"We had a complicated stairway to our basement that lacked a hand rail, which we felt was unsafe. We hired Juan from Decor Iron Works to design a handrail for the space. He produced a creative design, and quickly fabricated the railing, had it anodized with an attractive bronze coating, and installed it. The entire process was efficient and the work was high quality. The cost was somewhat higher than we had anticipated, but for custom work it was worth the expense, and as said, the quality was excellent."

"Greg is very responsive and prompt, both in giving an estimate and answering emails. The powder coated iron railings are exactly what we wanted and needed. The railings were manufactured and installed with care and attention to detail. We're very happy with this company and plan to hire them again in the spring for another railing."

"We found McCormick home builders through Angie’s list. They were not one of our original contacts, but they contacted us and came out to give us a quote. Matteo was extremely helpful, informative, honest, and gave us reasonable realistic prices, and did not try to inflate the prices or pressure us in anyway. We felt very comfortable with him immediately. We felt like he was a member of the family that we could just talk to and ask questions he was very personable. He gave us his contact number in case we had other questions and he was always available when we needed him for any type of questions or concerns. Mateo‘s team did a beautiful job. They were fast. They were efficient. They cleaned up beautifully. They did a wonderful job. They were very considerate of our time our needs and our neighbors. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Matteo from McCormick home builders for any home building projects, and we will be calling him again in the future!"

"PGM are rock solid. Punctual, accurate, and tidy. Patrick and team gave exceptional value for money and exceeded expectations in every aspect of this job. A common element between two separate properties, PGM repaired/replaced elements of our three story common stairwell with attention to safety, Recology Sunset, and the needs of tenants. A general contractor, PGM will be at the top of our list for other projects. Highly recommended!"

Install Stair Railings 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.

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. 

Spiral staircases can be installed outdoors using weather-resistant materials, such as galvanized steel, aluminum, or treated wood. Outdoor installations may require additional coatings or finishes to prevent rust and decay, and costs may be higher due to site prep and exposure to the elements. Outdoor staircases must also comply with local building codes, which can affect the dimensions, handrail requirements, and load capacities to guarantee safety in all weather conditions.

You can install stair railings on concrete steps, but the process requires special tools and fasteners. You’ll need a hammer drill, masonry bits, and concrete anchors to ensure a secure fit. Start by marketing your bracket locations and drilling pilot holes, then use concrete screws or expansion anchors to attach the mounting hardware.

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.
