"I recently hired Rob to build a deck at my familys shore house, He is amazing to work with. He took the extra time and explained all the pros and cons of all materiel both new and old. The deck he and his gang built came out not only amazing but extremely extraordinary. We have been given many compliments on our new deck but really Tob should receive all the credit. 10 star service. I would recommend anyone looking to have some work done to give Sun in a call Thanks Rob Wyatt and Stella"

We always respond quickly to your requests, always price fairly, and the work performed is of the highest caliber. We use the best in materials as well. We specialize in interior trim work and fine woodworking. Most customers, through no fault of their own, don't realize that there are two ways to join to pieces of wood. There's the first way where you do it the fastest way possible and hope it looks good one year from now, or the second way where you take your time and treat each joint as a piece of fine woodworking craftsmanship that will last as long as the wood itself. I approach all of my work as in the second approach and have never regretted it. Thank you for the chance to serve you.

"Ive been using LHI for some time now and they never fail to deliver high quality projects. With their help, I have flipped several houses now. This last one located in Wayne, they have gutted fully for me. They installed and finished off all the drywall, remodelled a kitchen and two bathrooms and painted. The only other company i had to call was for the roof and siding making the process and collaboration on this projext a breeze. I recomend them to anyone looking to remodel their home or for help with flipping one."

"We had a great experience with Path Hardwood floors. Not only did they provide an affordable quote but they took care of everything we needed and did an excellent job on our flooring. They were much more flexible than other companies in terms of working with our schedule and needs. Allen was very pleasant throughout the project. Highly recommend!"

"Very well. The salesman was very professional; not pushy and didn't sell his company by putting other companies down. The installer was on time, courteous, professional and completed the work neatly and quickly."

"It all went well. They are always accommodating. In middle of the project or at the end of project, if there was anything that I wanted to change, regardless of the reasons, he would re-do it or make changes accordingly until we are happy with the results. They are very skillful. One example, they came to the rescue of the bad quality decorative columns that we ordered from a Canadian company, elitetrimworks.com. The bad quality panels were thrown out by us and replaced with real wood panels crafted by them. The end result was fantastic. Very happy with the results."

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