"Contractor worked with us on details of the contract. Doing what seemed fair to everyone was refreshing. They worked hard at what they did and didn't promise anything they weren't willing to do. I have a high regard for their work ethic. Work was done well."

"Victor came out and gave me a estimate to replace some rotten wood siding and place a metal post for my storm damaged patio cover. I hired him and he started next day. Victor was thorough and detail oriented. Very happy with his work and will keep his # for future and friends in need."

"We have an 80 year old house with pine floors that were hidden under old tile. We tore up the tile and the floor still looked horrible and had a layer of glue and a section that had rotted wood. We decided to go with Delgado Wood Floors and are happy we did. We did one room to see how they would do and if we would hire them again and we definitely will. Mr Delgado and his team are very professional and he listens to the customers needs and is very responsive. They repaired the rotted area and made our floor look amazing."

"Jose brought a team and they began working on replacing the smoke detectors, replacing the diverter and tub stopper - which turned into a trial as the diverter was an old piece and he had to go all over town to find a replacement. He installed electrical GFCI outlets in the kitchen, two baths, one in garage and one outside - and went above and beyond by replacing the receptacle housings as well. He also found a leak behind the tub and repaired it after asking permission. the cost was very reasonable and it would have cost me three times as much with a plumber. I would use Jose again and have recommended him to my realtor and other friends. Great job!"

"Polo and his men did a great job installing a new fence for me! (I will attach a photo if possible.) Three houses in a row all decided to have new fences installed. After getting many bids from multiple contractor, all three homes decided to use different contractors. I decided to use Gamez Contraction. And by far my fence turned out the best! And this is not just me saying that! I really like how when I had an issue, Polo happily took care of it! This is very important in a contractor because things can happen. I highly recommend Gamez Construction and I will use him again!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Galveston, TX

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.
