"Horrible customer service. I called the installation manager, John Lawless, whose phone number I had after I contracted with Champion for my window replacement project. John informed me that he had not worked for Champion for about 6 months and then he told me where he was working and how they manufacture great quality windows for an affordable price. I wanted to speak with John after receiving multiple postcards from Champion that my windows were already in process and then I got another card that they were 6 to 8 weeks from completion. I was ecstatic because I thought they would take much longer. I called Champion and Jasmine, service support specialist, told me that they were NOT 6 to 8 weeks from completion. I asked who my installation manager was and she told me Lee. I asked for his full name and number and she told me she could not give that information out to me and he would eventually contact me. I asked to speak to a manager and she told me that my installation manager would contact me in 48 hours. I asked to speak to corporate management and she refused. I then asked for the CEO and she told me his name was Todd but refused to give a full name (although google would identify any corporate officer) or email address. I am disgusted with the customer service that I am receiving and the mixed and bungled messaging about my window replacement project. I chose Champion, in part, because of great customer service and I feel blindsided and sold a bunch of bologna. I would NEVER recommend Champion to any of my friends or neighbors based upon this experience. Unhappy customer, Natalie"

"Jose and his wife, Sandra, (J&S) were very kind and easy to work with! They were accurate on their material list (very little waste) and fair in their prices! They brought several workers with them the first today of the drywall install and they worked steadily until all was hung that day. (A full garage ceiling and walls and upstairs garage apartment drywall for certain requested ceiling areas.). After that Jose spent several days with a helper getting all the taping, mudding and sanding done; then finished with priming upstairs as requested and priming and painting downstairs. He made sure we were satisfied in every way at a fair price! Thank you, Jose and Sandra and your crew!"

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.
