Family owned and operated since 1994. Nine Brothers & Sisters Striving For Your Complete Satisfaction! Energy Efficient, Replacement Windows and Doors. No Subcontractors! No High-pressure Sales! Ranked Among The Top Nationwide by Qualified Remodelers! AAMA Certified and Members of the Better Business Bureau. Quality Craftsmanship. Lifetime Warranties. Additional phone number - (800)672-3777.

"We interviewed 3 companies before Brothers. All of whom were less than satisfactory. They did not ask us questions, did not bring samples, gave complicated answers to our questions and did not confirm that we understood. There were at least 2 or more qualities that put us off. The first unique quality about Brothers is that the salesperson took off his shoes. I know it is trivial but is was at least symbolic. While he was relatively inexperienced, it reassured us that he was able to call someone at the company for answers. It was also reassuring that almost all of the managers/owners are related. We figured that is a family can be that unified to grow a business, they must be doing something right. Oh, he brought samples. Their installation team was personable and diligent. The even had 50's/60's music playing. Tarps went down for every window they worked, they vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned up outside when done. We could not afford to replace the sliding glass doors but we will be using the Brothers team when we are ready to do so. We would recommend them highly as a quality company."

Wood stairs and railings installations and replacements FAQs

A standard outdoor handrail installation takes an average of eight hours for a professional to complete a five to 10-foot section. This includes time for proper measurement, securing mounting hardware, and ensuring the railing is level and stable. 

More complex installations involving multiple sections or challenging mounting surfaces may require additional time. Weather conditions can also affect the timeline, particularly for installations requiring concrete work or certain adhesives that need specific temperatures to cure properly.

Aluminum offers the best combination of weather resistance and value for outdoor handrails. Unlike wood, it won't rot, warp, or require regular sealing, and unlike steel or iron, it naturally resists rust without special coatings. Vinyl and composite materials also perform well in various weather conditions, but may not provide the same structural strength as metal options. 

For coastal areas with salt exposure or regions with extreme temperature fluctuations, powder-coated aluminum provides excellent durability with minimal maintenance requirements.

Most localities require building permits for outdoor handrail installations, especially for front entrances or elevated decks. Permit costs range from $20 to $30, though requirements vary significantly by location. Building codes specify requirements for handrail height (36 to 42 inches), spacing between balusters (less than four inches), and load-bearing capacity. 

Checking with your local building department before beginning installation helps ensure your project will meet all safety requirements and avoid potential fines or required modifications later.

Building codes often require handrails for any elevated surface that rises more than 30 inches above ground level. Additionally, many local regulations mandate railings for staircases with multiple steps, particularly in areas accessible to the public. 

Even if your steps don't meet the minimum height requirement for mandatory railings, adding handrails significantly improves safety for all users, especially during inclement weather or at night. A local building inspector or contractor can evaluate your specific situation and advise on both code requirements and safety recommendations.
