"We were well satisfied with the representative of the company, the product and especially the quote. It was our intention to do business with Premier Medical, but unfortunately, our well pump surprised us by needing to be replaced. It is our intention to revisit the installation of the ramp with Premier Medical in the spring of 2020."

"RAM CONSTRUCTION does not do laminating flooring, only wood so he was unable to give an estimate . However, recommended another business who came to our home and will be giving us an estimate shortly. RAM Construction did not leave us hanging with no options, gave us the name of someone else. We found Rodney to be very professional with us. He will be giving us an estimate for gaps around our front door."

"Jim and his crew were wonderful to work with, very respectful and very hard working. I can not say enough, all great, on Jim and his crew. We had more repairs than anticipated but Jim worked late to get everything done and was always cheerful even though I know those extra repairs put him behind schedule. The repairs were beautiful. My house looks awesome and I look forward to having Jim, Josh and crew back again for our next project! I recommend this young man and happy to see one of our veterans employed in our local community."

"TJ and his team are consummate professionals! We traveled to him from out of town and they took the time to meet with us and our NYSDOT Engineer at our newly acquired property mid afternoon on a Friday. He then worked with us remotely to get the job done! We are thrilled with the work they did and look forward to working with him again in the future."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Rome, NY

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.
