"They replaced my bathtub, installed a new vanity, put in new lights and painted a wall cabinet. Not only were they punctual, but very polite and reasonable. I highly recommend them and will use them in the future."

"We were extremely happy with the work performed by H&M. Moises, Hector and crew were courteous and did whatever needed to please us. They did most of the renovation in our condo......painting, installation of bathroom cabinets, sink, installed tile floor, etc. They also installed vinyl flooring in our kitchen, living and dining rooms. They had a plumber replace our heating baseboard, I would highly recommend H&M if you want excellent work done!!"

"I took a chance and hired Mr. Handyman to fix my storm door. Kevin removed the door, worked his magic and reinstalled the door, and now it closes properly. I asked him if he did electrical work I needed a pagoda fixture that was in the ground near my driveway moved in about 3 feet. He dug a trench and installed the new pagoda fixture. I needed some wooden spindles from my deck reinstalled. He not only reinstalled them but reinforced all the spindles and also the railing. He was here for 5 hours. This is a great company...they sent an email with a picture of Kevin with his bio.A little pricy, they charge by the hour, but everything that needed fixing was fixed."

"I had my attic stairs replaced by Joe, and I couldn't be happier with the results. He was professional, communicative, and knowledgeable. The work was completed efficiently, he took the time to answer my questions and made sure everything was clean before he left."

"John and his team did an excellent job on our deck! We had our old deck torn down and a Trex composite deck built on the existing frame. The deck is seamless and perfect and 100% better than our old deck! John and his team had it built in 2 days and their price was more than reasonable. Some other companies out there quoted me OVER double (The Deck Guy, Decks Unique, etc.) The owners of these OTHER companies pride themselves on 30+ years in business but when you ask them if they will personally be building your deck or even on site for the build, they canâ t give you a straight answer because theyâ re so â busy.â Skip over those other companies and hire John and his team because he will personally be working on your deck and overseeing everything his team does as well! I honestly couldnâ t be happier and I am recommending him to all my friends and family!"

"I could not have been happier working with Jimmy on our project. He arrived on time on day 1, always responded when we had questions via email or phone. Jimmy also had a terrific crew to assist with the job. Jimmy and his crew were very neat and always left for the day after a thorough cleanup. I will be using him on all future projects we have planed for our house. So glad we met and used Jimmy for the project. Highly, highly, highly recommend."

"Extremely happy I went with American Flooring for this project. Darrell went above and beyond, the final outcome was top notch. Price was way under the other estimates I received. I highly recommend if you are looking to refinish floors. Definitely calling him again for other rooms in my house."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Islip, NY

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.
