not a shelf or even a hook. Jason built us a beautiful, functional closet system complete with a granite bench and a wall of shoe cubbies. He also built an impressive set of stairs from our 2nd story deck down to the backyard so my dog could easily go outside. He does excellent work and I highly recommend him."

"This interaction was GREAT! Milton and his crew were great. We had to wait forever on the weather, but we finally were able to get started. Milton identified things about my house that were destructive. He made arrangements to have some taken care of, and I made further arrangements to have other things that he identified taken care of. He went above and beyond just staining my house. He became a partner in my home’s well-being. Highly recommended."

"Our roof was about 17+ years old and several years ago, in one bedroom, we started to notice a leak in the ceiling. We had a roofing company come to inspect and they replaced an area of shingles they thought could be the culprit. Unfortunately, this slowed down the leak but never fixed it 100%. Fast forward to several years later and the leak is back and worse. We also had been considering replacing all the gutters, adding getting gutter guards and wanted a quote. We called three companies with good Angie's list reviews as we were looking for a different company to try than last time. One company never called back, another company called back 4 days later (wow no thanks) but TCS answered the phone with a live person. She was professional, kind and took all the needed information. Then within 45mins James (owner) called to get more specific details on our issue. He checked the schedule, booked a technician and updated me with all the needed details via text. This was a great and efficient use of both his and my time. The tech Donnie called the day of the appointment and was able to make it out a bit early. He was great. We hunted to try to identify the leak in the attic. He and the other tech worked as a team to try and find the source of the issues. It was a mystery but one thing was for sure... The roof was old and nearing its end of life. Donnie and his tech caulked the several nails that could be the issue for FREE but advised we needed to consider more work to truly fix the leak. The next day James (owner) called and we discussed getting together to look at the gutter options and to take another look at the leak and see if we could find the source. James came over as scheduled (a bit early with a courtesy call too) and he walked the whole roof and made several investigative videos. He also looked in the attic in great detail. We reviewed the videos and a few things were instantly apparent. One, the original roof was installed with a lot of incorrect shingle placement issues (many only 2-3" spaced so you could lift and see felt easy as they should be a min of 6") and 2 lots of nail pops and shingle wear of an old roof. James took many photos/videos and we discussed several options. An inexpensive roof repair (a crew comes and caulks cracks, nail pops etc), a replacement of just the part of the roof that the leak would come from and a full roof replacement. Later that day I had all three quotes in an email with details roof line diagrams and schematics, detailed cost break down etc. All documents were totally professional and easy to understand. This felt like next level contractor professionalism compared to other companies we have used in the past. He even included a Dropbox link to all the photos and videos he and Donnie captured on their visits. We deiced to not throw money at the "repair" options and just replace the old roof. The crew came on time. The work took 1 and a half days. They cleaned up all debris and moved the planters back to the porch etc. The roof looks awesome and the materials they used were far better than the original roof and... it rained all night last night... no leak so far that ceiling spot stayed dry! Thanks to the TCS team for all the work and help on this. After winter we will be calling them for the gutter replacement. I highly recommend TCS to everyone."

"I called Mr. Worley on Friday, June 16, 2014 and asked him if he could give me a guesstimate on installing 3 overhead lights in the apartment I share with my 96 year old mother and my 40 year old daughter.  He gave me a quote which was a little higher than I was prepared to pay at that time. I called him back within 30 minutes and asked him if he could install 2 of them for the given price. He told me he was headed my direction anyway and would be glad to stop by and do the 2 for me. He arrived at the quoted time and installed all 3 lights for me at the cost of 2 because he met my mom. He stated that it would come back to him by paying it forward. He was nice, kind and very professional. I would recommend him to everyone.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Franklin, TN

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.
