"Bobby, my Project Manager, coordinated teams for electrical, plumbing, demolition, drywall, tile, flooring, and assembly work. My bathroom remodel was completed with exceptional attention to detail, including updated fixtures, new floor tile, and grab bars. Any concerns I raised were handled quickly and respectfully. The second project involved running electrical wiring to my she-shed and installing new laminated plank flooring in my living and dining rooms. The team found creative solutions that minimized cost and disruption, and the new floors are perfect for my dogs and home office needs. They were professional, punctual, and communicative throughout both projects, consistently providing updates and keeping everything on schedule. I recommend Bobby for any remodeling —his reliability, fair pricing, and workmanship made the entire experience positive."

"Jason replaced our existing newell posts and railing with modern posts hand rails and metal horizontal balusters. The end result looks great, just how we wanted! Jason is very detail oriented, takes his time to do the job right and communicates effectively so we knew exactly what to expect. Highly recommend!"

"Fantastic work! Myles Dover and his associate did a bang up job replacing my treads and risers with new red oak planks. It required careful work, intricate cuts and precision. They did a FIRST RATE JOB! They were professional, ethical and friendly. VERY EASY TOO WORK WITH!!! I have already booked him for two other jobs at my house. USE HIM!!!"

"My family experienced water and wind damage earlier this year. We had to be placed in a hotel. After reaching out to numerous companies, we chose Maynor construction. I am glad we did!! If it wasnâ t for Maynor and his staff, I wouldnâ t have made it. The process was long and depressing because of being away from home. However Maynor and his staff reassured me. They showed patience with me and worked hand and hand with my insurance company with getting my home repaired in a timely manner. Thank you Maynor! I truly feel like we are family!"

"I would recommend R Wright Construction to anyone who is needing any kind of work done. George, the owner, was very hands on with the whole production. His employees were wonderful. Any people he had come in to do wiring, insulation, construction, roofing, etc. were all extremely nice and knew their jobs and did them on time. I had never had anything like this done before, and he made it easy to work with him and I will definitely be calling him back for other projects that I need coming up."

Hi there! I have about 9 years of experience with home remodeling, house flips, and currently I am focused more on carpentry (custom closets, interior/exterior trim, etc.) and flooring. I am still open to most home repair needs. I am new to Angi, but feel free to check out some photos of my work in the project photos. I am also willing to share more photos. Feel free to email me at JMDhomeservices1@gmail.com or call/text at 3179032308. Thanks!

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Lawrence, IN

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.
