"Contracted Kurt Becker at Monkâ s to do a small repair and repaint of my foundation, mostly to cover pipes and fasteners from a Generac generator installation. As was done on a previous job, this was finished exactly as I expected; on time, on budget, zero hassle. Would recommend to anyone."

"I am the proud home owner of this attic renovation. The attic feels even better in person. Honestly I was going to DIY the attic renovation, but I'm glad that I didn't. The Powers team were incredible. The thing I liked the most about working with them was the transparency from start to finish. Always clear upfront communication about costs and the plans. Also there was a willingness to be a creative problem solver to give us the best. I'm really glad I chose the Powers team. Looking forward to working with them again in the future. Sincerely Ronald Catucci"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Rutherford, NJ

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.
