"They communicated what they were going to do, asked clarifying questions when needed, and proceeded with the job as requested. The stairs look AWESOME! I wish we would have got them done years ago. We get complements on them all the time. Thank you Jim and Russ!"

"This is very talented professional. I gave him a picture of what kind of railing I would like for my front steps. He produced a beautiful design installed them and they look beautiful. Thank you Vince I’m so glad I called you. I would recommend him highly. He is honest and considerate and very reasonable. I paid $1800 for this set of rails and well worth it for the quality that he produces."

"I needed a deck repair and was dealing with someone else who led me on for a month with only one estimate...done one way. They would not do what I wanted (less repair). Howard at Lane Home Improvement called me to tell me he usually did not do the work I was wanting but came by to give me pointers, answer questions and tell me what he thought needed done even though he knew he probably would not be taking the job. I mean.....who does that?? Howard was so nice and easy to work with and fit me in before another big job he had lined up. I hired him just because he is so nice and then hoped for the best. I could not be more happy with the job. Plus.....he got started right away and worked with my budget. I would recommend him to anyone."

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

Choosing between staining or painting stairs depends on your desired look and the condition of the wood. Staining enhances the natural wood grain and is more durable for high-traffic areas, making it ideal for high-quality wood and a traditional finish. Painting offers more color flexibility and a modern appearance, which is great for lower-quality wood or matching specific décor, but it can chip and require more maintenance.

Vinyl is generally considered to be the best option for homeowners seeking railings that are both durable and affordable. Vinyl provides protection against the mold and rot that can develop within wood railings. Composite is another budget-friendly option. However, people building high-end decks often prefer the look of glass panels or metal rails.

While local building codes vary, a handrail is typically required for stairways with three or four or more risers (steps). For staircases with fewer steps, such as two or three, a handrail may not be legally required. However, it is always best to check your local building codes to confirm the specific requirements in your area. Even if not mandated by code, some homeowners install handrails for comfort, insurance purposes, or if someone in the home has mobility challenges.

Wood and metal are the two most common materials used. Breaking it down further, homeowners tend to use a slightly higher grade of wood than they might elsewhere—it isn’t uncommon to see maple, mahogany, redwood, and other luxury woods used. Metal tends to be aluminum or steel due to the fact that you don’t need very protective metal, as the material isn’t being subjected to any weather.

Annually, to check for structural stability, surface wear, and secure fittings.
