"Gabriel did a professional job on my utility trailer. It needed some repairs along with installation of several accessories. After explaining what I needed done he had some suggestions on some different techniques to overcome some obstacles I had with my ideas. Top notch work and communication. He was on time and his rig if fully capable. I have in in my contacts and will recommend him to anyone that needs some welding done. Dennis"

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

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. 

The most comfortable height depends on you and your household, but most railings are between 32 inches and 40 inches. To be more granular, disability requirements require railing heights to be between 34 inches and 38 inches high. For this reason—and to remain compliant—many people find these heights perfectly acceptable and stay within these ranges.

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 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.

The standard dimensions for a stair's rise (vertical height) and run (tread depth) depend on whether it is in a residential or commercial building. For residential buildings, the International Residential Code (IRC) and International Building Code (IBC) specify a maximum riser height of 7 3/4 inches (with a minimum of 4 inches) and a minimum tread depth of 10 inches. Additionally, the maximum total rise of a staircase should not exceed 12 feet between landings. For fixed stairs in commercial buildings, OSHA requires a rise between 6 and 7.5 inches and a run between 10 and 14 inches. Standards for other types, such as spiral staircases, will differ.
