"By far one of the top three best decisions we made for this house! They took our 1970’s railing and brought it current. They did meticulous, beautiful work and it has truly changed the entire look of the house. Through every step of the way, the customer service has been outstanding and Nelly is on top of everything! Stairs and rails are truly a master craft and they are masters!"

"Great!! Two different handymen, two different occasions. Both men were professional and friendly. Replacing the interior door took some time, and it was worth it! Dean was meticulous (and went up and down the stairs so many times) to make sure the door fit properly in the frame and opened easily over the carpet (which the previous door never did). Separately our front stoop needed repair - pulling off the existing stone/brick that was deteriorating and replacing it with bluestone. James does beautiful work - he is a master in masonry. Coming out of lockdown and having both men show up with all the necessary PPE put me at ease - they were being very careful and following all the guidelines. I've already scheduled them for more work. Well worth the price!!"

"I highly recommend this company Heartland Village General Contracting Handyman Services of Staten Island, N.Y. Harvey the owner & his excellent team were professional, punctual & attentative to every detail in building my beautiful handicap TREX brown boards & Grey metal railings ramp to my front door. This fantastic company also closed in my screen house for the rain & possibly snow cold winter months with this beautiful design of Plexiglass. His team also completed odd jobs of installing two door bells, replaced damaged tiles in my kitchen & installed tinting sheets on four kitchen windows which I love. Thank you Harvey & your professional team of excellence. Sue M. - Staten Island 9/12/25"

"Ricardo called the next day and he met with me as agreed. His bid was the most fair for a Great room, dining room, 3 bedrooms, 11 stairs, foyer and entertainment room. He also agreed to do the job as requested over a two week period. He helped us move heavy furniture which not many would do. He and his crew were very nice. The floors came out Great! Thanks"

"We contracted twice with Lincambri Painting recently for interior painting in preparation for putting our home on the market. The first time was to paint our kitchen, family room, and stairway/foyer/upper landing combo. A short time later they came out to paint our living room and master bedroom. Each case involved wallpaper removal as well as painting the walls, ceiling and trim. Howard, the owner, was very professional and personable throughout the process, and offered helpful suggestions in terms of finish type and where removal of the old wallpaper made sense in terms of our resale objectives. Quotes for both jobs were complete and provided quickly. On both occasions Howard's team arrived on time and fully prepared. They did a very good job of wall prep and painting, and completed the work expeditiously and without undue disruption for my wife or myself. They cleaned up and replaced the furniture as expected. Both times Howard and his son were present and assisted to make sure our painting needs (color, finish, hole repairs) and furniture movement/protection and replacement were done right. For the second visit, Howard agreed to replace and repaint a section of the stairwell drywall when it became evident after the first paint job that the pre-existing drywall condition resulted in some visible waves. He did that for a nominal additional charge. My wife and I were very happy with the work Lincambri Painting did for us and would definitely recommend them. In fact, we plan to have them back to do some exterior work when the weather warms up a bit."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Highland Park, NJ

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.
