"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."

"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

Maintenance needs for spiral staircases are similar to those of traditional stairs, but they may require more frequent attention to tight or intricate parts, such as small treads or curved railings. Metal stairs require periodic checks for rust, while wooden stairs require regular sealing or refinishing to maintain their appearance. Prompt attention to minor repairs can help you avoid larger expenses down the road.

Building codes typically require handrails if your porch is 30” or more off the ground. However, it's important to check your local regulations and building codes to make sure, as this can differ depending on your location. When in doubt, check with a local porch handrail pro, who will know the local codes and be able to get permits if any are required.

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.

Stair runners are often easier to install than a standard carpet because the latter must be cut to fit the stairs with extra steps taken to prevent fraying at the edges. Stair runners offer extra decorative options, padding, and traction to reduce the risk of falls. They can also offer a nice way to transition from one flooring type, like cement or epoxy floors to softer carpeting on an upper story of the home.

Railing height codes do not differ for indoor and outdoor structures. Instead, what will have the biggest impact is the type of rail (hand versus guard rail), what your local building codes dictate, and the scope or height of your stairs, deck, or balcony to begin with.
