"I had old wrought iron fence panels replaced for some more modern looking fence panels to change the look of my home. The work was done in a timely manner and the fit and finish was spot on. The staff was responsive to my design ideas and the installation went smoothly. They were not the cheapest estimate, nor the highest price, but the quality of work is on par with many premium fabricators."

"James was exceptionally professional and polite and did an outstanding job on the rails that he installed in my house with both the backyard and the front. He’s a perfectionist and I will hire him and re-hire him over and over and recommend him over and over. Very humble and a very soulful human being. I give him 10 stars not five. Thank you, James for the wonderful professional job. :)"

Stair Companies FAQs, answered by experts

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.

In most cases, carpeting isn’t kind to the wood that it’s attached to. Most carpet installation uses adhesive or nailing strips, both of which will damage wood. Conversely, you can choose to use an adhesive designed to be removed from wood, in which case carpeting can actually protect your hardwood stairs.

Building codes include several requirements that deal with the height, extension, and placement of staircase handrails. If your staircase is wider than 44 inches, for instance, you must install handrails on each side. If narrower than that, choose the side option that provides the most secure support structure for the handrail. 

You can refinish stairs without standing by using chemical strippers, buffing with a power buffer, or covering with a different finish. While these are all viable options, choosing high-grit (smooth) sandpaper and working carefully will be the best way to prepare the stairs for refinishing. Power sanders can be purchased at low prices and can save hours of sanding work.

While they sound similar, handrails and guardrails serve different purposes. A handrail is the part of the railing you grip for balance and support while walking up or down stairs. A guardrail, on the other hand, is a safety barrier designed to prevent falls from elevated platforms such as balconies, decks, or stair landings. A single rail system may serve both functions in some staircases, but code requirements can differ for each.
