"Aaron's Custom Carpentry was great to work with! We love our new stair railing. Part of the railing and spindles were replaced. He worked to solve a problem that we didn't think could be resolved. Would highly recommend! Great attention to detail and communication was excellent."

JD and his crew were fantastic! The estimate was competitive with other bidders and we felt the value of their services was very high. We had extensive wood rot damage around most of the windows in our house. JD and his crew were very detailed and careful as they removed the old windows, repaired the wood rot, and installed the new windows. The locations that were leaking before the window installation are leaking no more. Wood Rot Solutions also repaired rot on the exterior of our house, including trim and siding. Everything was caulked well and it was easy for the painters once they arrive. (Note: painting was not part of Wood Rot Solutions scope.) JD and his crew were very professional. They kept the interior of the house clean and even worked around our child's naptimes. We are VERY happy with our new windows.

"The renovation to my home went wonderful. Travis and his team provide exceptional service and do incredible work. Within two weeks my home was completed with brand new wood flooring, cleaned and looks like a new home. I cannot stress enough how dedicated Travis is to his business and he truly understands his clients and does everything in his power to make their dream a reality. Cannot say enough great things about Travis or his team and have been getting compliments on my floors like crazy."

"Berger's sent out a detailed description of how I was to measure my dining room table and enclosed mailing envelope for its return. Actually, I was expecting someone to come nd measure the table until I realized they were in Indiana! Still, the process went well. Took a bit longer than I thought but I am pleased with the high-quality table pad. Top of pad closely matches the actual grain and color of the oak farm table. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a quality table pad - any size or shape. They can do it all."

"Very well. They are craftsmen. Put up plastic barriers to keep down the dust in the rest of the house. They did a wonderful job. Our new bath looks beautiful. His designer helped me turn my ideas into real world structures. The materials they used and the workmanship of their installation is first class. They are a little more expensive than some but they can do all the things you want them to and do them correctly. We are very pleased with their work.

"1) Kitchen: The cabinets were refaced and new granite countertops, sink,  plumbing fixtures, oven, and microwave were installed.



|2) Master Bathroom - Complete remodeling of the bathroom including a large walk-in shower, ceramic heated tile floor, vanity, and toilet.



|3) Redecorating of the second bathroom, and three bedrooms including painting/wallpapering of walls, custom drapes and blinds, new plumbing fixtures, toilet paper holder, and towel holders/rings.

|Overall, I was very pleased with the job.  All the Cabinet Clad employees and subcontractors were very polite, courteous, and clean and the quality of their work was uniformly excellent. There interactions with me overall were characterized by professionalism and integrity.  There were a few situations where the communication could have been better, particularly when design plans were changed or the subcontractors' schedules needed to be changed.  However, having said that, I would still highly recommend Cabinet Clad of KC.  Their work was first class and I am thoroughly enjoying my upgraded kitchen, remodeled master bathroom, and redecorated bathroom and bedrooms."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Lexington, MO

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.
