"Excellent service, to say the least!  I ordered a 20kW Generac generator from a nationwide distributor and had it shipped directly to my location.  I poured the concrete pad myself, and bolted the generator down.  While somewhat proficient with electrical wiring, I did not trust that I could do this job without issue.  I contacted VanderHyde (they were listed as the primary West Michigan Generac Dealer) and asked if they could do the wiring for me.  Ryan Hyde came out for the quote and spent nearly two hours at my house talking about the transfer switch.  Generac provided a 200 amp switch, but my house was wired for 150.  We agreed that I would give them my 200 amp automatic transfer switch, and they would order a 150 amp switch as a replacement......and I would cover the split cost.....essentially adding $360 on to my bill.  I was fine with that.  Jason did the install on 11-16-2012 and spent 8.5 hours outside.  One trip to Lowes/Home Depot was needed for additional parts to tie into the existing power meter.  A great guy - I asked numerous questions and he explained what he was doing as he worked.  Once done, he came inside and asked if I wanted to be present for the "firing up" up the generator.  Overall the price was a bit high, but I also understand that I did not purchase the generator from them.  I was able to get the generator new for a little over $5000 online, which resulted in a large overall cost savings....so I expected to pay a bit more for the work I did not feel confident in doing myself.  I felt they did an amazing job and I would gladly call them again as needed for additional electrical work.  One a side note, I lost my original installation paperwork in a basement flood two years ago.  I called the company and had a copy of all paperwork in my email inbox in less than five minutes.  NICE!  Please note:  This review will be listed under "water softeners" and I cannot find a way to change it!

"Put in two Dead Bolt locks |Replaced a cabinet door |Put in a new Facet in the kitchen Sink |Replaced a towel rack |Removed and unplugged the upstairs sink...new drain. | |They did excellent work and did so quickly and at a fair price.  One small suggestion:  I would recommend that they take off wet shoes or wear covers on their shoes during the snow season and clean up a little better when the work is done.  I was very impressed with their work and would definitely recommend them (I already have).   I will use them again for future projects."

"I had him for the deck, for my daughter. They had to come back the next year and paint it because it had all come off. I was kind of interested in redoing our deck, but I don't know if I would go with him again."

"Jim is a fantastic option as a go-to person for all home repair jobs. We were in quite a bind to get a rental property up to code with a large number of fixes and Jim came in with affordable pricing and a quick turn around. He's a great communicator and provides you with options depending on the level of affordability you are looking for and how you want things to look. We have the pleasure of having him now work on our new home. He's our first call when things come up! I would highly recommend him to work on your home!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Gowen, MI

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.
