"Excellent, no problems. My car was new the first year I used the service and there has never been any damage during the transports. The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

"Be aware!- He overcharged us for materials and at the end of the job tried to charged us extra money for work done under the original contract or for repairs to damaged areas caused by his workers. We went to BBB arbitration and won the case against him and he got his BBB accreditation suspended. See below the decision of the BBB arbitrator in her own words: ***In review of the testimony from both parties and the evidence presented, the decision for this arbitration is as follows: Award: Consumer seeks a refund of $2,460 for overpayment of materials Concerns regarding the difference in the amounts should have been discussed and resolved prior to the final payment being remitted. Costs of materials as charged by a retailer to a business may or may not include discounts. Receipts obtained from the consumer from the retailers who sold Mr. Rinaldi of Dash Construction materials for the contracted job (brick/stone and windows) varies in amount from what Was actually charged to customer. Careful review of the testimony and evidence presented during the hearing was the compelling evidence of numerous examples of concerns with the credibility of Mr. Rinaldi with regards to providing transparent estimates, billing, and invoicing for materials and labor. As such, the intent of credibility and character of Mr. Rinaldi results in the decision to award the consumer's request for a refund in the amount of $2,460. Denial: Business seeks payment for additional work totaling $3,230 The existence of a contract may or may not involve revisions. Verbal conversations are enforceable When requirements of a contract are present. The payment in the amount of $66,288.00 for work Contracted was paid in full by the consumer. After final payment for the work contracted was received, Mr. Rinaldi invoiced the consumer for additional work completed. Outstanding payments for work done within the scope of the project should have been brought to the attention, discussed, and resolved prior to the final payment being requested and final payment being accepted. In addition, Mr. Rinaldi signed a waiver of lien for the consumer's mortgage holder, implying no additional charges were outstanding. The evidence and testimony provided by Mr. Rinaldi was not compelling to award $3,230 to include the Witness statements presented as evidence which lacked credibility.***"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Portland, TX

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.
