"Working with Overstate was the right choice. I had 3 companies coming in and giving me quotes to replace the entire roof , including installing new plywood since it was a cedar shake . Yani walked me through the whole process, we improved the venting which was a good thing and I got a brand new Owens Corning shingle roof . I?ll definitely recommend to friends and neighbours ."

"Marcelo and Henry from GM Carpentry were awesome!! We originally hired him to replace some siding on our house, which then turned into a bigger job of needing to replace some of our roof (it's always something with home ownership...sigh!). But, Marcelo and his team were SO fast, responsive and reliable. Showed up when they said they would and finished the job (including all the extra stuff) in four days. 10000% hire him for anything carpentry and you won't be disappointed!"

"Excellent! We were very nervous prior to meeting Luis, due to some other interactions with different contractors, but once he came he puts our fears to rest. Luis is very respectful of your home and cares about his work. He has a nice eye for design and putting colors together. We are happy with his attention to detail with the tile placement, grout, and caulking too. We love our new kitchen back splash and shower tile. I would recommend him to anyone with confidence looking for a contractor for tile installation."

"I had an excellent experience working with Jose and his team on a number of home improvement / repair projects: sink / vanity installation, toilet installation, faucet installation. He was responsive and respectful throughout the whole process and helped provide me with a number of different options to address various issues that came up along the way. His team was professional on the job and and did excellent work on the project. I’d highly recommend his company for home improvement solutions"

"We had M Craft replace all of the interior doors upstairs and update the baseboard trim as well as install a fire-rated door for our garage. It was not an easy job since our original doors were not level and there were lots of awkward angles. They did a great job and we are very happy with the results. Miro was on time each morning and took care to keep the spaces clean - he even vacuumed up the dust/debris at the end of each day. I would definitely hire again!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in New Fairfield, CT

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.
