"Power Home Remodeling started out by soliciting at my elderly mother's home even though she has a NO SOLICITING sign posted at her front door. They tried to sell her more than $20,000 of unneeded repairs using high pressure sales tactics. She opted for the almost $4,000 OVERPRICED gutters (her home is less than 800 square feet). When we tried to call them to cancel and to share about concerns they do not answer any of their 8 phone lines. Well actually, they do answer one line - the one for free estimates where they can come to your home and use aggressive sales tactics. I sat on the phone on hold all morning and never got through. Power Home Remodeling should be ashamed for being predatory towards senior citizens and using aggressive sales tactics."

"We are very happy we found Marvin. He came over to take measurements for window framing and provided a very reasonable quote along with providing some options. He showed up early, the labor took a few days and his work was executed beautifully. He also noticed that we had a floor transition piece that was loose and offered to fix it complimentary (completely non-related to the labor we hired him for and yet he was kind enough to offer his help!) 10/10 highly recommend Marvin. Please reach out to Marvin if you are looking for professional executed work by an honest, hardworking, and down-to-earth worker. We will definitely be using Marvin again for future house projects!"

Wood stairs and railings installations and replacements FAQs

A standard outdoor handrail installation takes an average of eight hours for a professional to complete a five to 10-foot section. This includes time for proper measurement, securing mounting hardware, and ensuring the railing is level and stable. 

More complex installations involving multiple sections or challenging mounting surfaces may require additional time. Weather conditions can also affect the timeline, particularly for installations requiring concrete work or certain adhesives that need specific temperatures to cure properly.

Aluminum offers the best combination of weather resistance and value for outdoor handrails. Unlike wood, it won't rot, warp, or require regular sealing, and unlike steel or iron, it naturally resists rust without special coatings. Vinyl and composite materials also perform well in various weather conditions, but may not provide the same structural strength as metal options. 

For coastal areas with salt exposure or regions with extreme temperature fluctuations, powder-coated aluminum provides excellent durability with minimal maintenance requirements.

Most localities require building permits for outdoor handrail installations, especially for front entrances or elevated decks. Permit costs range from $20 to $30, though requirements vary significantly by location. Building codes specify requirements for handrail height (36 to 42 inches), spacing between balusters (less than four inches), and load-bearing capacity. 

Checking with your local building department before beginning installation helps ensure your project will meet all safety requirements and avoid potential fines or required modifications later.

Building codes often require handrails for any elevated surface that rises more than 30 inches above ground level. Additionally, many local regulations mandate railings for staircases with multiple steps, particularly in areas accessible to the public. 

Even if your steps don't meet the minimum height requirement for mandatory railings, adding handrails significantly improves safety for all users, especially during inclement weather or at night. A local building inspector or contractor can evaluate your specific situation and advise on both code requirements and safety recommendations.
