"Rich did a great job replacing the railing in my house. The work was very good. We discussed other projects in the house which he agreed to do the work. He replace the floor in the hallway and there were mistakes made in the work. We agreed to address it later after he did some of the other work we agreed to that he would do. He was paid in full for every job he did. He made multiple promises to return and do some other work. We had dates agreed upon that he would move forward and do additional work . The excuses started and then he never showed up. Did return calls or text messages on his status of returning. The floor was never redone after he was paid and I stated that I would pay him again to do right the second time around. The guy just never showed up again. Rich is a very nice guy and I did like working with him. It was just very disappointing that he stopped showing up and returning my messages. I would recommend him for replacing your stairs but buyer beware of his follow up"

"Allen of Path Hardwood floors was great to deal with. We had a specific window of time before we moved into our new home to get the work done, and Allen was on time and on schedule throughout. The finished results were awesome (he matched the stairs/railings to the darker floors throughout the first floor of the house) and contrary to my expectations given the amount of sanding required, there was almost zero dust/dirt. Thorough cleanup afterwards as well. I would definitely recommend Path Hardwood Floors."

"From the moment we asked Juan to come and give us an estimate, he and his entire crew were nothing but professional, punctual, and did an incredible job.  When we first called him to come give us an estimate, it was later in the day, (5:00ish) but he still answered the phone and came over the next day (Tuesday).  I noticed the courteousness he showed when he took his shoes off until we were ready for the basement, and when he took them off again when we got upstairs from the basement in order to minimize the dust and dirt.  He quoted us a price we felt was fair and asked when they could start, and he told us Thursday of that week!  

He sent two gentleman over, both equally nice and professional in their job.  They finished the initial dry wall installation on Thursday, and the person handling the mudding came the next morning.  He did a great job, got it done in one day but they were unsure whether the final sanding would be Saturday or the next week.  Juan shot me a text message that night that as long as the mud was dry, they would be over the next day, which they were.  Sanding was completed in half a day, and Juan and I went around and he touched up a few areas with mud that had been over sanded.

During the entire job, they laid tarps on the floor between the outside and the basement as well as the stairs to go up to the master bath so to minimize the dirt and debris they left behind.  When they were finished, they cleaned with the dry vac and a damp mop on the floors.  For the price we paid, we are incredibly happy with the quality of the work, how personable Juan is, and the professionalism of the entire crew.  If we ever have any other painting or dry wall projects that need to be completed, they will be our first call for sure.

"Had an old wooden picket fence that was falling apart. Montco Fence replace the wood fence with a white Vinyl picket fence. The guys were terrific, it was a tough job in that part of the fence went through fairly heavy vegetation that required a lot of work to remove the old fence. We are very happy with the work and results. I would recommend and we will use again when it comes time to replace some privacy fencing we have in the next few years."

"Wesley’s prices are competitive and was willing to do a compete service including cleaning the soffit. We have a second story over hang with columns that were chipping and peeling. Wesley talked about the process of power washing, sanding, and painting. Everything went well and looks great. We also have 2 bay windows with over hangs that were white. We had them painted bronze. The finish looked a little more matte than we expected so I called Wesley who was very responsive and he explained that the brand of exterior paint only had satin or a gloss finish. We wanted to try the gloss and he was happy to repaint it. We were happy with the results and would use Wesley again"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Glen Mills, PA

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.
