"Not good! Initial appt went well. Lots of ideas and suggestions by the two reps. They rendered artwork on the spot to ensure that their product would match our existing rails. But it went down hill from there. They did warn us that products may be difficult to get in the current climate. We anticipated that. But there was no follow-thru. Weeks went by with no word. We had to frequently call the office with no response. When we did hear, we were told it would be more weeks before installation. We initiated all of the communication., Nor /Cal did not call us to keep us apprised of the progress of the project. When the product was finally installed it looked good and did match the existing iron work. But the progress of the process was horrible. It took over two months from inception to completion for a very small job. If you are not in a hurry, I guess it would be worth it."

"Moses and his crew came out and replaced some porch railings that had rotted away. The work was beautifully done and the railings are very sturdy. I am very happy with the work. Definitely worth the price."

"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!"

"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."

Install Stair Railings FAQs, answered by experts

Generally 1-2 weeks, depending on project complexity and material availability.

Yes, adding railing to a deck is a great way to improve safety and your home’s aesthetic appeal. Railings can be constructed from wood, metal, or composite, and there are plenty of choices regarding design and style. Always consult local building codes before starting any building project—there are often requirements regarding spacing and height that can differ slightly from place to place.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

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.

The maximum measurement between stair stringers is typically 18 inches on-center. However, the International Building Code only requires that a staircase can resist a live load of 40 pounds per square foot in residential construction.
