"I recently hired Francisco from JAVS Construction LLC to install baseboards in my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Not only did he do an excellent job with the baseboards, but he also handled some drywall installation for me with the same level of precision and professionalism. From start to finish, Francisco was great to work with—responsive, reliable, and skilled. His attention to detail is evident in his work, and he takes the time to ensure everything looks perfect. On top of that, he’s friendly, easy to communicate with, and keeps the work area clean.

"Our deck was old and in bad shape. It needed a major update. Andrew and his crew did a great job. They were committed from the start to making it special. Even with weather, supply chain and other issues they maintained and created an amazing deck for our family to enjoy. Any changes made during the project were discussed in detail and not performed until agreed upon. Communicating with Andrew was easy. From the quotation process through the installation, I felt we were always on the same page. Andrew was hands on and always answered or returned my calls immediately."

"NorthCrerk Construction-Dave-did a fabulous job on a fence i needed to deal w a problem neighbor and an easement. Dave went to the city unsolicited to get all the info he could on the easement prior to starting to avoid potential future problems. The fence is sturdy and strong and the gate is amazing. Dave also went above and beyond to fix the shoddy work from my last contrractor who put up a fence but only cemented every other post which I hadnt previously noticed. Due to current weather, North creek is still coming back to do the staining. I recommend Dave and NorthCreek construction 100%"

Owner operated. Family business. Over 40 years of combined installation experience. Permits are always provided. Award winning.
"All Fuel saved the day! I took my stovepipe apart to clean it and did not realize that the top flange slips down the pipe. I thought that I had pushed the pipe up through the ceiling support box! Had a roofer out who assessed from topside and told me it looked good up there. I called around to other businesses and they “required” a tier 2 inspection for a cost of $359 and additional charge to come back out. All Fuel had me send photos and advised me that the pipe was fine and that I just needed to pull the end of the pipe upward to reconnect! Free of charge! They are reputable and honest and empathetic. I will use them for ANY AND ALL NEEDS! You can trust them. Thank you All Fuel!! Customer service 10 Star"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Portland, OR
A standard outdoor handrail installation takes an average of eight hours for a professional to complete a five to 10-foot section. This includes time for proper measurement, securing mounting hardware, and ensuring the railing is level and stable.
More complex installations involving multiple sections or challenging mounting surfaces may require additional time. Weather conditions can also affect the timeline, particularly for installations requiring concrete work or certain adhesives that need specific temperatures to cure properly.
Aluminum offers the best combination of weather resistance and value for outdoor handrails. Unlike wood, it won't rot, warp, or require regular sealing, and unlike steel or iron, it naturally resists rust without special coatings. Vinyl and composite materials also perform well in various weather conditions, but may not provide the same structural strength as metal options.
For coastal areas with salt exposure or regions with extreme temperature fluctuations, powder-coated aluminum provides excellent durability with minimal maintenance requirements.
Most localities require building permits for outdoor handrail installations, especially for front entrances or elevated decks. Permit costs range from $20 to $30, though requirements vary significantly by location. Building codes specify requirements for handrail height (36 to 42 inches), spacing between balusters (less than four inches), and load-bearing capacity.
Checking with your local building department before beginning installation helps ensure your project will meet all safety requirements and avoid potential fines or required modifications later.
Building codes often require handrails for any elevated surface that rises more than 30 inches above ground level. Additionally, many local regulations mandate railings for staircases with multiple steps, particularly in areas accessible to the public.
Even if your steps don't meet the minimum height requirement for mandatory railings, adding handrails significantly improves safety for all users, especially during inclement weather or at night. A local building inspector or contractor can evaluate your specific situation and advise on both code requirements and safety recommendations.
