"It could not have gone better.  Tom Burke is a man of his word.  He is exceptionally knowledgeable about  cast block work and retaining wall construction.  And he is a remarkably good, on-site designer.   Among other welcome design features he suggested is a curved section of the new wall to replace a dog-leg section of the old wall, which markedly improved the aesthetics of the wall.   I would say he and his crew worked like dogs, but I have never seen a dog who was willing to work as hard,  fast and amiably as they did, often putting in 12 hour days.  Tom and Nick, his right-hand man, were meticulous and exacting in their layout, base preparation, alignment and execution.  Andrew, who assisted, tirelessly supplied muscle and supplies to keep the work flowing smoothly.  It was a genuine team effort, the likes of which we have rarely seen.  We had the need for an exact start date, and the whole crew was here on the agreed-upon morning and went to work immediately.  Perhaps the most impressive thing about having them here, beyond the exceptional quality of the finished product, is the way the crew worked together.  They all went about their business very professionally, without commotion, without any shouting and without wasted motion.  Although there were a couple of setbacks because of tree roots, they worked around them, and Tom never suggested a change in price because of the extra work required.  In summary, we were completely satisfied with the price, the execution and the finished product.  We will always use ACT Landscaping for this type of work in the future, and  we recommend that anyone reading this review do the same."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Kellogg, MN

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.
