"I called multiple roofing vendors. Most would companies could not be bothered with considering doing a small job. While Walter Brown did not do the original install of my roof, but they definitely did not hesitate to offer to help. From Alicia who answered the phone to Tyler and Lisa who helped getting me on the schedule. Lisa, Tyler - thank you. If I need any type roofing services in the future, I will not hesitate to call Walter Brown. Thanks again."

"I had an excellent experience working with Jose and his team on a number of home improvement / repair projects: sink / vanity installation, toilet installation, faucet installation. He was responsive and respectful throughout the whole process and helped provide me with a number of different options to address various issues that came up along the way. His team was professional on the job and and did excellent work on the project. I’d highly recommend his company for home improvement solutions"

"


I called his company to give me an estimate on replacing a front portico and after receiving his estimate and a couple more I realized I needed to put some more money aside. While he was there I asked if he could replaced my 32 year old deck boards and stairs.

I got an estimate for the deck which was more than reasonable and signed the contract.  Within two weeks his crew was at my house and finished the job in one day.  I asked if they could stain the deck and railings and he said it would be no problem. A couple of weeks later my deck was stained and again it was done in a day.  The deck staining was $560 extra but the old deck looks like new.

"I am a senior with a background in construction.  After reviewing many contractors and speaking with some of them, I immediately knew I hit the jackpot when I spoke to Danny.
 
1.  He knew exactly what I needed and wanted done when I first spoke to him.  This entailed the replacement, repair, and installation of the items listed above with attention to quality in materials, prevention of future problems, a fair price, and a commitment to starting and showing up once the job was initiated.  Danny exceeded every expectation in these regards!
2.  I silently knew in advance manufacturers, quality and cost of exterior doors (including the french door), storm doors, door locks and deadbolts, leak-proof door sills for 6 inch exterior walls and a leak-proof barrier on the bottom of the door frames.  Without knowing of my preferences, Danny suggested the identical manufacturers and materials I had in mind.  At this juncture, we met and I hired Danny to perform the work.
3.  I am beyond pleased with the outcome of Danny's effort on this project.  As an example of his integrity, he asked me to trust him in the design and installation of an exterior octagonal window in a bathroom.  My wife and I were literally blown away with a handcrafted symmetrical waterproof tunnel and inside wall frame he created - more akin to an artistic piece than a window.
4. Inside work was always minimally invasive using tarps and soft shoes rather than work boots.  Outside and inside cleanup at the end of each work day was respectfully performed leaving no mess.
I would recommend Danny to anyone requiring any kind of interior or exterior installation, modification, or repair as I have seen firsthand examples of his experience, skills, and personal and business ethics.  In fact, Danny is presently working on costs to replace our roof."

"We just completed renovations to our 24 year old master bathroom in Owings Mill, Maryland. Our experience with Ruxton Design and Build was a positive one from beginning to end.  We were interested in a complete demolition of our existing bathroom and replacement of everything - flooring, walls, fixtures, cabinets, lights, etc.  We obtained three estimates from reputable local companies - one that advertises quite a bit on the local radio, a second from our town that is local and has quite nice Angie's list reviews, and Ruxton Design and Build.  We had not heard of Ruxton Design but were impressed at the consistency and quality of the Angie's list reviews.  Although a bit further from Owings Mills than the other two, we asked them to prepare a bid. As it turns out, the first company does good work but prices were quite high and we didn't see a quality difference in their materials or worksmanship. The second company does beautiful work and may have even been competitive with Ruxton but their attention to us during the bidding phase was quite lacking and their proposal basically a sketch on an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet with some vague specs. 
Ruxton did an amazing job from the bidding process to working through our final punch list.  Frank, Ruxton's owner, was over within a week of our query to make all measurements.  About a week later, we met him in his beautiful business in Sparks, Maryland.  Frank was totally prepared for our visit with full architectual plans and 3D virtual models of his design which we reviewed in his office on a large flat panel TV.   Just seeing how his proposal was going to look was extremely helpful.  His proposal was detailed, included excellent materials.  Within a week of the initial presentation, after going back and forth on design options and details, we were  signed the contract and placed our down payment.  We found the price to be quite fair and everything they installed was top quality.  We were offered start dates of about six weeks from signing (to allow materials, especially the cabinets, to come in) but elected to schedule 12 weeks later in February 2016  so that our kids were back to college when the work started (we don't share the hall bathroom nicely!).  Michele was extremely helpful taking us through the selection process and Nicole in the front office facilitated every step of the planning process.  Their team was extremely organized maintaing a spreadsheet with all selections, details of any price differences from the allowances, etc.  We were able to make most of our selections from their showroom but they were okay if we got any of the materials from outside (for example, we obtained the granite from a local granite distributor that they recommended and hardware from the fantastic Clement True value Hardware Store in Severna Park, Maryland).  The demolition and construction process went quite smoothly.  They parked a dumpster on the side of our house hidden from the street and completed demolition in the first week.  Frank had estimated up to six weeks and the work was completed on time. The site forman, Chris, is a perfectionist and made sure everything was done to the tee and in a few cases, simply redid any work that wasn't just right.  Ruxton makes use of outside contractors for dry wall, electrical and the plumbers and we were very happy with everyone that came into our house.  On the last day of construction we presented our punch list to them.  The following day, Chris was by early to review the punch list, make a run to his suppliers and knocked off the entire list that day.  As you can tell from this glowing review, we are extremely satisfied customers and in spite an occasional hiccup along the way, Frank, Chris and the Ruxton team always got things right and at the end, we are blown away by our new bathroom.  We understand that they don't advertise, mostly word of mouth, which is enough to keep them busy.  Their very nice reviews on Angie's list  are well-deserved.  Every one from Ruxton was always entirely professional and easy to work with.  What better recommendation can I give than to say that when Frank came over for the final walk-through, we had him take a look at our 24 year-old hall bathroom, a smaller scale project, and hope to get that work done in the next several months.

"The company recommended replacing the skylights. We agreed. They finished the work promptly and expertly. One issue arose (nails poked through ceiling), but they handled it without excuse or complaint, realigned the skylight and repaired the holes."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Sykesville, MD

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.
