"They did an absolutely fantastic job. They went above and beyond! They hauled off all the cuttings except some for fire wood. Their cost was reasonable, and it was well worth every penny. They were very nice people, good at what they were doing, and I'd recommend them to anybody."

"They did a good job. They were able to add the flooring last minute, which helped us a great deal. They accomplished everything in one day, but two might have been better, or an earlier start because they were quite rushed and a few small details were missed. Otherwise they did a great job, were courteous and respectful and stayed masked while in our home at all tines."

"Jon's work is as good as it gets! We have a rental property that we're preparing to put on the market. It needed a number of repair and update tasks completed, some small and some not-so-small. Everything from replacing siding to building a set of outside stairs to revamping a tile entryway to simply tightening some loose faucets. Jon has been ready, willing and more than able to meet every one of our requests, and his final work is exceptional. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again, and will be calling on him for the "checklist" at our own home, too."

"They were very professional, courteous and prompt. We are very satisfied with their hard work! Eugene went one step further and put a brand new hand railing on the stairs as we are elderly and it was unsafe. Thank you. We will hire them again."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Yelm, WA

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.
