"One New Creation did extensive termite repair on my house, essentially replacing one full corner of my living room, top to bottom and inside and out, as well as most of the overhang of my front porch and a portion of the corner on the other side in my front office. Two other contractors and a roofer had said they repaired the damage previously, but I could tell it was still an issue. So I called One New Creation. Mario and his crew were able to start the work within a month, and it took a little over three weeks to complete. He gave me the best cost estimate he was able to, and we spoke near daily about the conditions he was finding and what he thought could be done to repair it, as well as discussing what was within budget to complete. He frequently took up-close photos and then took the time to explain to me what needed to be repaired. The crew arrived on time every day and cleaned up the site every day. I highly recommend One New Creation. They are affordable and communicative."

"Working with Mike was a great experience. He and his team repaired termite damage to half my home. From start to finish, he was very responsive, making a very stressful home repair much easier than I anticipated. The team worked quickly and ended up finishing the job quicker than the original timeline proposal, which was a huge plus, and photo updates of the house were sent to me daily. The final finishing touch was a cleaning service that came through to help get my house truly back to it's original state!"

"Hired Mr Handyman of Covington to install new cabinets for a utility room. We reached out to 3 different companies with Mr. Handyman being the most responsive to include the quote and the timeline of the project. Very pleased with the how the cabinets turned out. We highly recommend Stephen and his team at Handyman of Covington. "

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Metairie, LA

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.
