"From the very start, We were sincerely impressed with Kiefer-Randall's level of professionalism as compaired to others that we interviewed. We had a slow start due to weather conditions but when things got going the process was relatively smooth. When there was a question or concern it was answered or delt with prompty. We were never left in the dark not knowing what was happening. Towards the end of our projects we had a one man crew and I was pleased that they had sent Kevin to do the finish work. He was always in contact with us and making sure we liked his ideas and plans for the little things that made a big difference. For example the ending edge of our deck hand rail wasn't left as a straight cut. He cut it in a 3 sided (half hexigon) shape that just made it more appealing. This is just one example of his detail work, there were many others. We had a Great expereince and would not think twice about requesting Tim and Jim of Kiefer-Randall to do other projects that we have forthcoming."

"Jack tore down and replaced my aging front porch. He rebuilt the entire porch below the roof and did a fantastic job. The house is over 100 years old and the porch fits the style of the home.perfectly but it is done in modern materials. He was easy to work.with and listened to my ideas and concerns. I get compliments on it regularly from neighbors and others passing by. He has also done work on my antique front door and installed 2 storm doors. Highly recommend him."

"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."

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.
