"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."

"Two months ago I was looking for a company to help me with my flooring project and I wanted to find someone who could do it as soon as possible. Bayside Builders came as promised and gave me a great price for what I was asking them to do, which is install laminate wood floors throughout my house. The quality of service that this company provides is top notch and their craftsmanship is very impressive. If you want to work with a company that is professional and has great customer service, this is the one to call."

"Leo was very helpful and quick to respond. We’re happy with how our 2 bathrooms turned out. Project was completed within the time promised. Our only complaint is that the workers did not clean up very well. But overall, we’re satisfied and we’ll use them again."

"It was a pleasure to work with Ariel and GMD Builder. They responded to our request and scheduled a site visit promptly. We needed a quote and recommendations for installing a metal railing for a ~60' long curved staircase from our back door to the garden and pool area above. GMD gave us several options for both function and aesthetics. They were great in listening to our thoughts and coming to a good solution. They were flexible, reliable, and honest. We would use them again."

Stair Companies questions, answered by experts

The time required for wood stair and railing repairs can range from a few hours to several days. The exact duration depends on the complexity, scope, and severity of the damage. Simple fixes, such as replacing nails, are quick, while more extensive structural repairs may take 1-3 days or longer to complete.

The four-inch ball rule, also known as the four-inch sphere rule, is a safety requirement for railings on structures like decks and stairways. It states that a four-inch sphere should not be able to pass through any gap in the railing system. This applies to the spaces between balusters or spindles, as well as the gap between the bottom rail and the deck surface. The purpose of this rule is to prevent small children and pets from accidentally squeezing or slipping through the railing.

Yes, you can often replace just the handrail if your existing balusters are in good condition and securely installed. This approach can save time and money, especially if the balusters already meet current building codes. However, make sure that the new handrail is compatible in size and shape and that you can securely fasten it to the existing baluster layout without compromising stability or safety.

The cost to refinish stairs ranges from $3,000 to $8,000, or $400 per step. But the price depends on whether you do the work yourself or hire a professional, and the scope of your project. It will cost considerably more to have a pro refinish an entire staircase, including the treads and railings, than it will to refinish just the railings yourself.

Building exterior porch steps requires wood or material that can handle exposure to the outdoor elements. Use pressure-treated lumber for the stringers and pressure-treated cedar, outdoor-rated wood, or composite decking material for the rest of the structure.
