"Excellent, no problems. My car was new the first year I used the service and there has never been any damage during the transports. The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

"Now that I’ve sold my house and moved out of the area I can give my review without accusations of bias, one way or the other, or trying to gain any financial benefit. Earl and I had a business (and a War Eagle!) relationship for over 15 years to my nearly complete satisfaction. The work performed by Earl’s company and his contractors was almost always excellent but on those rare occasions when their first effort didn’t meet my very demanding standards, there was never any complaint or argument from Earl, only the question “What do I need to do to make it right?” This even if they had to return more than once to make good the issue nor with any additional request for payment - the original estimate was the guaranteed contract until I was satisfied with the work. My opinion covers the wide variety of work Fisher Remodelers performed for me over that decade and a half, everything from back yard deck repairs to painting the house to repairing the water ingress damage in the home office to repairing the elusive roof leak at the chimney to replacing every window in the house (save one) to repairing the under sink cabinet water damage in the kitchen and the guest bathroom to the yearly inspection and repair as needed of the exterior wood trim, everything down even to the small matter of retrieving a flashlight I’d clumsily dropped between the wall studs while working in the attic. Earl always did me right and he’ll do the same for you."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Montgomery, AL

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.
