"I highly recommend Henryâ s Home Improvement for any of your home remodeling projects. Jim, the owner, and his crew were courteous, honest, trustworthy, and did a fabulous job. They provided a fair price and consulted me on each step of the remodel. In addition, they were respectful of my property and cleaned up each day. I attempted to remodel my bathroom by myself with disastrous results. Thatâ s when my family took me aside and said, â Hire someone Momâ . Not knowing who to call, I logged into Home Advisors and completed my request. Although I had several responses and a couple of estimates, I felt comfortable with Jim Henry. He understood my â visionâ and it didnâ t hurt that he presented a fair price for the work. After the remodel was done, I told Jim that he â made my vision come to lifeâ . My family and I are so pleased with the bathroom we are hiring Henryâ s Home Improvement for other repair jobs around my house."

"I really could not have asked for better administrative and management service. The actual work and the carpenter himself was equally as great. The carpenter was creative in delivering a great product. I would like to assume that some carpenter would have charged a bit less, but it would not have been worth the savings to either get inferior service, a headache, or a questionable product."

My name is Gabriel Taylor. I attended Colombia College with a Bachelor of Arts. Upon graduation, i entered the advertising world fabricating models and props for t.v. and print ads. My knowledge of tools expanded greatly. Having always been handy, this fine tuning of shop skills led me to realize that there's much more job availability in home repair/ remodeling/ etc. Now, with 25 years of experience under my thumb, there is little that i haven't come across in the world of trade work. From electrical, carpentry, plumbing, painting, locksmithing, tile, etc., i always deliver quality results with a strong artistic awareness and touch. Caring for the customers wants and needs is primary. I believe in giving them exactly what i would want in a skilled worker in my home. Kindness, honesty, cleanliness, reliability, and quality results.

"After purchasing an Angie's List Deal, I received the measuring kit in the mail promptly. The template and instructions provided to draw my split table top and each of the leaves were easy to use and understand. I mailed the completed materials and received the table pads very quickly. The table splits in the middle to allow insertion of up to 3 additional leaves. The table also has 2 drop leaves. That's 7 pads. All fit perfectly. I have used them on the table for family parties (not every day) and they're durable and built to last. I keep them in the box they arrived in to protect them when not in use. These are a worthwhile investment."

"I hired Morris to fix and finish the work I hired another contractor to do, who did it so poorly, I wouldn’t allow him back into my house to fix things. Morris responded right away to my inquiry and arrived on time to review the requirements and gave me a quote. He returned a few days later and finished the job in two days. The major work required creating a curved baseboard and installing shoe molding in my foyer and fixing a cracked oak threshold in the Laundry room. He was absolutely meticulous, did things the right way, created beautiful corners with perfect cuts. He was polite and cleaned up throughout the day. The area was left spotless when he was done. If you need a good worker, I highly recommend Morris and will definitely use him in the future."

"I hired All Pro to rescreen a large screened in porch. They did an amazing job. They put up all new screens and reframed the windows so they look like new. Super friendly and nice. Very reasonably priced. I will use them again!"

"As our house was in desperate need of a paint uplift, I went to Angie’s List and saw Heniff Painting and Remodeling was at the top of the list for exterior painting in our area. I requested his service and Mr. Timothy Heniff responded the same day. He came out the next day, told us what he could do and gave us a reasonable price! After looking at a few other companies, we decided that Tim would be the best choice for a number of reasons – he had numerous fantastic reviews on Angie’s List, a great personality and his price was fair. He gave us a starting date, showed up and began work as promised. We have a huge house constructed of white brick with a white brick chimney, white siding and many windows. He power washed the whole house and the white brick looked brand new. He took his time in painting the house white, one side at a time, which included painting the windows, door trimming and exterior surfaces of two doors in the contrasting color. Finally, he replaced two wood floorboards on the deck and then painted it in the matching contrast color. As the contrast color looked so pretty, we asked him to paint the flower planters in the same color which he did for a small extra charge. Tim is such a good professional painter that you can tell he takes pride in his work and I must add that there were no paint drippings or splatters any where around or on the house! We just want to say that Tim did an awesome job on our house and deck! Our neighbors are constantly commenting on how beautiful our home is now. You can be assured that any future paint jobs we may have will be assigned to Heniff Painting and Remodeling! If he has other jobs ahead of our request, we will just wait. His service is worth waiting for!!!!!!!!! We are totally pleased with his work!!!!!!!!!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Gary, IN

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.
