Dunrite Chimney is a Long Island Fireplace & Chimney Company located in Centereach, New York. Dunrite Chimney and Stove has been servicing the Suffolk County area since 2000. Our commitment to excellent customer service and quality service sets us apart from the competition! Fax: (631) 648-3215 Voice Star: (866) 521-5875

"We called Dunrite initially for a cleaning (both oil and wood chimney), which was done very well; during the cleaning we were informed that the liner for the oil chimney needed to be replaced. Additionally, our outside bricks on the chimney were in need of TLC (repointing etc.) We got bids from Dunrite and 2 other vendors, and decided to go with Dunrite (one of the other bids was $1000 more!) It was also nice to be able to pay with a credit card. The guys worked hard and fast in blistering heat without complaining. The office people were terrific too. We were very happy with the work and the price."

Tri-State is the manufacturer and installer of premium quality vinyl windows and patio doors. We do the entire job ourselves, no subcontractor or middleman! Tri-State builds them, installs them and we guarantee them.

"Our 87 unit 3 story coop brick apartment building had 30+ year old windows and terrace doors needing replacement. Aside from judging the quality and design of various window vendors, we wanted the scheduling and installation to be coordinated by the vendor with minimal drain on building management and maintenance personnel. We were impressed with the window design, specs, lifetime warranty and dealing directly with the manufacturer. Scheduling was flexible and installation went smoothly. The installers were efficient, neat (careful, drop cloths, vacuuming) and courteous. The sales and office staff were helpful and easy to deal with. Shareholder feedback has been very positive. Would highly recommend. - Submitted by Coop Board President"

Wood stairs and railings installations and replacements FAQs

On average, replacing a deck railing costs about $925. This includes all the materials and labor needed to install a new porch or deck railing system with a durable finish. For instance, adding a new handrail on your front steps costs around $80 per linear foot. This price ensures your new railing is safe, looks great, and meets building codes.

Balusters and spindles offer structural support to the railing and run from the footing to the handrail. While their names are often used interchangeably, these support posts differ in their footing design. Balusters rest on a step, floor, or deck, while spindles have a footing rail attached to the bottom of the posts.

Choosing the right contractor for stair railing replacement is determined by the project’s complexity. A general contractor provides professional expertise and precision for a design that involves custom curves or intricate details. For straightforward installations, a qualified handyman delivers efficient service. Hiring skilled professionals guarantees that the installation meets all safety and building code requirements while ensuring lasting quality.

If it's still structurally sound, you can update your existing stair railing without removing it. By repairing any damages and then painting or refinishing it, you can give your staircase a fresh new look. This approach saves time and money while ensuring your railing meets all safety and building code requirements.

Reusing your existing stair spindles is a practical option when they’re in good condition. Notifying your contractor in advance is essential to ensure the spindles are preserved during removal. After removal, refinishing the spindles with a fresh coat of paint or stain will match them with your new railing design while maintaining sustainability and a cohesive aesthetic.

Stair railing balusters are mandated to maintain a spacing of no more than four inches apart. This precise measurement prevents a four-inch sphere from passing through and ensures the railing system is secure. Maintaining this gap is essential for structural integrity and safety. Be sure to verify that your installation meets these requirements as specified by local building codes.
