"6 years after our original level 4 roof install we started to upgrade the paint scheme of the house. We started to remove the gutters so the fascia could be painted and behold we discovered that Brennan installed the drip edge on top of the felt instead of directly on the roofing plywood! Now we have to get a contractor out here to repair over 200 linear feet of drip edge and roofing before we can paint and rehang the gutters!!"

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.
