"Brett has replaced the attic stairs and new door to attic, installed banister, installed shower bar, installed all new blinds in home, shelving units in basement, custom dining room cabinet install, and has put together projects in our home. I started with one thing and was highly impressed of the quality of his work and the price of the estimates and Brett gives good sound advice and will accommodate to our schedule. You can fully trust Brett in your home when completing projects and Brett will explain the needs of your project and has contacts that he trusts for good quality of the products needed. I am looking forward to a basement remodeling and deck work. I continue to call him and does a great cleanup and you will be completely satisfied. Brett will fully explain all details. Highest satisfied review for our family needs."

"I had two cracked floor joists that needed to be sistered. Brandon answered my Angi request quickly and was very easy to communicate with via phone and text. We set a date for the work and he was prompt, polite, and helpful. He finished the work earlier than expected. Work was done well. Price was very competitive. Will definitely be reaching back out to him with other work!"

"We needed new railings on our stairway. A small job really. Dave came to give us an estimate on Friday, got the wood and stained and coated them that day at his place. The next mooring he and Lionel (both great guys) came back, installed the new railings, cutting them to exact size, fixed the ends, and we were done. Great job and tremendous service."

"I hired Ray & his crew to clean up my deck & paint/stain my deck. The lower level a big drop off as there was a pool there. I asked Ray to add railings & a gate to the deck prior to doing the initial job. They did a amazing job quickly & thoroughly!! I couldn't be happier. I would 100 % open to hiring Ray & his team again!! Excellent guy as communication was very clear & fair :) Thanks!! Karen Drew from Hilton, Ny"

"Project was well timed and progressed seamlessly through various stages - demolition, framing, installation, finish carpentry and painting so that we lacked access to the second floor for only 1 night. Planning including multiple house calls for precise measurements to maximize dimensions, selecting style options and consulting with lumberyard for stair dimensions and details. The crew was experienced, took pride in their work, and did not skimp on quality or details, independent of time."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Pittsford, 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.
