"We had a couple leaky faucets and some loose electrical fixtures wanted a handyman to come take a look. Dakota was great to talk to, giving us an idea of what it would take to fix our plumbing issues and quickly fixing our electrical issues. He charged a very reasonable price ($30), considering that he was at our house for an hour or so"

"Miljan was absolutely amazing. Showed up on time and his communication was great. He got to work on the honey do list ive had for my husband for the past 5 years or so and finished in roughly 6 hours. His pricing was extremely fair. He was careful to not damage my home while working and carrying supplies and materials and he cleaning up during and after his work. I'm extremely happy with his work and will be hiring him for all future work I need done around my home vs. nag my husband and wait for years. Trust me ladies, much more efficient and cost effective to hire Miljan!"

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

Several signs suggest it’s time to replace your stair railing. Look for wobbling or looseness whenever you put any weight on it. Of course, visible cracks, splits, rust, or corrosion often indicate it’s time for a change. Missing or damaged balusters should be replaced, as should any outdated designs that don’t meet current building codes.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

It’s important to note that compromised deck railings create risks for falls. Signs that you need to replace your deck railings include unsteady railings, visibly rotting railings, cracks, warping, and rusted hardware. If you address issues like missing or broken spindles right away, you can likely make DIY deck repairs.

Because a railing for concrete stairs is a safety feature, some locations require a permit to do the work, even for a residential setting. Check with your local building inspector to see if you need a permit. In most locations, the residential railing height code requires the handrail to be 34 to 38 inches off the ground. If you buy a concrete stair railing kit, the manufacturer almost certainly will ensure it fits this height requirement.

If you don’t want to use carpet as a covering for your stairs, you have several alternatives. A few popular choices include hardwood, laminate, and rubber flooring.
