Ruben's Renovations proudly servicing Roswell and the surrounding areas. Our goal is to complete your project to perfection. We look forward to building long-lasting relationships with the customers that we serve. We look forward to serving you. Call us today! You will not be disappointed.

"This project was our second project with Ruben. It entailed installation of a new walking path to our screen porch and the addition of handrails on each side of the steps to match the handrails on the front of our home. Ruben subcontracted the stone work for the walkway and managed the handrail portion of the project himself. He oversaw the entire process from beginning to end. It was all done in a matter of a few days and the quality was great. We are very pleased with the project and will definitely hire Ruben for future home projects. "

"11/29/24 Spencer comes to my house to look at my Chimney to see if it needed to be swept. Then I asked him about a wood stove. He said yes he does install wood stoves and we agreed. He did state to me that I would have to put $3000 down for him to do the job. I got a receipt via messenger@messaging.squareup.com. 12/7/24 was the date Spencer agreed to come and install the stove. He called me earlier that week stating he needed to change my date due to his wife needing some time away from their infant child. I agreed to change the date of the installation to 12/16/24. 12/16/24, Spencer showed up late and came alone with a 300 pound wood stove, per Spencer. Spencer had told me several times that his father in law was coming to help him, then his dad and he stated his helper was a flake. When Spencer first showed up he made a comment to me how the company he bought the stove from went up in their pricing. He was not very happy. He got the wood stove inserted into the fireplace. I had offered to help but he said no thanks. While Spencer was working on getting the piping connected to the stove and the surround on, his wife and infant child show up to hang out. When the surround was being placed around the stove a measuring tape was not used. He vicariously placed the surround around the stove without fabricating the metal to what it needed to be. He carelessly placed silver screws into black surround. He even removed one screw on one side and now there is a silver hole and a silver screw. He even broke some of the bricks on my fireplace due to not having help or correct tools to do the job. When you look at the surround the two silver screws are in different places, is not level, is not attached to the wall of the fireplace and flaps. When he was here, Spencer stated to me that he would show up on Saturday, 12/21/24, to work more on the surround. I said ok and wrote a check for $2000. Later I realized that I had asked Spencer about a military discount and said he would take $100 off my bill. The total amount agreed upon was $4900 not $5000. I contacted Spencer, he did not respond to me. I get a message from apple saying I had a payment. I checked and it was from Chimney Charmers. I sat on my couch that night and looked at the stove with the light on. The stove is not level and the surround on top is not level. A leveler was not used either. A possibility is that the floor of my fireplace is not flat and I would have thought he would have done something to make the stove flat or something so the stove does not move. When you close the door to the stove it moves inside the fireplace. The stove was not anchored. I was told by someone that Spencer should have made the surround look like it was attached and part of the stove not make it look like dumbos ears flapping in the wind. Here is a response when I made a post on a local page, "Yeah like I said if he had measured and looked at a spec sheet he could have avoided that problem. Additionally he should have used tap-con masonry screws, or at least anchors and screws to adhere it to the brick and then added a high temp sealant around the edges/seams." None of this was done. I am not even sure if he had a permit to place the stove in or if he placed it in correctly. He had told me on his own accord that he would return on Saturday, 12/21/24, to place some kind of wool or something behind the surround and attach the surround to the brick. None of this was done. I also found out later that day that his wife was in my front yard, on my swing, swinging their infant child. I tried to contact Spencer several times via text before he was suppose to show up on Saturday, 12/21/24, per him. Spencer finally texted me back on Friday, 12/20/24, and told me his work was done, done correctly and he would not be returning. I was confused and angry because he offered and told me he would return on Saturday to finish. Spencer only gave me a google receipt for the for the $3000. I have not been given any kind of receipt for the other $2000. I did request via a text and their website a detailed receipt. I have not had a response from Chimney Charmers. I also contacted BBB, they tried to contact Chimney Charmers and they, Chimney Charmers, did not respond to BBB. We had a verbal agreement. I did not know he was untrustworthy. Are there any additional costs related to this service? (Your question) Not yet but I do plan on getting it repaired."

"Sales was excellent, but that’s where it ended. Was told someone would come out for accurate measurements to send to manufacturer. No one ever called. Soon i was charged for the doors to be made but never had official measurements taken and it was like pulling teeth for someone to provide me proof that measurements were taken when no one was home. I was told it happened on 10/31 but I was out of state. So must have broken into my property to do it then? Skip ahead two months, one door shows up to be installed but can’t as it doesn’t fit. Shocking. Three months later all doors arrive for install. First time I touch it the screen falls off my patio door. On the other door the hardware isn’t what I ordered to begin with and there is a dent in the steel paneling. So one of three doors is working out for me. In total, it’s been six months since i signed on the contract and i haven’t so much as received a “hey, we’re sorry this has been awful and we really appreciate your $15,000. How can we make it right?” Instead I have to inquire DAILY with someone from installation scheduling (since this is the only contact I have aside from sales) about when and how management is going to fix it. I went with Champion as for the warranty and quality of work. Never again"

Welcome to Quinn Windows, a family-owned and operated window replacement and home remodeling company founded in 1980 in Atlanta, Georgia. We specialize in complete Window and Door replacement. We'd like to be your next contractor. Your home is likely your biggest investment and you need someone trustworthy and knowledgeable to improve and protect that investment. Over 30 years experience, an excellent rating with the Better Business Bureau and an endless list of references are only a few things that speak for how trustworthy and knowledgeable we are. At Quinn Windows, we put our family name on every project we do. Each job we do reflects on our reputation and we work hard to do the best work we can do to protect that reputation. The philosophy is simple: Quality products, quality work, personalized service, fair prices, and absolutely no gimmicks.

"From the initial sales call with Mike to working out the contract details with Meghan to the installation with Ryan and Mack, I was consistently impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail of Quinn Windows. Not once did I second guess my decision to go with them. The sales presentation was very low pressure, making sure all my questions were answered and giving me time to evaluate the information and make my decision. I put my deposit down in mid-July and the windows were installed 8/25 which I felt was an excellent turnaround compared with what some of my neighbors have experienced with other companies. The installation team, Ryan and Mack, were great. They worked ten plus hours in my un-air-conditioned house on one of the hottest days this summer and took the time to get every detail right and then cleaned up everything before they left. I am recommending Quinn Windows to all my neighbors!"

Owner operated. Our own employees are used for installations. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charge.

"MWT Windows provided an exceptional experience from start to finish! Their professionalism was evident at every stage of the process—from the initial consultation to measuring, scheduling, and installation. Every team member I interacted with was courteous, knowledgeable, and highly professional. The window installation itself was outstanding. The attention to detail was remarkable, from the quality of the windows to the expert wrapping of the wood and precise sealing of even the smallest cracks. The final result was essentially perfect! I couldn't be happier with the job they did. If you're looking for a company that delivers top-tier service and craftsmanship, I highly recommend MWT Windows. Amazing work! Dennis E."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Powder Springs, GA

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.
