"Andrii completely redid our downstairs interior moulding, trim, and door framing. He did fantastic work, finishing on time, and the agreed upon budget. He was communicative every step of the process, and even went above and beyond to help procure material for the project on short notice, when it did not work logistically for me to do so. I plan to hire him again when I di my upstairs, and highly recommend him to anyone that needs a great carpenter."

Customers say: Quick response

"Scott is so detailed, talented, professional, and cleans up after himself. His work is an art. Our railings were custom, different than any others we have seen, clean horizontal lines (no welding can be seen), and absolutely BEAUTIFUL. FLAWLESS! It turned out better than we expected. We're remodeling our entire house and we have many contractors enter our home and have envied his craftsmanship and even asked for his name and number. One of the contractor does railings too and he said that this is the most beautiful railings he has ever seen. He even took pictures of it. We truly recommend him. He's very honest and great to work with. We actually have other projects in mind for him. He's a one-man show so he can get booked up pretty fast. But worth the wait if you can."

"I can highly recommend J Plus Construction after the excellent work they did in transforming my wildly overgrown grass into a beautifully trimmed lawn surrounding my house. Two men worked tirelessly for approximately two hours and did everything I needed to be done with care and attention to my requests. I highly recommend this company. "

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Mount Vernon, WA

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.
