Customers say: Quality work

"Jason replaced our existing newell posts and railing with modern posts hand rails and metal horizontal balusters. The end result looks great, just how we wanted! Jason is very detail oriented, takes his time to do the job right and communicates effectively so we knew exactly what to expect. Highly recommend!"

"Our family highly recommends R. Wright Construction and Remodeling. We found the company on HomeAdvisor. We submitted a request for both interior and exterior work on our house, including wood rot, new trim work, lighting, and roof work. Mr. Wright responded to our request within 24 hours, and came out shortly after to do a walk through. We received a very agreeable quote a few days later and scheduled his company to do the work. The workers were efficient, professional, and highly skilled. We absolutely love the end results!Mr. Wright is a very professional and knowledgeable contractor. He is passionate about his work and cares about doing the job right. We put our trust in his advice and were extremely satisfied with the results. You can put your confidence in him because he stands behind his work!Our family has moved a few times over the last few years. We found it very difficult to find a competent, dedicated, and trustworthy contractor. We will look no further. We look forward to working with him on our future projects. You can't go wrong with R. Wright."

"He was fantastic! I hired this company to replace all baseboards and door casings. He did the job perfectly, showed up when he said he would be here, and cleaned up after himself. I would highly recommend this company."

"I had water damage in the ceiling below my upstairs bathroom. Chris did an excellent job, not only repairing the drywall, but matching the texture in my ceiling (no stencil is available for this anymore). He took the time to match and blend, and you would not know this has been replaced. He and his crew were on time, courteous, and his estimate for this repair was very reasonable. I would highly recommend his company, and have already given his number to friends and family."

Hi there! I have about 9 years of experience with home remodeling, house flips, and currently I am focused more on carpentry (custom closets, interior/exterior trim, etc.) and flooring. I am still open to most home repair needs. I am new to Angi, but feel free to check out some photos of my work in the project photos. I am also willing to share more photos. Feel free to email me at JMDhomeservices1@gmail.com or call/text at 3179032308. Thanks!

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Indianapolis, IN

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.
