"The work was accomplished quickly, quietly and with a craftsmanship which is unexpected in today's market. The look of the stairs is simple, classic and very attractive, and structurally the work is absolutely solid and without a tremble or creaking underfoot. Impossible to imagine how anybody at any price could do better work. Mr. Painter is a master builder who produces exceptional work at a very reasonable price no matter if the job is large or small. We unreservedly recommend him."

"The quality of work is excellent.  Unfortunately, their boss directed his crew to ignore the obvious tilt of this old house, and we had to insist that the top of the closet doors be parallel to the ceiling!  He also got surly when my husband and I insisted that we both see the end result before paying him.  I hope this guy reverts to the personality we saw a couple of years ago and leaves the current one behind.

"We chose Suncrest based on good reviews on Angie's List and a good feeling we had during our initial meetings with John. Their price, while not the lowest, seemed fair and transparent. Now that we are 1 month past completion, we are happy with the final product, but the experience of working with Suncrest was pretty unpleasant and we would never work with them again.
The project was supposed to take 4 months and it took 6 months. I understand that delays happen, but they were almost never communicated to us. The crew just wouldn't show up, often for a week at a time. John (owner) and Bryan (foreman) seemed to have no idea what was going on with the other person, and we had an extremely difficult time getting them to call us back. Bryan rarely communicated our change requests to his crew on the ground, so work would have to be redone, or was delayed further while we worked this out. Suncrest also had bad relationships with many of their sub-contractors. The work done by some of them was sub-par. For example - the new AC unit was poorly installed and flooded the living room floor. It was very hard to get the HVAC sub to fix this, since they wouldn't return John's calls for a week.
Bryan was supposed to be the foreman, but I felt like we had to nit pick every little details or Bryan would do things in an easy, slipshod manner. For example, they would miss areas of trim painting and then request payment for finished the trim portion of the work. Or they would say the kitchen cabinets were finished, when upon closer inspection by us, several of the doors wouldn't close properly. We felt like generally they had poor attention to detail. For example, all of the existing door hinges and door knobs in our house are gold, but without asking, they installed silver hinges in all of the doors, which doesn't match the gold knobs. Not a huge deal, but when you are paying over $100K, you expect that they will think about things like this.
The only positive part of working with them was the price. Overall we came in less than $10K over the estimate, all due to upgrades and additions to the project we request midway through the work. John was very fair about the prices of the change orders and didn't try to take advantage.
So overall we are happy with the final product, although it took a lot of "harassing" John and Bryan to make things right before we would pay them. But terrible communication means that we would never use them again, nor recommend them to any friends.

"Nelson and his team arrived sharply at 7am on the first day to start the demolition and they worked until about 5pm. I was comfortable in giving Nelson a house key so that they could come and go as they needed due to my work schedule. Nelson was very helpful in planning and design. He asked detailed questions and offered suggestions (when needed) that I had not considered. He was prompt in responding to my various emails. His estimate was much lower than a lot of the local competition (I did provide all the main materials and fixtures) and his team did a BEAUTIFUL job on my remodel. I have already gotten many compliments on the tile work in the shower. They covered eveything with plastic and laid a tarp on the carpet when they were working. He tried very hard to keep the mess to a minumum. Nelson made sure that everything was cleaned up after each day (until I told him it was fine to leave it as is since the downstairs was not beng used during the remodel). I can't wait to get the master bathroom done too and I know I will be using Nelson and Pro Builders for any other projects that come up! Nelson takes pride in his work and goes out of his way to try and please the customer. I added and/or changed my mind a couple of times both before and after we started the project. It was one of the least stressful projects I've had done so far. He even went as far as swapping out a light fixture in the adjacent bedroom at no charge. Oh and they ended up starting a week earlier then originally scheduled so my family visiting this month will get to enjoy the new bathroom now. A++"

"Don is extremely polite, knowledgeable, and completed the job in no time. The shutters look fantastic. He washed them and touched up the paint during installation. His price was very reasonable. We will be calling him for our future remodeling projects."

"Of the several quotes we received in response, Eduard's Wood Floors, LLC was the only one that provided a detailed and accurate estimate with materials, labor and removal and disposal fees. Juan (the owner) followed up with an on-site visit to verify dimensions, expectations and to offer advice and recommendations. We had originally thought we would remove and replace our existing wood floors, but after consulting with Juan, we decided to refinish our existing wood flooring at less than half the price and with a custom color and finish. The floors look absolutely amazing, and Eduard's Floors provided service and value beyond compare. Our porcelain tile and wood floor refinishing project was completed within the contracted price (with only minor additional costs based on some unexpected leveling) on-time and at a quality and customer service that are nothing short of remarkable in the Washington metropolitan area. Juan estimated the amount of material needed, ordered the tile stock and picked it up and delivered the material to the job site and there were only three (3) tiles remaining after the installation. The installation staff at Eduard's Wood Floors were courteous, respectful of our neighbors and scheduled work time during the week to minimize noise disturbance in our building. And they arrived ON TIME, EVERY TIME. Eduard's Wood Floors know their business and know how to provide quality service to the highest levels of satisfaction. They are a business with personal and professional service that you can trust in every way; from an honest estimate to planning, organization and quality delivery of service. A+"

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