"We hired RR Residential Remodel and Construction LLC to redo the front of house. I would rehire them in a heartbeat. The construction project ran smoothly. Robin Haller coordinated the project and was easy to work with. I described what I wanted and they created it. Professional, courteous, clean and I knew when they were going to be here. I appreciated Robins ability to get answers when we ran into a problem. Most issues they knew exactly what to do. He was willing to do the research needed for any issue, and exactly where to go to get it. I never worried about cost of materials, labor and time management. Worked at getting the best price for all and returned/material that was not used. We could not be more pleased with the finished result. Cannot wait to remodel the kitchen and more."

"He is wonderful. He gave us suggestions for the projject, which was to make the steps in our garage more manageable. I have trouble going up and down stairs. Justin built the landing with steps and a railing that worked perfectly for me. He supplied the materials and labor at a reasonable price. He is very easy to talk to and doesn't rush his work, but takes the time to do it right. He also built a deck for us previously that was beautiful. We highly recommend Justin for any job you might have.

"The employees with Good Hands Construction, LLC did a fantastic job and will hire them with any other projects that we have. My husband's Man Cave is outstanding. We had painting done in the Dining Room and they built a deck and put in sliding patio glass doors. Will recommend them to anyone needing just about any type of work."

"Needed to replace and repair lots of rotten wood, and peeling paint on the house. looked at several options, and Continental worked hard to earn my business. They made a great sell, and provided financing that worked within my budget. It may have taken a while to get the actual work started (due in part to the COVID pandemic slowing everything down) but they called me every two weeks with an update on my position in line. The house looks fantastic, and I never need to worry about rotten siding again. Would highly recommend."

"Rex was cordial and professional, and Tim, his carpet-layer, was outstanding. Because of the weather, stain had not thorughly dried on the woodwork when the carpet had to be installed. Rex took the time to remove the carpet fibers that were stuck to the trim, and he saved me a lot of time and effort. The guys were wonderful. Thanks. Dan Coborn"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Republic, MO

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.
