"We got three estimates from three different painting companies to paint our house. Prior painters had not prepped the house adequately, and so there was lots of peeling paint, on top of layers and layers of old paint. In addition, there were some rotted sills on a couple of windows that needed to be replaced before they could be painted. Our estimate appointment was at 8 am and Tom Lopotosky showed up right on time. The three estimates we received from the three painting contractors were all in the same $12,000.00 ballpark. We decided to go with LOPCO for two reasons: The first was that LOPCO has their own construction contractors that would be able to do the repair work (One painting company told me I would have to find my own carpenter to do the woodwork. No thank you.) The second reason was that LOPCO was the only one that offered a FIVE year warranty on their work. They also offered a selection of payment options, and offer the free services of a color-consultant, Susanne.
We signed the contract with Tom that stated that the work would start no later than June 8th, 2015 and be finished no later than June 26th. Well, the actual work didn't start until June 22nd. I understand, however, that outdoor painting is very weather-dependent, so you need to be flexible in the time-table you chose.
Also, the first step was power-washing the house. The fellow who did the washing did not cover my hydrangea bushes, and the solution (a mild cleaning solution) burned some of the leaves and blossoms. I would have preferred that he cover them, or warned me that the solution might burn tender plants so that I could have covered them. The good news is, the bushes have fully recovered.
Having said that,I have nothing but THE HIGHEST PRAISE for the team that prepped and painted the house. Mike (the job-site manager), Aster, Miguel, and Mark (the door specialist), plus the carpenters who were called in to replace additional rotted molding and trim that was discovered later in the process (The added work was an additional $3000 expense. Tom DID warn us that it may happen, particularly in an older house such as ours.), were ALL friendly, courteous, and took great pride in their work.
They began by doing a very thorough scraping of the house, and once they determined that the paint was not lead based, they also sanded and feathered the edges so there were no "islands" where the new paint went over the old paint. They used two different types of primer on the part of the house that gets the most exposure to the elements. They then primed the rest of the house and completed the painting. We changed the color of the body of the house to a beautiful dark gray, left the trim white, then added black shutters and glossy red doors. The painters had to be very precise and particular when they were painting the trim.
The house looks gorgeous, and we receive lots of compliments from our neighbors. I encourage anyone who is looking for a house painter, especially someone who has an older home, to hire LOPCO. They will not be disappointed.

"Barn Rescue – My barn was hit by a vehicle, which broke a large post and pushed section of siding out from under the roofline, plus major damage at ground level. Brad shored it up for the winter with an array of jacks and an enormous chain to ensure the thing wouldn’t fall down till they could return in the spring. Come spring, they fully replaced the damaged section’s support members and facade, and added bracing to the attic, rendering it stronger than before. Foundation support: The sagging beams and jerry-rigged support columns in the dirt basement of our 18th century house were inadequate. They dug and poured a dozen footings and lally columns, supporting a line of new 6x6 and 9x9 beams that provide solid support to the house above. They showed up promptly every day, worked fast, and left the site clean and finished. Both Brad and Chad have a deep knowledge about old houses and the techniques that were used, and I felt my historic register property was in good hands."

"The clapboard on my house is the original wood from when the house was built in 1925. So you can imagine the sanding and prep work that needed to go into the project. The paint job looks incredible The results as well as the pricing exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend JMC Painting Company. Very honest, clean and reliable. Very happy with the work and I am now using JMC for interior paint projects"

"Kfgconcrete is an excellent company that strives to fully satisfy. This was the only company that truly listened to my desires and made sure to explain all possible options. Kevin was patient with all my questions (and I had a ton of them)! The end was everything and more than I was hoping for. While it was not the cheapest pricewise, the cost was worth it in the end, and you get what you pay for. You made my family very happy and proud of our walkway. Thank you!‎"

"We recently had a complete roof replacement. Before proceeding, we did comprehensive research of area companies and Vista came out on top, with good reason! All appointments were not only on time but were extremely punctual. We met first with Product Specialist Holly, who was enthusiastic, very knowledgeable and helpful. While at our home assessing the proposed job, Project manager Rick explained the entire process in layman's terms. The day of the job, Project Supervisor Marc arrived early and went over the entire job with the crew. All company representatives left us with a business card with their cell #'s to call if we required anything. The installation crew was amazing. They arrived early and began immediately. They were no nonsense, very focused and, worked like a well oiled machine. All Vista team members were polite and respectful of my special request to be cognizant around some of my more cherished trees & shrubs. Vista was fastidious in their care for my home and lawn, not one speck of debris was left behind. Vista, the installation crew, company representatives, everyone, exceeded our expectations. Vista stands behind their work and products. If you wish to relax after a major home improvement project knowing the job was done correctly, you will want to consider Vista. Dan & Kim Belchertown"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Westport, MA

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.
