"I am a single woman living alone, and I'm not very handy with tools, so I purchased Eyal's Big Deal to have him move and re-install some wire shelving in my bedroom closet.  HE WAS FANTASTIC!  He accommodated my schedule and arrived punctually on a Sunday morning with all  his own tools.   As soon as I described what I wanted him to do with the closet, he knew exactly what to do, and he even came up with a suggestion on how to increase the hanging space in the closet, which worked beautifully.  He worked quickly and he cleaned up after himself.  He patched the holes, and he even would have vacuumed, except that there was so much time left over from my 3-hour Big Deal that I had him do other small projects.  His motto is,"there's always a solution." He was productive every minute of the three hour time frame, and he made sure that the finished product was perfect.  He said, "if I wouldn't like it in my house, I'm not going to do it that way for you."  We discussed other projects, and he had brilliant ideas on how to build a vanity area in my bedroom on a budget and how to switch the closet door so that it would open out into the room without damaging the door frame (I live in a rental, so that is very important to me).  Besides his work ethic, he was very personable and a pleasure to deal with.  I will definitely be hiring him again soon.

"Davide was outstanding in every regard. He politely advised me that he'd be running a few minutes late, was prepared to do the work when he arrived and took time talking to me about exactly how I wanted the towel rack to look and what my options were. He hung it perfectly, even installing a washer so it wouldn't wobble on the wall. He took the door hinges off and spent quite a bit of time trying to repair them so that the door would close properly. After much effort, he advised me that at least one of the hinges was in disrepair and needed to be replaced. He explained what my husband needed to purchase and how to ensure a proper fit on the door. I am extremely pleased with his work and his pleasant demeanor. I would not hesitate to hire him again, and I highly recommend him to those that need handyman work performed."

"I called Tom due to all the good reviews I read about him and his work here on angie's list. Even after reading the good reviews, Tom and his work absolutely exceeded my expectations! 
When i first called Tom I left him a message. Less than an hour later he returned my call. He told me he could stop by the following day to take a look at what I needed done and he could assess then if it was possible for him to do it the same day or on a different day. He called me promptly the following morning and was in my house 20 min later. He was straightforward about what the job required and the costs once he saw what he was dealing with. Tom left to the store to purchase the supplies he needed to replace half of the door frame and returned shortly after. After he finished the job I couldn't even tell that part of the frame had been replaced. He was very polite and professional and I can truly tell he takes pride in the work he does and what the final product looks like.

"After home re-piping, needed drywall installed. Gabriel Ventura did an excellent job with restoring wall / ceiling areas, and base moldings. He also explained options for ceiling popcorn and wood repair for bathroom vanities. I would highly recommend his services."

"The service I purchased was for two hours of work to replace rotted wood. The price was extremely reasonable and shortly after my purchase I was contacted by Marilyn the owner's wife. She was very nice to deal with and we scheduled the work for later in the week. The workers arrived on time and consisted of Mario (the owner of the company) and Rene (his helper). They went right to work and did an EXCELLENT job. They did a great job cleaning up the work area and the work they did made the wood look like new! I was extremely happy with them and would heartily recommend them. Mario was especially personable and provided great customer service!!! Definitely recommend them for any task (they also paint houses). Thank you SAGa PAINTING..."

"Dieter is very knowledgeable about fixing and repairing things. He quickly fixed a tricky problem with a door that would not close correctly. He came with his assistant and they completed repairs on many small jobs I had with skill and efficiency..He showed up on the day we had agreed too and called me ahead to let me know he was coming. I was very happy with the work and the price and will hire him again."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Margate, FL

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.
