"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"

"Gene and his son Ryan remodeled our Master bath. I interviewed many contractors before deciding on Gene and was not disappointed. Gene is the owner and made himself present on the job frequently even though we were not that close to his location. He prides himself on being very responsive to inquiries whenever you have them. He cares about his work and the satisfaction of his customers. This was evident with the way he worked with us during the design and execution. He presented various layouts with suggestions along the way until we were able to finalize our decision. Every job of this type usually runs into a surprise or two. Gene made sure any issues were addressed promptly and to our satisfaction. Another example of how Gene operates is when our new toilet was not flushing properly after first use, he tried to resolve the problem even though it was clearly the toilet and not the way it was installed. Nevertheless, he told me to let him know when the company provided a new toilet so that he can deinstall the old and install the new for us. He did not need to do that. His son Ryan (and Richard I believe) did most of the work. They were both very professional, polite, hard-working, and very clean. There was little to no dust in our bedroom since they made sure to seal the bathroom and utilized a HEPA Filter. They vacuumed every day after their work, never leaving a trace of dirt. He uses top notch contractors for his plumbing, tiling and electric who he has worked with for many years and has a very good relationship with. We are very happy with our bathroom and would definitely recommend Your Way Contractors, and will look to use them for future projects."

"We are completely delighted. Everything went perfectly. Danny, our sales representative, was great at explaining options, and was always available for questions. The expert installers, Andreas and Dmitri, were fun to work with, responsive to our requests, and even installed our new doorbell. I look forward to working with this excellent company again for new windows."

"Our experience with Paragon was generally positive and we'd recommend this contractor without reservation. The business arrangements were clear and Paragon operated with integrity and flexibility. Our crew was competent, respectful of our home, friendly, and took pride in doing careful and quality work. Paragon quickly responded to customer feedback and strived for customer satisfaction throughout the project. The sources recommended by Paragon for wall tile, wood flooring, counter granite, cabinet hardware, and plumbling fixtures all provided superior service and extended contractor pricing. Our remodeled kitchen and powder room are key features of our traditional 1926 house and significantly enhance the home appearance and property value."

"Lenny and his crew (Scott, etc) did a phenomenal job. We had a patio put in and our old stairs, deck removed. We wanted it replaced with TREX. We explained to Lenny what we were looking for and he redesigned it perfectly. They did a great job in no time flat. We are extremely pleased and would recommend them in a heartbeat. Thank You Lenny, Scott, and Freeborne"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Whitehouse, 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.
