"I had several deck supports that were rotting and Derek replaced these and installed footers as well. He is very honest and did a great job. I will definitely be hiring him again for other projects that I am planning."

"Replaced a wooden deck with PVC decking and extended the deck down a level with a new deck to a swim spa with the same PVC decking and added vinyl railings throughout."

"We can't say enough positive things about this company. Dan is absolutely awesome! We had a leak in our older roof and needed to have the whole roof replaced. Dan came over the day after we contacted him and personally assessed the job. We have a detached garage that also desperately needed a new roof, but we didn't think we'd be able to have that taken care of at this point. Dan worked with us, and made it happen! His workers were also terrific. They worked hard and completed the job within a couple days. Dan's ethics and the quality of the work done by him and his employees is a rare find in today's world. We couldn't be happier! Highest recommendation."

"We got a lot of estimates for our roofing job before deciding to go with Dante and his company. Dante went above and beyond with our project. He also sealed our RV roof as well. We would recommend Dante his company to anybody. It was a pleasure dealing with him."

"Went very well. Robert was very quick to respond to my initial email, he called right away to schedule a time to come look at the project.   Very often I feel as though when contractors come to give a quote they make me feel like I've put them out and that the work will be a challenge.  Robert didn't make me feel that way at all, he was very confident he could do the job.   He was available to work with my very tight schedule and came the next day to do the work.  He followed up with a phone call to make sure I was satisfied with everything.  Great service and would highly recommend.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Owego, NY

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.
