"I needed alot of work and repairs done in my house. I called and met with Harvey about what I wanted to be done in my home, and two days later, the work was being conducted on my house. The significant items were that I needed new basement steps, and Harvey and his crew rebuilt new the steps and railings. I needed my kitchen refreshed and desperately needed a new kitchen floor. I had the kitchen, dining room, lower and upper hallways, and living room painted. I had my windows corked from the inside, and the outside and some of the windows were also repaired. Harvey and his men were very professional, polite, and extremely hardworking. They showed up every day and on time and worked extremely hard. Harvey offered ideas and suggestions on my home improvements and repair. I was thrilled by the outcome of their work. I would highly recommend them. I plan to use them in the future."

"Luis was fantastic throughout the whole process. From the appointment for an estimate, through providing his license and insurance information and execution of the project, he was always on time, very responsive and communicated the progress of work daily. He was very detailed, always extremely courteous and pleasant to work with. All his work was impeccable, he was able to provide advice when needed and was creative in addressing unforeseen issues (structural problems with the project site). I would definitely hire him for future projects and recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and dependable contractor."

"Great! Ricardo and the team were timely, professional and did great work. We have an older house with some tricky repairs and the crew was able to make the repairs, match the stain and they look great. We paid extra for the "dustless" service - well worth it to keep 99% of the dust out of the existing living spaces - but we still used plastic to seal off the living spaces as an added precaution. Whole job was done in under 3 days."

"Juan came to give an estimate for the work very quickly after initial contact. I received the estimate within 3 days via email and after agreeing to the cost, was scheduled for the work to be done almost immediately. I am very satisfied with the prompt service. The work was done within 5 hours and the house was cleaned prior to the crew leaving. Everything was done with an attention to detail and I only had slight sanding of putty holes where the moldings were nailed to the wall. This was due to the drying time of the putty and was explained to me prior to the crew leaving. Fast, efficient, beautiful work."

"We move into our house last week and are just amazed how great the newly painted walls and ceilings look. We had Derek come to the house to repair cracks in the textured plaster walls and ceilings. He is awesome. The walls and ceilings look amazing. He even installed an awesome backsplash in our kitchen. He is the best hands down. Since we were living out of state he was nice enough to send us some pics during the work.  If your still reading this STOP and pick up the phone call Derek you will not be disappointed. We plan on bringing Derek back later this year for some additional work. Thanks Derek!

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Jackson, 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.
