Regardless of the size of the job, we have a craftsman that can tackle it. Our services in the Louisville area include, but are not limited to: Electrical, Aging in Place, Remodeling, Carpentry, Deck Services, Drywall, Electrical, Fencing, Flooring, Maintenance and much more.

"The wrong size was ordered so the installer could not install it. They reordered a new gate, and the installer came back again and put up the post only to find out he did not have the brackets he needed. He left saying he was going to get the brackets and would be back and never came back that day. I called the customer service line and spoke to Anna and Mary several times to find out what was going on, they would always say they would find out and call me back and would never do so. On Thursday May 16th I called again because I never heard from any of them and spoke to Anna who said he would be at my house on Sunday May 19th at 9am to finally finish the project. I received a text and an email from Handyman Connection saying that Stephen was on his way to my house and the expected arrival was 30 minutes. He never arrived so I called at 11:49 am and left a voicemail asking for someone to call me back and let me know what was going on and never heard anything so I called again at 4:45 pm and left another voicemail. Monday morning 05/20 I called the customer service line again about 11:00 am and was told by Mary that she would have to get with Anna to find out what happened and would call me back, I waited several hours and never heard anything again so I called back and Spoke to Anna asking why no one has ever called me and to let me know what was going on and she said Mary had to leave for an emergency and she hadn't had time to contact me. I told her how frustrated I was that no one has ever called me back and that I needed to know when this work would be finished and I wanted to speak to Kori, the owner who gave me the estimate and she said he wasn't there, and she would have him call me. I asked if he would really call me because they never do return my calls and she hung up on me. I then called another customer service number I found on google search at 2:12 pm and asked the girl who answered the phone if I could speak to Kori, and she said he wasn't there. I then asked if I could have his number so I could find out when the work would be done because I have a dog and have struggled for 5 weeks to keep her in my yard while waiting on this company to complete their job. She told me she could not give me his number and that she would have him contact me. I then asked her when I could expect a call back and if the turnaround time was 24 to 48 hours or what to expect and she said she had no idea and that the weather has put them very far behind. Today is 05/21 12:00 pm and I still have heard nothing from the company or the owner on resolving this issue. It has been such a struggle trying to communicate with them and I have always had to reach out to them. Sunday when I sat and waited on Stephen after getting a notification he would be arriving in 30 minutes, and he never showed up was my last straw. I think it was very disrespectful to me as a customer that the customer service, installer or owner could not call me to notify me that he was not coming, and I still have not heard anything."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Louisville, KY

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.
