"We hired Tyler to close in a doorway to make a second bedroom for our daughter. He was extremely professional and his work was exceptional. The job was very clean and he communicated with us every step of the way. We’ve since used him for several light fixture installs and will continue to call on him for all of our renovation needs!"

"Steve with Lakeside Construction was professional and handled all aspects of getting us a new roof installed. From start to finish we were impressed with this company. They handled our new roof replacement including insurance submission with punctuality and professionalism. We can't be happier with all aspects of this company including the office/billing staff and project manager. We would happily recommend Lakeside Construction to anyone in need of a new roof!"

"Excellent. David has a conscience, which places him in a lonely category of builders. He wants to make sure it is done right, and he will communicate. Be patient because good work takes time and understand he does this for a LIVING, not a charity. In other words....be reasonable."

"Juan did a great job! I hired him to do the backsplash in my kitchen and I was very pleased with his work! He has a great attention to detail and wants you to be happy with his work! He is definitely more than just a handyman he’s a craftsman. He also painted the wall and the trim and did a great job. I am definitely planning on using him again in the future. I think you would be pleased with his work and his work ethic!"

"Excellent. Jimmy and his guys are very professional and really care about the quality of the work they do. They repaired nail pops, plaster imperfections similar items before applying two coats of excellent quality paint. In addition to the painting work that was quoted, they also recaulked the ceiling molding in the master bedroom and repainted a wood panel over the fireplace at no additional cost. The only hiccup was with the color consultant that Jimmy recommended. She didn't tell us about or recommend us to buy paint samples which we could try before we committed to a color. As a result, we painted the entire great room and kitchen with a color we had picked from the color wheel only to find out we didn't like it and had to have the entire area repainted which added to time and cost. Other than that, we were very pleased with the job they did. We had used them in our previous home and were very pleased with that job too."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Irmo, SC

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.
