"James possesses a knack for design as well as keen attention to detail. His pricing is competitive and often below what comparable services offer. I was well-pleased with his work. It turned out beautiful! In addition, he did a backsplash with arabesque style tile, put up a stove hood, installed a shiplap wall and redid framing around windows and doors, plus additional framing."

"Coming from an engineering and construction family, Out of the Ordinary Construction exceeded our expectations. Credible outfit with incredible results! Their work is the best I have seen both with ?behind the wall? repairs and in with ?front of the wall? installation and aesthetics. Out of the Ordinary Construction is not like other contractors that often use a ?one size fits all? approach. They have a genuine passion for solving construction problems and delivering custom high quality results. They arrive on site when they say they will, treat your property with respect, and communicate well so there are no surprises. John is collaborative, transparent, and knowledgeable in many disciplines of construction. John and his crew took the time to explain the job and options for repair in detail allowing me to make a informed choices based on cost and timing. I am so glad that I hired Out of the Ordinary Construction to repair the damage from a wax ring failure."

"True Trimwork went above and beyond my expectations to make my dream railings come to life! Larry was friendly, professional and very obviously experienced. He also completed the work in a timely manner. He did an absolutely beautiful job on our home (2 separate sets of railings)."

"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."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in York, PA

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.
