"I'm so happy with how things look now. I know a great deal of attention was paid to prepping the old walls and tons a bad paint jobs from before ( the house is 100+ years old!) but it was worth the time it took, as the spaces are smooth and quite refreshed."

"We could not have been more pleased with the work the Madden Brothers did to create our new master bath and closet. From beginning to end, the project was a great experience. We were actually sorry to see them go when the job was finished! When has that ever happened with a contractor? George and Brian gave us exactly what we wanted and did so in a professional, yet extremely pleasant manner. We were very appreciative of their knowledge, experience, and attention to detail. They are both perfectionists when it comes to the way things should be done. If that wasn't all, they left the workspace and house clean and vacuumed every single day and I can't tell you how great, and unusual, that was. Even the subs commented on how neat they were! In addition to everything else, their painting skills are truly impressive (I have never seen straighter paint lines along any ceilings!). We couldn't be any happier with the results. I would not hesitate to call the Maddens for any project we have in the future. The photos are before and after. You can guess which is which!"

"Needed assistance with removal of an unstable 50 foot wood fence. Adian reached out to me literally within minutes of my request and I had an estimate within an hour (on a Sunday). The cost was very reasonable. Adian kept me updated on his arrival time and the project was completed with no issues. He was very professional and I will be obtaining a quote from him to replace the fence."

"This the second time I've worked with Jason, He replaced windows on the second floor and installed sofia and fascia on  front and back porch back in 2012. Did a great job and cost me only 10K. So I used him again on a bigger project, new kitchen and downstairs bathroom as well as replace the ceiling in the living room. I did the demo on kitchen and bathroom myself to save some bucks, but he came in laid everything out and how long the project would take. He started on time and as we moved through the construction, I made several changes which he accommodated without issue and gave me a clear price adjustment on the additional services. He brought everything up to code in both bath and kitchen and his plumber and electrician were there on time to keep project on schedule. Start to finish was 4-5 weeks. This was my daughter's house and I plan to use him for my kitchen remodel next year.
Price was great and affordable (22K) and his crew were all great guys.
If your getting quotes, get one from this guy, by far cheaper than most contractors.

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