"The crew was patient and focused on protecting the items I needed moved. They are not in a hurry, which was important to me due to the nature of the furniture being moved (family heirlooms). I would recommend Honesty & Fidelity Transportation."

"Overall very happy with the work. Probably because we began the work in the dead of winter (January), he was able to begin as soon as we hired him. Brad usually gets his workers started in the mornings and then leaves to monitor or bid other jobs, but we were quite pleased and comfortable with Wade, who has been with him for many, many years, and his helper, Jesse. They were courteous and very careful with our belongings. Every afternoon before they left, they put furniture back in place, even when we told them it wasn't necessary. This is important to Brad and is something he stresses.
In the kitchen and bathrooms, we had wallpaper. After examining it, the decision was made to paint over it, rather than butcher the walls trying to remove it. They sealed and sanded all seams, then primed with Kilz before painting. Honestly, if you didn't know there was wallpaper under the paint, you'd never notice. Excellent job.
The cabinet painting was an adventure. My bad, but we didn't decide to paint them until after the walls in those rooms were already painted. They had to take the doors offsite to paint them because they were being sprayed and had to be laid out to dry. This happened during a very wet February, and trying to dry them at our house would have been impossible. That was the only time things were not cleaned up at the end of the day, and that was only because they very carefully closed off the rooms they were working in with plastic and tape.
Great job painting the exterior. And we were more than happy with the job they did on our fence. We had thought we'd have to replace or paint it, but once they pressure washed it and then stained and sealed it, it looks like new. Several neighbors have talked to him about doing the same to theirs.

"We are so thrilled with the job that Pro Building Solutions did for us.  Sam and his crew did an excellent job on both of our patios.  His crew was so professional.  They showed up when he said they would be there, they were neat and cleaned up before they left.  Sam provided us with a detailed invoice of what the cost would be and there were no surprises.  We wanted to get our own materials so Sam provided us a detailed list of everything we needed.  He will provide the material if the client prefers,  Sam was the crew lead when our wood floors where installed a few years ago and he was the first one we thought about when we were ready to do our patios.  We had approx 2500 sq ft of maple wood flooring installed by Sam and is crew and we did not have one single issue with the installation.  We HIGHLY recommend Pro Building!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Guntersville, AL

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.
