"Working with Artistic Fence was a great experience.  We needed a fence that could contain a dog that can climb chain link, but didn't want a privacy fence to cut us off from our neighbors.  Amy from Artistic Fence came and looked over our property, talked about our options for our fence, and wrote out a bid right there.  She answered all my questions, and was very helpful and professional.  Their bid came in on the low end of the quotes we got.  Their building timeline was reasonable, even though it was the busy season for new fences, and the folks that came to build the fence where prompt, and impressively efficient.  The fence is exactly what we hoped for, and is beautifully done.  We couldn't be happier with it.  
I really recommend Artistic Fence.

Update: A few months after the fence was installed, a few of the wooden caps that cover the fence posts began to split, assumedly because of water.  I called them, they sent someone out, and replaced the broken parts free of charge under the warranty."

"Difficult job - in hind-sight, both doors should have been replaced. Original bid was for replacement of one of the doors and repair of the other.  The repairman decided to attempt repair of both doors.

"I found him hard to work with (e.g. doesn't listen, pushy about doing it his way.) I was really hesitant after the estimate but he just kept pushing about it and I didn't have any other options - but I was sorry afterwards. I don't really like it, the quality doesn't seem great - but most important, it's not level. Drives me crazy and looks bad - just three panels and it's not level! Makes me nuts looking at it - feels like I threw my money away."

"We needed to replace the siding on our home, had four companies come to our house (three of which were initially found through Angi), and are glad that we used Hoffman Weber to do the job. Their sales associate (Al Lien) was knowledgeable and helpful, but no pressure, which I personally appreciate very much. They had a range of options, and in the end we chose to use HardiPlank which was less expensive than LP at the time of our project. The Hoffman Weber price was very competitive (and significantly lower than the high-pressure company that came out). The installation went well--the crew was hard working and pleasant, and communication with the project manager (Pete) was easy (the installation was done in February, so, weather affected the days of installation). The finished project looks great."

"Within about a week of ordering it, a package arrived with outline paper. Essentially our job was to outline half the table and the two leafs (we were pleasantly surprised these could be added for a relatively modest amount - I think $12) In addition, they asked for the table company and any serial or model number. About two or three weeks later, right as promised, the package arrived. Our measurements were accurate as the pads fit perfectly. The quality is great. Now the pads are on the table, which looks great, and will be covered by a table cloth with we have formal dinners."

"I am currently in the process of buying my first home and JJ Inspection Service made the process extremely simple. I needed the inspection done within a very short time frame (shorter than the standard ten day inspection period). Justin was able to get me a slot within my window despite already being busy and did a great job. He invited me to tag along on the inspection (not just come afterwards and get the summary report). I took him up on the invitation and I am glad I did. He walked me through the process of what type of issues he is looking for and why and also recommended ways to correct the problem and provided needed information for maintenance. One area of concern I had in my house is the skylight in the kitchen. I had noticed before that it looked like it had water spots on the decorative wood paneling around it. He did tell me they are notorious for leaking. I got pretty nervous at this point but soon had my anxiety put to rest. Justin used a moisture detector to check the various surfaces of the skylight and quickly determined that the water spots were from a past leak that had already been fixed. He also recommended a furnace cleaning/service because the furnace wasn't quite up to what he would like to see even though it could have been easily overlooked because it wasn't a large issue. Justin also made the report available online through an email link that doesn't expire (very handy) and told me not to hesitate to call with any questions or concerns. Overall Justin was great, very informative and easy to talk to. He made what has already been a great first home-buying experience even better! Thank you Justin!"

"Everything went great! They were able to come out and do an estimate within a week or so. The work was scheduled out a few weeks after that and everything looks great. The workers were courteous and considerate of my property; they walked me thru the process as they were doing it and had me inspect the work before they left."

"This is the 2nd time I hired GCM for a home project. They were great. Any part of the project done by a GCM employee was done well and my home was respected (they left the space cleaner than they found it). Zach was the PM and he was very helpful and communicated with me often. Lissa ordered all of the supplies I selected and quickly answered any questions I had.



As with many home projects, the scope of the project changed after demo had occurred. In this case, the change was due to plumbing code changes and lack of understanding of the existing code, which in my opinion should have been noted at the time of the quote/contact signing (which was done after the code changes were implemented). Since that wasn't the case, the project was delayed and major decisions had to be made during the project, initial fixture purchases I had made had to be returned, and smaller (hard to find) fixtures had to be purchased instead. (If you need to find a 16" sink, let me know! That is the widest I could have due to plumbing code and the size of the room.)



This project included replacing all of the bathroom plumbing (including the most of the main stack), installing waterproof window trim (the window is in the tub/shower), installing a new tile tub/shower surround, new drywall, new door trim, new baseboards, new laminate flooring, painting, and fixture installs (tub, sink/vanity, toilet, cabinets, and accessories).



I highly recommend GCM; however, if your project includes any plumbing work, find out if they plan to use Sufka Plumbing & Water Conditioning Company as their subcontractor. Sufka was the plumbing subcontractor on this project and in addition to not fully understanding the plumbing code noted above, they left a mess every time they were in my home - inside and outside of the house. They were always "sorry" when I complained (which was after every time they were at my house), yet the behavior never changed. Zach from GCM was very responsive and cleaned up after them as best he could. GCM using Sufka as their subcontractor is why this project gets a "B" for the overall rating. All of the other ratings were giving strictly on the work GCM did.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Frontenac, MN

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.
