"Crew arrived on time and completed installation of approx 2500 sq ft of new roofing shingle in about 7 hours. Very professional throughout the process from estimate to completion of work and clean-up. Of three estimates received their price was the lowest by a considerable amount. Very pleased and would highly recommend their service."

"I had an excellent experience working with Jose and his team on a number of home improvement / repair projects: sink / vanity installation, toilet installation, faucet installation. He was responsive and respectful throughout the whole process and helped provide me with a number of different options to address various issues that came up along the way. His team was professional on the job and and did excellent work on the project. I’d highly recommend his company for home improvement solutions"

"Jim came to give an estimate for a new roof. His estimate was very reasonable. I accepted the offer and arranged for the work to be done the next week. His crew arrived the following Monday and started the work immediately. They were very professional and did a superb job. The roof replacement was finished the same day and they did an excellent cleanup job. I would definitely hire them again."

"Frank was great to work with and for the most part everything went very well and my wife and I were very happy with the end results.
Things started off slightly bumpy because, unfortunately, Frank got sick the week we were supposed to begin the work so we had to push things off for a week. I totally understand that stuff like this happens so we just rolled with it. It was not such a huge deal except we had to coordinate with our dog sitter to shift things by a week. I think Frank gave us a little bit of a discount though because of the inconvenience so no harm done.
The first few days started with demoing our old bathroom entirely and building out the space into what was previously a small alcove in between our old bathroom and walk-in closet. We felt like it was wasted space that could be better used by the bathroom. This process was done very quick and professionally by Franks team headed by his foreman Renzo. We felt very comfortable working with his team because they were always very friendly and helped us to solve a few minor issues here and there (e.g. where to put light switches and electrical outlets)
Once the frame for the new bathroom was completed, they started to install the shower and lay down tile. Frank was nice enough to let us use some tile we had already purchased from Costco for the shower walls and bathroom floor. We picked out some other tile from the tile shop for the shower floor and decorative lining on the shower walls that Frank procured for us. All of this went very well and once the tile was in we were already immediately happy to see how nice it looked.
We had also pre-purchased a vanity from Costco as well that had a huge crack in the marble top that Frank pointed out to us when we un-boxed it. Frank was nice enough to delay until we could get a replacement delivered to us which took about two weeks.
While waiting on the new vanity, Frank's team started on replacing the entire upstairs carpeting. We had this really old 1980's baby blue color carpet that was pretty horrible and wearing down. We chose a very nice modern charcoal color instead. Frank had a different team of guys to do the carpet work and they were equally as nice. They were very careful when dismantling and moving any furniture in order to strip out and replace the carpet in each room. I was concerned with the furniture being moved and possibly damaged so Frank was nice enough to schedule the work on a Saturday and Sunday so I could be there to supervise and make sure everything went smoothly. As I said though, his men were very nice and seemed to know what they were doing so it wasn't really a problem. The carpet ended up looking and feeling great. 
Once the fixed vanity came in, Franks team did a very good job being careful getting it up the stairs even though it barely fit and was very heavy. I was very worried about it getting damaged going upstairs and his team were experts getting it safely into the new bathroom. The only complaint I had with the vanity installation was that the floor ended up not being level and therefore the vanity was also not 100% leveled. It was only slightly off though so it wasn't too much of a bother. The only way you can really tell is by looking at the vanity mirrors on the wall above it that are perfectly leveled. Regardless, the overall bathroom looked fantastic and we are very happy with it. 
I will attach pictures of the before and after of everything so you can see what a good job they did.
I would overall recommend Frank because he was very knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with.

"I am a senior with a background in construction.  After reviewing many contractors and speaking with some of them, I immediately knew I hit the jackpot when I spoke to Danny.
 
1.  He knew exactly what I needed and wanted done when I first spoke to him.  This entailed the replacement, repair, and installation of the items listed above with attention to quality in materials, prevention of future problems, a fair price, and a commitment to starting and showing up once the job was initiated.  Danny exceeded every expectation in these regards!
2.  I silently knew in advance manufacturers, quality and cost of exterior doors (including the french door), storm doors, door locks and deadbolts, leak-proof door sills for 6 inch exterior walls and a leak-proof barrier on the bottom of the door frames.  Without knowing of my preferences, Danny suggested the identical manufacturers and materials I had in mind.  At this juncture, we met and I hired Danny to perform the work.
3.  I am beyond pleased with the outcome of Danny's effort on this project.  As an example of his integrity, he asked me to trust him in the design and installation of an exterior octagonal window in a bathroom.  My wife and I were literally blown away with a handcrafted symmetrical waterproof tunnel and inside wall frame he created - more akin to an artistic piece than a window.
4. Inside work was always minimally invasive using tarps and soft shoes rather than work boots.  Outside and inside cleanup at the end of each work day was respectfully performed leaving no mess.
I would recommend Danny to anyone requiring any kind of interior or exterior installation, modification, or repair as I have seen firsthand examples of his experience, skills, and personal and business ethics.  In fact, Danny is presently working on costs to replace our roof."

"We previously used Ruxton for our bathroom remodel a few years ago and they did a wonderful job. We recently called them back to help us with improving our kitchen. We weren't sure if we wanted a complete remodel or just a refresh. Frank came in and gave us some great ideas and made it worth going with a complete remodel and design. He spent a few days doing the design and we met with him at his new showroom. As in the past, he did not disappoint. His design and ideas for our kitchen were great! My kitchen looks amazing! The work was completed on time and at the budget we were aiming for. The workers were on time and very polite. We would definitely recommend Frank and Ruxton to anyone interested in a new kitchen or bathroom. Thank you for another great job Frank!"

"Mr. Timothy showed up with his team and got right to work. His is a family business, his father taught him, and you get that old-fashioned small private business treatment complete with affordable price. Special mention goes out to Steve who paid great attention to detail, getting everything just right, was extremely knowledgeable and generous in sharing what he knew (gave me step-by-step instructions on how to stain and paint the railings, a project I’m determined to do myself). We are so thrilled with both stairway and basement drywall and can't stop admiring them. Thank you so much, Mr. Timothy and crew! With confidence I highly recommend you and your team for all home repair and improvement!"

"The job turned out to be a two day job, which we knew in advance and planned accordingly. Had to totally tear out the old tub and surrounding walls. Did run into some minor problems due to being an older house.John did everything he said he was going to do, even more. John was very conscientious in doing the work. He truly does do the work as if it was his own home, even brought the plumbing up to code. Answered any all questions I had with no problems. Will definitely hire them again. Should have done this sooner we are very pleased with everything. Great Job!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Havre De Grace, MD

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.
