"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"After a couple of serious issues with two different contractors we found Dale Turnmire. He was able to correct what they had done and deliver a beautiful porch and composite deck. He did not require any money upfront. He has a good crew and they work quick and efficiently. All promises were kept and I just wish we had them from the beginning, You will not make a mistake hiring them. A lot of bad people out there ready to take your money."

"Albert came out and gave me quote, and seemed very courteous, but said I was outside his normal service area of the city of Charlotte. He agreed to do the work in two weeks, and said he would call to confirm. he never called or showed. I called back the following week, and again he scheduled a day to come out. He never called or showed. I had to request refund today because it has been 30 days since I purchased it."

"OUTSTANDING...FROM START TO FINISH! I contacted Fireplace and Granite Distributors based on a friend's recommendation, after seeing the granite countertops they had installed for him. We primarily worked with Tracy. She came by our home and measured for the countertops, then provided us with quotes for several options. She was very patient with us as we worked through the process. This part of our kitchen remodel was just under $11,000.00, so we took our time to be sure of our decisions. Everyone we worked with was awesome. The countertop installation crew, as well as the backsplash installation crew were great. They knew what they were doing and paid attention to detail. We couldn't be happier with our experience with Fireplace and Granite Distributors and look forward to working with them again when we remodel our remaining bathrooms."

"Asa Stanford did a detached garage with a room above. Their work exceeded our expectations. They always let us know when they were showing, always actually did show up, and treated the project like the house was theirs. Blake and Mark were very easy to work with. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and skilled general contractor. Will be using them again for my projects in the future."

"Our is 2.5 storey and steep roof. Owner visited and without getting on roof told me that you need to replace 2 flashings. The house is 9 years old and according to him ( I am not sure) it is better to replace flashing after 10-12 years any way. I think flashing should have same about 30 years life of roof. However, I accepted the recommendation as cost was $150. Also, I don't think they inspected or did anything on other side of the roof. He sent Brian in the following week to carry out work. Brian is really hardworking honest guy. He spent about 4 hours on roof to replace flashing and nail down singhles on one side of roof. I was not happy since they didn't even look at other side of roof. Since my $200 +79 was worth their effort of 4 hours I am OK with the service provided. However, I felt that they are giving this deal to generate more business. and chnging of flushing was not necessary. Anyway I was happy with Brian and hence I am giving A other wise I would have given B."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Lincolnton, NC

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.
