"Tyler and Joshua were amazing. They came in with tons of knowledge and experience. They handled all my design changes and questions with patience and understanding. I am so in love with my crown molding, and I've been telling everyone I can how great it is. If you are looking for someone to do your crown molding, look no further. We are going to have them do more rooms in our home. They also did some wood flooring in our master bedroom, and they got it to match the original hardwood flooring from the early 90's. They built a deck staircase in the back so our elderly father could safely go up and down to the backyard. All around, they were quick, hardworking, great work, and more than fair on pricing. They listened to what I wanted and came through each and every time. And concerns I had, they met head-on and took care of. Great guys, and I can't wait to have them come back and do more work for us. They were great around my kids and pets. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone. "

"John came out to install a single window. Other contractors through home advisor came out and wouldn't follow up because the job was too small. John came out, it was easy to set an appointment with him. He arrived on time and ended up giving me a timely quote and honest timeline on when the work could be done since I had a special order window. Once the window arrived he put it in the following day. Great communication. Will recommended!"

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Wichita, KS

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.
