"Exemplary! Jason delivered based on his recommendations and suggestions for our damaged fence and deck. During a bad storm, a large tree fell on our wooden fence and deck. I found good reviews online about Jason Mechler of Golden Rule and hired him. He explained the scope of work for rebuilding and repairing our damaged property. He and his crew worked hard and we are pleased with the result. I am convinced Golden Rule contractors are the best in Nashville because of Jason's attitude, character and work ethic. His knowledge, professionalism and respectfulness set him apart from several other contractors that bid on this job. His price was competitive for the work that had to be done. If you want the job done right, hire Jason Mechler of Golden Rule. His expertise on fence and deck building and repair is valuable to homeowners who are met with the hard work and challenges of home maintenance and repair. He is undoubtedly one of the best in the Nashville area and in demand."

"James was responsive to my initial inquiry, was on-time for the quote, answered a number of questions for me and provided a quote quickly. We had an older roof which had a small leak but was ready for replacement after losing a number of shingles over the years. James was upfront about his roofing time frame, which was not unreasonable and was able to work with me on a re-schedule when a conflict arose for me. The roof was just installed so I did not comment on the quality aspect of it but I was entirely impressed by the whole process. The roofing crew arrived early, worked steadily and did a very good job of clean-up after the process. They remained after dark to finish the clean-up. The entire process went smoothly and this is what I hope for when hiring a contractor. The roof looks beautiful, too."

"They took a very difficult job of cutting through concrete block, concrete fill and rebar to install a ventilation fan in my basement. Originally they thought it was simply a concrete block, but did not complain when they discovered the block was filled. The agreed to work on a Sunday afternoon, Arrived on time and did a thoroughly professional job. The fee was more than fair and I highly recommend them and will certainly use them in the future!!

"The crew was patient and focused on protecting the items I needed moved. They are not in a hurry, which was important to me due to the nature of the furniture being moved (family heirlooms). I would recommend Honesty & Fidelity Transportation."

"The price was great, they completed the job in just 2 days, the paint job looks wonderful! But they left quite a big mess all around the house, including paint chips in all our beds, and a large smudge of paint on the brick. We also found a wire that had been either pulled loose or cut. Thankfully, it didn't do anything. But no one told us about this. Would maybe use again but be very explicit about cleaning up and a final inspection."

"I am very happy I found Affordable to work on our home. All of the staff is very polite, prompt and hard workers. Our carpet looks great that they were able to lay for us with short notice. They are finishing up being here for 3 days while working on our older home- it looks amazing! They have painted, touched up drywall issues, fixed ceilings and replaced trim.
I highly recommend Affordable for any of your home needs- they are a great crew and definitely know what they are doing.  I plan on using them for other projects in the near future."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Old Hickory, TN

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.
