"Wilber's is excellent and went above and beyond what we contracted the company to do. Got three quotes from different vendors and Wilber's had the most competitive pricing. The job manager, Eric, was excellent at communicating about the work and steps needed to complete the job. Wilber's even helped to order the doors that they needed to install from a local vendor they recommended. You could not ask for more in terms of craftsmanship, communication, and consideration. For example, the workers even returned after the job to clean up an inconsiderate bird that treated my newly painted white house like a personal toilet. I would recommend the company to anyone in NJ looking to do work on their home."

"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."

View from entry door. Black free-standing tub and tiled shower. Patterned porcelain tile floor.
View out the window from the claw-foot tub. Deep gray paint on the walls above the wainscoting.

"Gene and his son Ryan remodeled our Master bath. I interviewed many contractors before deciding on Gene and was not disappointed. Gene is the owner and made himself present on the job frequently even though we were not that close to his location. He prides himself on being very responsive to inquiries whenever you have them. He cares about his work and the satisfaction of his customers. This was evident with the way he worked with us during the design and execution. He presented various layouts with suggestions along the way until we were able to finalize our decision. Every job of this type usually runs into a surprise or two. Gene made sure any issues were addressed promptly and to our satisfaction. Another example of how Gene operates is when our new toilet was not flushing properly after first use, he tried to resolve the problem even though it was clearly the toilet and not the way it was installed. Nevertheless, he told me to let him know when the company provided a new toilet so that he can deinstall the old and install the new for us. He did not need to do that. His son Ryan (and Richard I believe) did most of the work. They were both very professional, polite, hard-working, and very clean. There was little to no dust in our bedroom since they made sure to seal the bathroom and utilized a HEPA Filter. They vacuumed every day after their work, never leaving a trace of dirt. He uses top notch contractors for his plumbing, tiling and electric who he has worked with for many years and has a very good relationship with. We are very happy with our bathroom and would definitely recommend Your Way Contractors, and will look to use them for future projects."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in New Vernon, 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.
