"They helped us with various parts of finishing our basement. From installing exhaust fans and shower/bath tub in the basement bathroom to putting in with to improve our HVAC system down there and a several other jobs (insulation work, preparing our kitchen for basement appliances, helping us with various touch-ups to get ready for drywall, they have been great to work with. They were super flexible when our shower/bath tub took several tries due to problems with damage during shipping from where we ordered them sand when we had a delay due to a death in the family (thank you for the flowers btw) And they were very patient answering our questions and making recommendations. Everything they've done for us has been great, and we look forward to continue working with them as we move forward with this and future projects."

"Jerry and his wife answered my call right away regarding a quote and were out to our house the next day. Once we decided to move forward with them, they were able to schedule the project promptly. Jerry and his team looked at several brickyards to find matching bricks to fill in the foundation hole and, while they couldn't find the exact one (it had been discontinued), the one that they ended up using matches very well and my husband and I are very happy with the final result. Jerry's team also did a good job on the side steps and were able to make the railing completely sturdy, which was my primary concern."

"I called Handyman Pros needing several projects done, big and small. Don came out in a reasonable time frame and we went over all work. He gave me a reasonable price for each project. I couldn’t be happier with his work. And Don cleaned up as if he was never here. I will not hesitate to call Handyman Pros for any future work. Thank you Don !!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Richmond, KY

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.
