"They did a fantastic job. Very clear with communicated details and price, plus gave some great suggestions especially if they felt like another option would look better. We originally hired them to change our stair railings and ended up helping us with hanging/fixing closet doors as well as finished our stairs going to the basement too. On time every morning and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend them!"

"Dave was very accommodating and genial. He showed up when he said he would. We had our railings powder coated (which he subs out), so the timing was somewhat out of his hands, but all was done in a timely manner. Most importantly, the railings are beautiful!"

"We hired Brandon to tear down and rebuild our existing deck and screen it in. We also had him cover up our front stairs with composite decking over the concrete. His attention to detail and craftsmanship was excellent. He put in long days to complete the projects on time and correctly. All passed city inspections without issues. He was easy to work with and worked with us even as we made last minute changes. We are so impressed with his work that we are bringing him back in the Spring to replace and repair our front door. Don't pass him up!"

"In addition to the installation of a light, they also installed a medicine cabinet. Both needed some additional work- installation of a junction box and hole needed in a plastered wall; filling in of extra space around medicine cabinet rough opening. They also replaced some wood trim around a large tool shed. Job came out great. They were professional and conscientious to take care within my home. Tom and Mike did a very nice job."

"Very quick to respond to posting and came next day for estimate. This was a small repair job on fascia and flashing which they handled at time of estimate for a reasonable price, especially considering the minimum fees that bigger contractors charge -- if you can even get the bigger guys to come out. Contractor (Eric) seemed knowledgeable and was polite and professional. Would hire again."

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can often replace just the handrail if your existing balusters are in good condition and securely installed. This approach can save time and money, especially if the balusters already meet current building codes. However, make sure that the new handrail is compatible in size and shape and that you can securely fasten it to the existing baluster layout without compromising stability or safety.

Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from flying debris, especially when cutting or drilling. Work gloves are also essential for gripping tools and handling sharp or splintered materials. If you’re working on a second-story deck or near an edge, consider wearing a safety harness. Hearing protection is a smart choice when using power tools, and steel-toe boots can prevent injuries from dropped materials.

Key signs that a railing or staircase needs replacement relate to instability, visible damage, and component failure. Check for any wobbling, creaking, or looseness when you apply weight. Visually inspect for cracks, splits, and damaged or missing balusters or spindles. For exterior deck railings, also look for specific signs of weather damage like visible rot, warping, and rusted hardware. Additionally, any railing that is outdated and does not meet current building codes should be replaced to ensure safety and prevent falls.

Building a new staircase can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the design, materials, and whether an old one needs to be demolished. Straight staircases are quicker to build than curved or spiral staircases, which require more intricate design and precise measurements.

Premade or stock staircases are a common choice because of their affordability and easy install. These structures cost between $1,000 and $2,000 depending on materials, size, and design. 

Custom staircases are more costly—between $5,000 and $10,000 or more—but are great for unique spaces and main staircases that beg for a grand focal point. When opting for a custom staircase, plan to work with your contractor on design blueprints and project timelines.
