Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

You have a little flexibility when installing a handrail against a wall. The minimum distance between the two must be at least 1.5 inches, and commercially available handrail bracket hardware accounts for that minimum. The maximum distance a handrail can be from a wall is 4.5 inches, provided it doesn't impede the walking area. 

Most homeowners prefer vinyl plank flooring to cover basement stairs, and this is generally considered the best option because it’s resistant to mold and won’t get damaged by moisture. However, carpeting is a more affordable installation and provides better traction to prevent slipping and falling. If you have kids or pets that will frequent the basement area, a carpet might be a better option to add some extra traction.

The best way to ensure safe stairs is to make sure they’re clean and in good condition. If you want to increase their safety, make sure your railings are in good condition, and if your stairs are wood, make sure the material is taken care of. Many people find carpeted stairs much safer due to the reduced chance of slipping, which we agree with.

Yes, there are specific building codes for cable railings, but they vary by location. Local building authorities and codes dictate the requirements for cable railing systems, including cable spacing, height, and tension. Check with your local authorities and follow these regulations to ensure you comply with safety standards when installing cable railings.

Although dependent on the type and size of lumber, most 2-by-4-by-8-foot pieces of lumber cost anywhere from $3 to $6. Softwood lumber like pine falls on the lower end of the spectrum, while hardwood lumber like oak or walnut falls on the higher end. Different retailers and lumber yards can also vary in price, so it helps to shop around to compare prices.
