"Mack and his crew did an exceptional job on my screened porch build. We had an existing deck that he built a roof for and also screened the upper and lower deck area. I would not hesitate to hire them again, In fact I have already reached out to them again for some interior work. They also did a job for my parents and did a great job as well. To sum up my experience they were on time, had good communication, delivered quality work, and had fair pricing. "

"Horrible customer service. I called the installation manager, John Lawless, whose phone number I had after I contracted with Champion for my window replacement project. John informed me that he had not worked for Champion for about 6 months and then he told me where he was working and how they manufacture great quality windows for an affordable price. I wanted to speak with John after receiving multiple postcards from Champion that my windows were already in process and then I got another card that they were 6 to 8 weeks from completion. I was ecstatic because I thought they would take much longer. I called Champion and Jasmine, service support specialist, told me that they were NOT 6 to 8 weeks from completion. I asked who my installation manager was and she told me Lee. I asked for his full name and number and she told me she could not give that information out to me and he would eventually contact me. I asked to speak to a manager and she told me that my installation manager would contact me in 48 hours. I asked to speak to corporate management and she refused. I then asked for the CEO and she told me his name was Todd but refused to give a full name (although google would identify any corporate officer) or email address. I am disgusted with the customer service that I am receiving and the mixed and bungled messaging about my window replacement project. I chose Champion, in part, because of great customer service and I feel blindsided and sold a bunch of bologna. I would NEVER recommend Champion to any of my friends or neighbors based upon this experience. Unhappy customer, Natalie"

"Jose and his wife, Sandra, (J&S) were very kind and easy to work with! They were accurate on their material list (very little waste) and fair in their prices! They brought several workers with them the first today of the drywall install and they worked steadily until all was hung that day. (A full garage ceiling and walls and upstairs garage apartment drywall for certain requested ceiling areas.). After that Jose spent several days with a helper getting all the taping, mudding and sanding done; then finished with priming upstairs as requested and priming and painting downstairs. He made sure we were satisfied in every way at a fair price! Thank you, Jose and Sandra and your crew!"

Yes—if the railing is still structurally sound, you can leave it in place. Start by tightening any loose fasteners and repairing minor damage, then sand, paint, or refinish the surface for a fresh look. Updating instead of replacing keeps costs down, shortens the project timeline, and still lets you meet local building-code standards. Just be sure the handrail feels solid before you commit to cosmetic upgrades.
Reusing spindles is a smart, budget-friendly move as long as they’re in good shape. Tell your contractor up front so they can remove and store the pieces safely. Once the new railing is in, sand and repaint or stain the spindles to match. Keeping the originals cuts material costs, reduces waste, and preserves a cohesive look—just make sure each spindle still meets local code for strength and spacing.
Building codes follow the 4-inch sphere rule, so balusters need to sit no more than 4 inches apart—about three per linear foot. That spacing keeps a 4-inch object from passing through, protecting kids and pets and keeping the railing up to code. Always double-check local requirements before you start, but using the 4-inch guideline will keep you in the safe zone.
Local building codes require that handrails be installed on stairways with four or more risers, ensuring safety and strong support. Even on stairs with fewer than four steps, handrails are strongly recommended for added durability and secure accessibility. Homeowners must consult local regulations to verify that handrail design, height, and placement conform exactly to official safety standards.
To determine the correct handrail measurements, measure the complete nosing line along the top of your steps and then mark a point between 34 and 38 inches above the floor for proper placement. This measurement ensures that your handrail is securely positioned, meets building code requirements, and provides optimal support and safety along the entire length of the staircase.
