"We have had Phelan Construction do numerous house improvements for us over the years. Most recently it involved wood gutter repair, wood steps, railing, hanging screen doors, soffit and fascia repair, and painting. Previously Bob replaced siding on a large area of our house with new cedar siding. We have always been more than happy with Bob's work ethic, quality of work and overall pleasantness."

Gaby was professional, efficient, and paid great attention to detail. The entire process was smooth, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-quality work!""

"I recently hired Nick and his crew to paint my upstairs guest bedroom with cathedral ceilings and they did an outstanding job. They also installed over 400 square feet of solid Brazilian Cherry Hardwood Flooring and it came out amazing. I would highly recommend Nick and Company and we will be hiring them again when we need more work done, very polite and professional. Thanks so much for a great job done. Thanks again, Kim & Cindy Doubleday Baptist Road Canterbury, NH"

"I had my existing wood cabinets restrained. I did not want them replaced or refaced which most companies want to do and they did exactly what I wanted and in a timely fashion. The workers that performed the work were friendly and professional and my cabinets look great. Thank you Amie, Mike and ,Pedro"

"We recently completed a gut reno and second story addition. After engaging 10 different contractors, MP was the most communicative, interested, flexible and competitively priced. MP has a large in-house team of experts that work efficiently and adapt to the home owner’s needs and preferences. The employees worked 6 days a week and took great pride in their work. They were personally invested in our project and wanted to make it the home of our dreams. The team includes an amazing designer, Nataly, who helped with selecting finishes. The onsite foreman, Adriano, demonstrated expertise and kindness. Seichelle and Marco did an excellent job with operations, ordering materials and problem-solving. We have been back in our home for 10 months. Anytime I have an issue, Seichelle and the team have addressed it. They have gone above and beyond what is expected. We could not be more pleased with our project. We strongly recommend MP for your next project!"

"I was looking to have an in law second floor kitchen done, and had been searching for awhile for a contractor to do the cabinet installation and then I found Jim Longden . I challenge anyone to find a contractor better than Jim Longden. He responded quickly to do an estimate, was professional, personable, and did a great job in a short amount of time for a price that was very affordable. Jim told me he could do it in one day, and it took him one day. He gave me an affordable price, and stuck to that price. He was clean in his workspace, no mess, and was respectful of the existing structure, like the hard wood floor. If you want something done right, for a great price, and in a timely manner, you'd be hard pressed to find someone better than Jim."

"He showed up in the drizzle of light rain. He took down old stairs and replaced with new stairs. He cleaned up after the job and was very professional and was very dedicated. The price was very fair. I would use him again."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Manchester, NH

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.
