"I just bought a 40 year old house and the owner of the business and Roy came out on a Saturday morning and went over my entire inspection report with me. I had 3 major jobs: installing vinyl plank flooring in the 3 bedrooms; replacing all of the wood in the atrium and dry walling the garage. They also performed many small tasks such as installing a garage door opener, hanging a light fixture, installing more insulation in the attic, repairing a plumbing leak, caulking, weatherstripping, gutter cleaning and splash block additions, trimming tree limbs back from the roof , installing smoke detectors and insulating outdoor pipes. The workers showed up early (our appointment was for 7 am and they arrived at 6:45 am). At the end of the job, we did another walk through and they had to order a special caulk for the 2 cracks in the granite, so they will be back in 10 days when it arrives. I have already given one of their cards (and my strong recommendation) to my new neighbors, who just moved in yesterday. Now, I feel like my home is brand new."

"Jose brought a team and they began working on replacing the smoke detectors, replacing the diverter and tub stopper - which turned into a trial as the diverter was an old piece and he had to go all over town to find a replacement. He installed electrical GFCI outlets in the kitchen, two baths, one in garage and one outside - and went above and beyond by replacing the receptacle housings as well. He also found a leak behind the tub and repaired it after asking permission. the cost was very reasonable and it would have cost me three times as much with a plumber. I would use Jose again and have recommended him to my realtor and other friends. Great job!"

"Mack and his team are grade A professionals. We are a young family and decided to expand our home to continue to grow in and turn into our forever house. This was a large undertaking and a huge decision we did not take lightly. The scope of the project ended up being the creation of almost a completely new home. You can imagine how many decisions and things that can go wrong on this big of a project. Mack came in at a reasonable price and finished the project on time despite the obstacles we ran into. His attention to detail, quality of work, and timeliness in response surpassed our expectations. Our friends now see our house and want to do the same thing! We've been gladly passing his information along. We highly recommend his team for any of your renovation needs and plan to hire him for any projects in the future!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Kemah, TX

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.
