"Very pleasant and polite. Careful to not bring in dirt from outside,my yard is dirrt,on my floors. Installed 3 heavy curtain rods from home depot and disposed of the boxes and old rods for me. Also changed out a garbage disposal for me. They figured out the problem with the old one, bad seal at the sink, offered to just fix that to save me $ but I decided to have them change it anyway. Again all cleaned up after and offered to dispose of it for me but I needed the old one for warranty return. Excellent repair work and easy to work with. Kept in touch about arrival time. Would call again if and when I need something else done."

"Alaska Foundation Technologies (AFT) excavated the entire 20" wall down to and including the footing partially with a small excavator but mostly by hand.  The soil removed was relocated to another area on my property.  They removed the crushed Egress Box, the old covering on the exterior wall (Tar Paper which had been Hot Mopped), power washed the All Weather Wood sheeting, installed Bituthain mastic over the sheeting, rebuilt the Egress Box to code and attached it to the foundation walls.  In addition they installed 2" Foam Board to the entire wall (which was not part of their initial design).  They then installed  a  4" perforated drain pipe the length of the 20' wall and continued approximately another 30' with a solid drain pipe where it reached  "daylight".  They back filled the area excavated with 2" minus drain rock.  All construction materials were removed to my satisfaction, the lawn damage was minimal.  On the interior of the Bedroom, they repaired 3 studs.  I removed the sheetrock, installed new R-21 insulation installed replacement sheetrock on the interior wall (I had agreed to do this before hand to keep the cost down a little bit).
This contractor was prompt, punctual, completed the work ahead of schedule, and provided me with a written agreement on scope of work and cost before the work was started.  The also Warranted their materials and workmanship for five years."

"They have contacted me for a quote but I have not yet heard back from them. I am leaning toward contacting a friend to assist me in building it myself as I am concerned that I will not be getting the custom project that I need. If they surprize me and are able to come back with a quote for the project we need, I will most likely hire them for the job."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Nikiski, AK

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.
