"Was extremely satisfied with this service. Rick was very knowledgeable and professional. His crew, Sean and Nick, were very friendly and went out of their way to make sure the job got done correctly. I mostly worked with Sean on multiple projects including, replacing kitchen sink, replacing bath faucet, various plumbing issues that existed in 50 year old house that had not been maintained, dry wall repair, interior painting, wall paper removal, cabinet removal and anything else that came up in relation to this work. I will definitely use this service again for future projects. Sean has a lot of experience in many different areas and seems to truly enjoy his work. Again, very satisfied and confident with the work done. "

"Everything MAE Contracting told about what was going to happen when building a ground deck, didn't. He was very untruthful, had no license at the time, did not get a permit, broke almost every state building code and laws, delivered a whole lot of damaged composite without our knowledge, then tried to hide the fact. The worst part was Colin Peterson from Home Depot made a deal with my husband and I to receive $4,000 back for the damaged materials, which we still have, and Michael Garcia put our money in his pocket and laughed. This is according to his contractor, Craig, who he also cheated out of his last paycheck. Come on Angi you can do way better. People are on to the false high reviews. Why don't you post an honest review for a change and stop removing the negative posts."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Hartland, WI

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.
