"They sent about 15 workers and 8 hours later we have a brand roof! They were very professional, covered my flowers and landscaping before doing the job, went through the yard after with a magnet to do all the cleaning up of the left over parts and nails. They were very careful with the job overall and did an amazing job."

"This was our first experience using Elysium to complete both <br /> interior and exterior painting and repair work. Initially we had only <br /> contracted them to do work on the exterior, being satisfied with the level of <br /> detail and the likability of the crew that we worked with, we opted to sign on <br /> for additional work on the interior of our house. <br /> Exterior: Being new homeowners we wanted to make sure that we were being thorough and getting <br /> the most longevity out of the work that we were investing in. The estimator <br /> that Elysium sent out was very knowledgeable and pointed out failures in the <br /> existing paint job as well as several wood repairs that several other <br /> estimators had failed to recognize. <br />   There were areas of rotten wood concealed by paint, the estimator did <br /> what she called a ?pen? test and took her ink pen and was able to push it <br /> through the fascia boards on our chimney with no effort. This happened on <br /> several areas of the house that other contractors had failed to discover or <br /> address in their estimates. With the discovery of so much carpentry work <br /> needed, we did see a significant increase in the estimate in terms of cost, in <br /> order to have the longest lasting and best-finished product possible the wood <br /> needed to be replaced, had we not received an estimate from Elysium we may have <br /> not discovered the rotten wood until after another contractor had cut corners <br /> in order to give us a lower price point to close the sale. The work itself was <br /> done thoroughly, prep to finish. Between the color change, board replacement <br /> and concise prep and finish work that Elysium did on our place, it looks like a <br /> brand new house. <br /> Interior: <br />   Since we were so pleased with the result of the <br /> work being done on our exterior, we had Kevin and his crew complete additional <br /> work on the interior of our home. The tacky wallpaper that had been in our <br /> kitchen when we moved in needed to go. I was going to attempt to remedy its <br /> existence myself; after several hours off attempting to remove the wallpaper <br /> myself I decided to let the professionals handle it.  Underneath the wallpaper the drywall needed to be repaired <br /> in several areas. Elysium was able to smooth out the wall underneath and apply <br /> a fresh coat of paint. They also painted our 2-story foyer and hallways. Elysium completed a lot of work on our house, and it was a <br /> job well done. I would recommend them for any paint project you?ve got! <br />   <br /> <br />"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Millington, MI

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.
