"I highly recommend this company Heartland Village General Contracting Handyman Services of Staten Island, N.Y. Harvey the owner & his excellent team were professional, punctual & attentative to every detail in building my beautiful handicap TREX brown boards & Grey metal railings ramp to my front door. This fantastic company also closed in my screen house for the rain & possibly snow cold winter months with this beautiful design of Plexiglass. His team also completed odd jobs of installing two door bells, replaced damaged tiles in my kitchen & installed tinting sheets on four kitchen windows which I love. Thank you Harvey & your professional team of excellence. Sue M. - Staten Island 9/12/25"

"Ricardo called the next day and he met with me as agreed. His bid was the most fair for a Great room, dining room, 3 bedrooms, 11 stairs, foyer and entertainment room. He also agreed to do the job as requested over a two week period. He helped us move heavy furniture which not many would do. He and his crew were very nice. The floors came out Great! Thanks"

"We contracted twice with Lincambri Painting recently for interior painting in preparation for putting our home on the market. The first time was to paint our kitchen, family room, and stairway/foyer/upper landing combo. A short time later they came out to paint our living room and master bedroom. Each case involved wallpaper removal as well as painting the walls, ceiling and trim. Howard, the owner, was very professional and personable throughout the process, and offered helpful suggestions in terms of finish type and where removal of the old wallpaper made sense in terms of our resale objectives. Quotes for both jobs were complete and provided quickly. On both occasions Howard's team arrived on time and fully prepared. They did a very good job of wall prep and painting, and completed the work expeditiously and without undue disruption for my wife or myself. They cleaned up and replaced the furniture as expected. Both times Howard and his son were present and assisted to make sure our painting needs (color, finish, hole repairs) and furniture movement/protection and replacement were done right. For the second visit, Howard agreed to replace and repaint a section of the stairwell drywall when it became evident after the first paint job that the pre-existing drywall condition resulted in some visible waves. He did that for a nominal additional charge. My wife and I were very happy with the work Lincambri Painting did for us and would definitely recommend them. In fact, we plan to have them back to do some exterior work when the weather warms up a bit."

"I would give a B+ overall grade, but Angie's doesn't offer that. I want to first level set what I think an A is and why it's a B+. I would give an A if everything went perfectly based on my initial expectation. B is they met most of my expectation, and the ones that weren't met, are probably not end of the world issues. C is they just got the bare-bones job done and can check off the checkbox to say they were done. Anything below that is a failure. First, I would start with the sales process. Although they claim they are a no pressure sales org, I would say that is probably technically correct, although not entirely true. The sales guys were nice enough, but you def got a sales vibe from them where they were trying to make the sale (maybe I'm just naturally sensitive to sales ppl). They were responsive to any follow up question I had on the SOW. They provided estimates on when the work would start and end, which I didn't believe since this is not my first time to the dance. Their head construction guy (Paul) came over a few days later to measure out my place, and this guy was fantastic. You could tell he knew what he was talking about and knew what he was doing. I asked about start date, and he let me know the original one was not gonna happen. I'm glad I asked him; however, in my opinion someone should have notified me about this instead of me having to pull this information out of them. Either way I had already set my own expectation, so even though I was annoyed, it wasn't any deal breaker. Just note that whatever estimate you get will probably not be *exactly* right (things happen, but unfortunately in this modern day and age that is an unfortunately reality with all contractors in all industries). Once they started work, Tylor was my Project Manager, and he was also a great guy to work with. He was able to give me the info that I needed, without boring me with all the nitty gritty details. He had people onsite pretty much every day (this was around the holiday season, so I understood people had vacation). The work spanned demoing my kitchen, installing appliances, floors, baseboards, bathroom shower, tiles, vanity install, medicine cabinet install, plumbing, electrical (the guy was even able to snake an additional line from my circuit box to my kitchen), painting, coordinating with my building super & staff (I live in a coop building so there are things like water shut-offs that need to be managed). Overall, everything was great. The few things I think could have been better (and I think this is really mostly feedback to Paragon): 1) Shower floor does not fully slope down to the drain, there is a local minimum in which water sits in and I have to manually push it to the drain. Really annoying after each shower. 2) The shower door is not as level as it should be. 3) I don't think my flooring should have been installed under my kitchen cabinets. After discussing this point with others after the fact, the floors expand and contract with humidity, so they have no room to "breathe" and may cause stress else where. 4) I specified in the contract that electrical outlets should have been installed to NEC spec (i.e. the ground plug on top). They were not :/. With all that said, I would totally recommend Paragon and would use their services again myself. I waited a full year to write the review so as to give their work some time to settle in, and it has done so just fine."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in South-brunswick, NJ

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.
