"Mark did an excellent job. He cares about his work and wants to make sure you are satisfied. While providing and estimate he took note of a gutter that needed to be replaced and gave me an excellent price. I asked about a chimney cap and he came back to do that as well. I was more than pleased with the services provided and would definitely hire again!"

"The experience was more than perfect. We had called several local companies and none of them would do the work that we needed for under 11,000 dollars. I explained the issue that we were having to a friend of mine
and he mentioned that he recently had some work done by a company out of Kentucky so I checked them out.  I went to A-1 Roofing's web-site and filled out the "Free Estimate" form.  The very next day I got a call from the owner himself. He spent over two hours talking on the phone with us an exchanging emails with pictures of the damage. Even after the trip fee, Bill quoted us a price several thousand dollars less than the competition. I have to admit, at first I was a little skeptical because of
the distance involved but after speaking with the owner on the phone I was very confident and happy with his proposal so we scheduled the job for two weeks out. Bill said he was due for a vacation anyway, so coming out to Florida to do a job for us wouldn't be a problem.
On the day the jobwas to begin, he and his crew showed up on time as if their office was right down the street! They hadn't even started the job yet and I was already blown away! He explained that even though we sent a lot of pictures to him that it
would be difficult to nail down an exact price until he had a chance to physically inspect the damage. This was understandable but after a brief investigation he came to the determination that the original quote would be valid. Work began the next day. He and his men worked at an impressive pace. There was always something being done. Any time we went to check on them they were all hard at work. Bill took the time to explain what he was doing and why he was doing it even when we didn?t
ask. When we DID ask him questions he always had an answer and was very detailed in his explanation. This guy is a true expert in his field!
I'm sure they took breaks at some point but I didn't see any! 6 days into the job they had the original roof completely removed. By the end of the estimated two week period the new roof had been constructed and a day before it was supposed to be done they were putting in the finishing nails. Even though the job was finished and we were totally satisfied he and his crew used the last day to give us a tour of the work that they did and to clean up any remaining mess that was caused by
the construction. My house looks great now and there are no more leaks! We are extremely happy with the end result and will definitely use Bill's company in the future and recommend them to all of our friends.

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