"Robert and his crew at RJ Contract did a fantastic job refurbishing my 30 year old deck. Very professional, great craftmanship, top notch communication - I couldn't be happier. Deck is essentially brand new with new composite decking and vinyl railing. I highly recommend anyone needing a new deck or a restoration to give RJ a call. You won't be disappointed."

"arrived 'on time', especially careful to clean up every day, some new cabinet doors were damaged in shipment, these were promptly reordered and installed about 10 days later.  All work was excellent, workers were professional and did excellent work."

"AMS were professional and easy to work with and did a good job on our new bathroom.
Only one hiccup during the job: They damaged the baseboard heater and it had to be replaced.  They did charge me for the replacement unit itself, but not for the installation.

"This was our first major interior home remodeling project (we did an entire teardown and rebuild of our kitchen, and while these things are never easy, we were pleased with the work that Black & White Kitchen did. Manuel and his crew worked very hard timely and quality completion of the work, and our site manager Apolo stopped by regularly to make sure everything was running smoothly. The workers showed up more or less on time, when expected. If any changes needed to be made, or we needed clarification on something, our office contacts Gerson and MItsy were quick to respond to our inquiries. When our appliances we bought were not working properly, they did their best to troubleshoot. I greatly appreciate that they never left us hanging during the project, which was something I was very nervous about. The team completed the project in about 4 weeks, which was a bit delayed due to everything being on backorder due to COVID, but more or less within the estimated time frame."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in New Market, MD

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.
