"Ricardo and his team did an amazing job installing baseboards along our stairs. Ricardo came out quickly to do the quote and was able to come to do the job a few days after. They did an outstanding job! We couldn’t be happier with the quality and we will definitely be using RGB again in the future."

"They charge $30 per person per hour, and there are typically two gentlemen performing the services. They are great problem solvers; they will figure out a creative way to get any job done.  For example, we have a water stain on some wood and instead of replacing all of the wood, they creatively came up with a base wood option to completely conceal the water stain.  They are very smart men, they show up on time, and they do thorough work. We've trusted them to do several things for our home and we have not been disappointed. It is kind of like having a 2nd and 3rd husband, and they never complain about the tasks they are given!  What I really appreciate about them is they're super trustworthy and dedicated to customer satisfaction.  They may be a little more expensive than some other service providers, but in my opinion they are well worth it!"

"On time, professional, easy to deal with and brought what he needed to do the job. Happy with his work and will use him again. Needed to get work done for close of escrow and he accommodated us in a busy schedule. He cares about pleasing the customer for sure. All work is now done so he was a huge help."

They pointed out several issues I didn't know I had.  That's invaluable.  They followed up with a respectful and understandable declination to do the job.  They also provided recommendations of more local service providers who are permitted to perform the work.

"Troy was on time to look at job. Spent time going over what he could do to help remodel a bathroom. He explained only the part of the job he could do and I would need to hire others to complete the total work being done such as a plumber and tile person. I was moving a shower, making it bigger, having it tiled and then a cabinet made for the old shower area. He had ideas about what to do and it made sense to us.
He was prompt and on time for meeting. He was a real nice guy and was coming from Carson to do the job in Reno.
Our main concern was that after this original visit, I got one call that he was busy and could not get the estimate done in a timely matter and that he would do it the following week.
I never got an estimate or even another phone call. It has been 3 months with no contact and I hired another person to do the job.
A phone call would have been better than nothing. By waiting for his call and no response to email it delayed my job by months.

"In November of 2023, John Maierhof worked on installing two doors on my outdoor shed, as part of a two-man team. John was the team leader. His work was very well done, started on time, completed within the time frame given, and at the price quoted. I can truthfully recommend him for his work."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Reno, NV

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.
