"Beaver’s Building and Construction did a wonderful job making repairs to our stair’s railing. Our stairs have a unique contemporary design, and they were able to adhere to that design while making the stairs safe. They were responsive at all times and thoughtful in how they approached the work. We appreciate them working on our home!"

"Hired Beavers Building to fix a creaky, loose spiral staircase and they delivered. They were responsive from the start, showed up on time, and clearly knew what they were doing based on the photos I sent ahead of time. The whole repair was wrapped up in a single day, and they left the space cleaner than they found it. Staircase feels solid now, no more creaking. Would absolutely hire them again."

"Mike and his crew did a very nice job with our condo renovation. He was always easy to work with and accommodated our design requests as well as scheduling. He uses quality sub-contractors, particularly his tile installers and hardwood floor refinishers, both of whom did superior work. We were pleased with the final product and the pricing was reasonable compared to other contractors for the work we needed."

"Prompt communication, accurate estimate and schedule, job well done! This was a smooth process with great communication and attention to detail the whole way through. Kevin came out quickly with his drywall pro to give an estimate, provided a detailed estimate, and was able to adjust the schedule to add in some electrical work that we wanted. They started the job on time and completed it in the window we scheduled. There was a very minor detail that needed looking into after the job was complete and they handled it perfectly the next day. The quality of the work was great -- they tore down and replaced a ceiling. We've worked with other contractors and handyman services for small and big jobs and this company is one we'd definitely work with again (which we can't say about others)."

"I was so excited to finally purchase an outdoor area light for my backyard, but I quickly realized that I was too afraid to climb up the ladder two stories to install it. Fortunately, I came across Ryan Contracting Company online, and I couldn't have been happier with their services. Ryan quickly responded and was excellent at communicating the type of service he could provide. In just 24 hours, the light was installed to my full satisfaction. I highly recommend Ryan for any future contracting needs."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Pocono Lake, PA

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.
