"My husband had cervical spine surgery early in January and was in rehab. Before his return home, we needed grab bars in our showers as well as hand rails along two short flights of stairs. I contacted Mr. Handyman (on a Saturday and holiday weekend), and to my surprise received a call back the same day. Ron explained his services and costs, and scheduled his craftsman Robert to come that Monday to see what was needed. Robert then returned on Wednesday and installed everything by end of day...great work, exactly what we needed and when we needed it. I'm very pleased with the quality of work, responsiveness, punctuality and overall professionalism of both Ron and Robert. The cost was more than I was expecting, but parts were the culprit, which I had underestimated. Rob addressed all my concerns before I paid the invoice. Overall, very happy with Mr. Handyman!"

"I needed alot of work and repairs done in my house. I called and met with Harvey about what I wanted to be done in my home, and two days later, the work was being conducted on my house. The significant items were that I needed new basement steps, and Harvey and his crew rebuilt new the steps and railings. I needed my kitchen refreshed and desperately needed a new kitchen floor. I had the kitchen, dining room, lower and upper hallways, and living room painted. I had my windows corked from the inside, and the outside and some of the windows were also repaired. Harvey and his men were very professional, polite, and extremely hardworking. They showed up every day and on time and worked extremely hard. Harvey offered ideas and suggestions on my home improvements and repair. I was thrilled by the outcome of their work. I would highly recommend them. I plan to use them in the future."

"We partnered with Wilber’s for external painting and repair. This included replacing wood with composite where necessary and removal of wood shutters and replacement with polypropylene ones. What distinguished this company from others was the following: Danny S. was the estimator and initially met with my husband. Just prior to the start of the project, Danny returned with the foreman Olger A. He went through the project again with us and talked to Olger about job specifics. Olger is an amazing foreman, on time, efficient, skilled, detailed and an excellent project manager. Danny returned mid project to discuss the work with us and review a repair with Olger. They also did extra work for us not covered with the additional estimate which was handled very efficiently. Additionally, they did some picky repairs, such as reattaching a leader to the house, which was appreciated. The result was a beautiful house with great curb appeal – the result of good teamwork. We highly recommend them."

"We completely redid our bathroom which included changing the layout, a very complex redo of plumbing lines, new concrete bathroom floor and installation of everything new and shiny. Dave was able to turn around this scary project into a wonderfully crafted beautiful looking bathroom. He is a very super detail oriented passionate artist. The project also included demo and installation of new tiles for the passage outside the bathroom and a new sliding barn door. Unlike other contractors, we had complete freedom in selecting the materials. Dave helped us throughout this tedious process via video calls and texts. Dave also had brilliant ideas and always gave us varying cost effective options for even the tiniest details. He was very transparent and patient with us. Thanks Dave and modern home improvements for this wonderful experience."

"We recently replaced the wood floors in our home and were looking to replace two existing staircase railings. We contacted several local contractors including Wood Stairs 4U. When Rod came to the house he was able to quickly understand what we wanted to do and made a few excellent recommendations based on the look of our house and our desire for a traditional look. Within a few days we had a competitive quote. I tend to do a fair amount of research about home projects and had several questions which Rod answered quickly and completely. When it was time to do the install, Rod told us it would take 4-5 days including applying a custom stain. He showed up on time and worked non-stop each of the days he was here. A few times, the shape of our staircase presented a challenge. In each case, Rod presented the options and made a recommendation. In the one case where I was not able to make a choice, he created a model using the old railings so that I could visualize the option. This took about an hour and Rod did it without any complaints. One of the reasons that we hired Rod was his ability to match the color of the new floor. We were not disappointed. The railings are beautiful and we are very happy. Would we recommend Rod? Absolutely! We have had several guests ask who we used for the railings. We did not hesitate to recommend Wood Stairs 4U."

"They replaced a drop-down attic stair. The work was done well and cleanly. Some slight damage to a wall was repaired the next day even though it meant the job foreman waiting in his truck in my driveway for a couple hours while the spackle dried."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in New Providence, NJ

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.
