"They did a great job. Needed handicap railings going down to my basement. They gave me everything I wanted. Now I can get down there safely and more importantly get back upstairs. Thanks Kurtis."

"Bob is so easy to work with. He quickly gave a reasonable quote and came to install my new ducted range hood within a week and completed the job in couple of hours. He and his brother were just pros. It’s also very convenient that you can pay him with a credit card. I highly recommend Bob for your home projects. I’ll definitely keep him mind for my future home projects."

"Ari has gone above and beyond making my upstairs bathroom into my dream bathroom! My bathroom before was a small narrow half bath that he made into a beautiful bathroom with a new shower and built in shelves! He is a hard worker and easy to work with in every way! I highly recommend him for any job. He also installed my living room bay window and did it in a day and a half. Can’t say enough good things about this company! Hire him!"

"I had an outstanding experience with Real Painting and could not be happier with the results. The painting looks fabulous, and the service was of the highest quality. I received quotes from four painters, and Carlos compared very favorably in both price and expertise. Carlos accommodated every request I had to make adjustments to my project and made himself available whenever I tried to reach him. He was extremely knowledgeable about which paints would work best for walls, cabinets, ceilings, and the moisture levels in each room, as well as ways he might work with me to maximize efficiency while reducing costs. His team was highly professional, courteous, and skilled. They carefully wrapped and taped my furniture and home items in every room, always removed their shoes when in carpeted areas, and took great care to protect my home throughout the process. Carlos was referred to me by my realtor, who has had him paint her properties twice. After seeing the excellent work he and his t"

"Great experience working with Jared and Marllon at Right Angle Carpentry. They responded promptly to my Angi request, setting up time the same day to scope the work. The price was fair we scheduled the work the next week. The showed up on time, work was done in the timeframe indicated and for the price agreed. The guys cleaned their work area as well. Super happy with their work and hope to use them again soon."

"Chris and his team did a great job at transforming our outdoor porch into a three season porch and also removing a load bearing wall to make room in our living room. He was very professional and we are happy with the work completed. The original quote went over after coming across issues that needed to be addressed, but the rates were very low to begin with. We would work with him again for future projects. "

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Hanover, MA

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.
