"Stephen was awesome to work with and his work is outstanding. We are SO happy with our new railings, they make the entire house look brand new. If you need work done in the Grand Haven/Holland area, don't hesitate to go with Northern Lights Construction. I've worked with a lot of contractors and Stephen is top notch. Highly recommend."

"Our main bath room always did have a tub in it. And all of the walls were tiled and while the tub had the spout set up like there was a shower there was no shower. This year we decided it was time to stop running down stairs to take a shower (it gets cold in the basemen in the winter) anyway there was some of the pluming already in place for a shower and there may have been one. So we had Vander Hyde do the work and at this time it looks like they did a good job! It looks nice and seems to work. It cost more because we had the old two handle water   faucet replaced with a single one and there was some added title work done. Like I said it looks very nice. One issue that I will bring up is at first they only sent one person over and he did not seem to have a clue as to what had to be done. And in fact he had to call the boss over and the job ended up needing 3 people to complete and even with the 3 of them it took a good 3 to 4 hours.

"Put in two Dead Bolt locks |Replaced a cabinet door |Put in a new Facet in the kitchen Sink |Replaced a towel rack |Removed and unplugged the upstairs sink...new drain. | |They did excellent work and did so quickly and at a fair price.  One small suggestion:  I would recommend that they take off wet shoes or wear covers on their shoes during the snow season and clean up a little better when the work is done.  I was very impressed with their work and would definitely recommend them (I already have).   I will use them again for future projects."

"Jim is a fantastic option as a go-to person for all home repair jobs. We were in quite a bind to get a rental property up to code with a large number of fixes and Jim came in with affordable pricing and a quick turn around. He's a great communicator and provides you with options depending on the level of affordability you are looking for and how you want things to look. We have the pleasure of having him now work on our new home. He's our first call when things come up! I would highly recommend him to work on your home!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Kent City, MI

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.
