Customers say: Terrific value

"Arnaldo and his crew did an awesome job on fixing a bouncy floors, sheetrocking, removing/fixing odd and shoddily done things that were done by the previous owner that made the floorplan unworkable,laying new floors and making our house beautiful! He was honest with quoting the work that had to be done and was very responsive and timely. Was courteous and cleaned up after every days work and did a good job in a reasonable amount of time. I would definitely hire him again if we need work done in the future."

"A soft wall due to improperly installed gutter by some other entity or homeowner caused water to constantly leak into the wall from the exterior roofline. This soft wall grow moldy and become riddled with pests/bugs. The contractor identified the potential issues, agreed to explore and open the walls and discuss the conditions, made sound recommendations for repair and did exactly what was noted in the repair (replaced a load bearing exterior wall, fixed the sill plate, completed the roof, shingles etc. and closed up the walls on the inside with insulation and sheet rock.). The work was timely, well done, the workers were clean as they did the job and kept the rest of the property clean. The manager of the job David Apel was and is an excellent communicator with phone/email/text and photos of processes and progress. I am going to use this company in my own investment endeavors on other properties and projects given the level of finished work, the timing and especially the level of detailed communication."

"Very well! Sam did the estimate and the installation. He was pleasant, courteous and obviously took a lot of pride in his workmanship. He installed a new, pressure-treated 6-by-8-foot frame for the door as well as tracks and all the mechanicals. The steel door isn't of the best quality (I bought the cheapest one they had), which isn't Sam's fault. I did have a problem with the lock after the installation and Sam returned and fixed it promptly."

"It was very easy working with DBS General Service. They came out to look over the project and gave me an estimate that night. I was informed when they were coming to paint. After they left I noticed a few small spots that I wasnâ  t happy with. I called the next day to let them know and they came back to fix the problem. They were very professional and I would hire them again for any other projects I have."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Oakville, CT

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.
