"I am so pleased with Mr. Handyman of Richmond. They responded quickly to my message, we set an appointment by phone, and all went well. The serviceman evaluated the doors, brought the needed materials, and installed them professionally. Now our doors close more securely and I see no light coming in below or on the sides. And the value received was outstanding. I would definitely hire them again and highly recommend them to others. Thank you, Mr. Handyman of Richmond."

"Work was great. Just bought a 1972 townhouse that needs some serious updating. Michael installed a ceiling fan and light in rooms with no prior wiring, switched a light out with a new fan, replaced a hall light and added electrical outlets to bathrooms that had no outlets, fixed a minor issue with the garbage disposal, installed 2 new smoke detectors and replaced a couple of outlets. Everything is completed on time and will be hiring again as I have a lot more outlets to replace."

"Wilson did an outstanding work with my 6” tall Wood Grandfather Clock. He restored the cracks on the surface and refinished the wood with true artistic precision. Worth every penny. I highly recommend his work."

"We had the old roof on our 1800 square foot rancher replaced with architectural style shingles.  This included flashing in all the valleys and water/ice seals around the whole perimeter and the chimney.  We had new rubber seals around all the vents and other openings in the roof, and new ridge vents installed.

"The area where Ryan would be doing the mortar work had been scrubbed and pressure washed per Ryan's instructions before his arrival.  The mortar was purchased and waiting as were the "Grab Bars".  The day Ryan came everything seemed to go okay.
The first job was replacing the mortar and securing the wrought iron railing.  The job was messy, Ryan and one assistant worked to replace the missing mortar.  Unfortunately, a lot of the mortar ended up on top of the bricks and not between the bricks.  It looks terrible and the mortar that got between the bricks is, at the time of this review, cracked.  Additionally, the wrought iron railing wobbles as bad as it did before.
However, when installing the "Grab Bars" in the shower, the area around them got scratched.  
It is unfortunate that neither of us knew anything about mortar work, perhaps we may have known not to let just anyone do that job.  But, I did not expect the walls of the shower to get scratches.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Williamsburg, VA

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.
