"Rich did a great job replacing the railing in my house. The work was very good. We discussed other projects in the house which he agreed to do the work. He replace the floor in the hallway and there were mistakes made in the work. We agreed to address it later after he did some of the other work we agreed to that he would do. He was paid in full for every job he did. He made multiple promises to return and do some other work. We had dates agreed upon that he would move forward and do additional work . The excuses started and then he never showed up. Did return calls or text messages on his status of returning. The floor was never redone after he was paid and I stated that I would pay him again to do right the second time around. The guy just never showed up again. Rich is a very nice guy and I did like working with him. It was just very disappointing that he stopped showing up and returning my messages. I would recommend him for replacing your stairs but buyer beware of his follow up"

"Very well. The salesman was very professional; not pushy and didn't sell his company by putting other companies down. The installer was on time, courteous, professional and completed the work neatly and quickly."

"Had an old wooden picket fence that was falling apart. Montco Fence replace the wood fence with a white Vinyl picket fence. The guys were terrific, it was a tough job in that part of the fence went through fairly heavy vegetation that required a lot of work to remove the old fence. We are very happy with the work and results. I would recommend and we will use again when it comes time to replace some privacy fencing we have in the next few years."

"Desmond and his team were very professional, prompt, and easy to work with. My husband and I have had numerous workmen in our home over the years and they were by far the best. I came home every night to a house where I could immediately start dinner without having to clean up after workmen. They were very mindful of my 88 year old mother who lives with us, making sure she was not inconvenienced."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Kennett Square, PA

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.
