Marco Polo Home Builder has been building homes & doing renovations all over Massachusetts with a great combination of skills-building knowledge, craftsmanship, and professional project management. Over the years, we understood that construction is about wood, bricks, and family. We take our job thoughtfully because we know that a home is the most sanctified place for a person. We value our clients' needs and work with our crew and subcontractors to prioritize them. We aim to make your dream project a reality and hope to be on this journey with you.

"I want to sincerely thank and highly recommend Marco Polo home Builder! While I was selling my house, the buyer’s inspector believed the attic needed repairs. One company quoted me a staggering $15,000. Thankfully, I had a general contractor from MP home Builder come take a look. He spent a lot of time carefully inspecting the attic and determined that it actually met all the requirements — there was only a small issue that needed to be fixed. They only charged $600! From $15,000 to $600 — that’s not just a price difference, it’s a clear example of honesty, integrity, and professionalism. MP home Builder doesn't lie or exaggerate just to make money. They are genuine, responsible, and truly care about doing the right thing. In today's world, a company like this is incredibly rare. What’s more, MP home Builder also does HVAC, furnace, electrical, and other types of work, and their prices are much more reasonable than other companies I’ve dealt with. If you're looking for a company that is honest, detail-oriented, fair in pricing, and trustworthy, this company is absolutely the one to hire!"

Wood stairs and railings installations and replacements FAQs

A standard outdoor handrail installation takes an average of eight hours for a professional to complete a five to 10-foot section. This includes time for proper measurement, securing mounting hardware, and ensuring the railing is level and stable. 

More complex installations involving multiple sections or challenging mounting surfaces may require additional time. Weather conditions can also affect the timeline, particularly for installations requiring concrete work or certain adhesives that need specific temperatures to cure properly.

Aluminum offers the best combination of weather resistance and value for outdoor handrails. Unlike wood, it won't rot, warp, or require regular sealing, and unlike steel or iron, it naturally resists rust without special coatings. Vinyl and composite materials also perform well in various weather conditions, but may not provide the same structural strength as metal options. 

For coastal areas with salt exposure or regions with extreme temperature fluctuations, powder-coated aluminum provides excellent durability with minimal maintenance requirements.

Most localities require building permits for outdoor handrail installations, especially for front entrances or elevated decks. Permit costs range from $20 to $30, though requirements vary significantly by location. Building codes specify requirements for handrail height (36 to 42 inches), spacing between balusters (less than four inches), and load-bearing capacity. 

Checking with your local building department before beginning installation helps ensure your project will meet all safety requirements and avoid potential fines or required modifications later.

Building codes often require handrails for any elevated surface that rises more than 30 inches above ground level. Additionally, many local regulations mandate railings for staircases with multiple steps, particularly in areas accessible to the public. 

Even if your steps don't meet the minimum height requirement for mandatory railings, adding handrails significantly improves safety for all users, especially during inclement weather or at night. A local building inspector or contractor can evaluate your specific situation and advise on both code requirements and safety recommendations.
