"I hired Stair Artisan to install a handrail on an existing porch stair entry. The job was done at the price quoted and on time. The worksite was cleaned afterwards. The handrail looks great, was made of metal with baked on paint. I would recommend Stair Artisan"

"FIREPLACE ELECTRICAL INSERT!! We hired Vinc and crew a second time to make the fireplace insert happen. They worked very hard to modify the old brick opening and seal everything up properly. Vinc has great suggestions and ideas! He created us a one of a kind beautiful year round updated look for our home we love & been enjoying for two weeks! We will hire him again!"

"Tim's crew did a great job completing the work on-time and quality workmanship. Charlie was especially helpful with providing information regarding my home, he's very knowledgeable on a variety of topics. I'm a little late getting my review out here the work was completed in February 2018, but I would definitely use this contracting company again."

"They were terrific. They were great. They had offered to replace some carpeting and I don’t normally replace carpeting in rental unit and I usually go back with a more durable type of flooring if it’s not cleaned well or if it’s too stained and they had given me an estimate for another product but they were prompt in communications and did exactly what they said they were going to do and at this time, we just went with the cleaning and they did the best they could with the stains. They were very responsive to questions and very flexible to work with me and getting it done right."

I was having the interior of my house completely redone and suddenly the painter (different company) didn't want to bother with the ornate balusters on the main staircase.  He said the handcarved cutouts made the job too complicated and cost prohibitive and I should just leave them painted the color they were.

A few months earlier, I had purchased an eight hour "Big Deal" package from Michael's Work through Angie's List, so I gave them a call.  Michael came right over to check out the job and brought his worker, Joe.  I asked Joe if he thought he could get very many of the staircase spindles finished in eight hours and he said, "No problem.  What do you want me to do when I finish the stairs?"  Joe proceeded to do an excellent job on the spindles and then tackled the French doors, which contained multiple 100-year old panes of leaded glass. (Another project my painter had refused.)  Joe's painting was perfect and quick; both Joe and Michael were professional, courteous and very pleasant to deal with.  The prep work and cleanup were both A+.  Bottom line, I wish I had hired Michael's Work to paint my whole house, top to bottom.  Next time I will!



(NOTE TO EDITOR:  I submitted this review through a link that came to my email, but since I do not see it registered in "My Reviews," I am duplicating it.  I want to make sure Michael's Work receives full credit for their excellent efforts.)


NOTE TO EDITOR:  THIS BELONGS IN THE CATEGORY OF PAINTING, NOT GUTTER CLEANING!!!!  I CAN'T FIND THE PLACE TO CHANGE THE CATEGORY!!!!!

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Sainte Genevieve, 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.
