"by David & Miyoko
Ethos Kitchen & Bath LLC epitomizes
Aristotle qualities of an ethical person - good sense, good moral
character and goodwill.  Company founder David Gurwell
used these attributes in focusing on our needs in delivering a job well done and
at a very reasonable price.  We were always first consulted before purchase of
materials regarding 
best choices in price and quality.  Our newly finished
tile bath is worthy of royalty and has, no doubt, greatly
enriched the value of our home.  Both David and his Manager,
son Ben, demand quality of their "crafted artisans"
and each delivers.  All were honest, reliable, polite, clean and thoughtful. 
Thank you Angie's List!  We highly recommend this
company - they'll be our first choice in any future renovation.

"It was nice to have a honest person doing work on my home. He was fast to come out and bid the job, and said that he would come out the next day to fix it. He bet his arrival time and got started right away. After the job was completed he checked his work and picked up the work site. This guy will answer all your question and does great work at a fair price. You will not be disappointed."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Saint Joseph, 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.
