"I will definitely recommend this company. He came right away and gave us an estimate. When we called to tell him we wanted him to do the job and came promptly and took the measurements that he needed and returned the next morning and completed our job of removing the old gate and installed a brand new one. This gate is amazing!!!! And he came in under his quote because he did not need to use a pair sleeve because there was already one in the post. I highly recommend!!!!!"

"After purchasing an Angie's List Deal, I received the measuring kit in the mail promptly. The template and instructions provided to draw my split table top and each of the leaves were easy to use and understand. I mailed the completed materials and received the table pads very quickly. The table splits in the middle to allow insertion of up to 3 additional leaves. The table also has 2 drop leaves. That's 7 pads. All fit perfectly. I have used them on the table for family parties (not every day) and they're durable and built to last. I keep them in the box they arrived in to protect them when not in use. These are a worthwhile investment."

"Quality contractors who take pride in their work are very hard to find, Especially if they are out-of-state. I live in California and this contractor is located in Illinois. Justin worked on a 3-bedroom, 2 bath rental home I own in Illinois. Justin installed a wrought iron hand railings on the front porch and also repaired cracked concrete. His personality matched his work ethics. Justin was professional and overall, was very easy to communicate with. he took pride in his work. It was truly a job well done. Thanks Justin!"

"Carpet restreched for every room in three bedroom ranch home. The project objective was to remove ripples in the carpets which had developed due to initial poor installation - home builder / carpet dealer would not stand behind their installation. This contractor was very honest and professional - project started and completed on time within cost estimates."

"Amazing to work with. I provided a rough sketch of our idea and he made it happen. Provided updates along the way and stopped and asked us questions if he was unsure about a specific detail while he was in the process of construction. The table he built was Made to last and have not had any issues."

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Spiral staircases can be safe for all ages if designed with features such as code-compliant handrails, non-slip treads, and proper spacing. However, narrow treads and steep angles may pose challenges and a safety hazard for young children or those with mobility issues, so consider safety upgrades or alternative designs if needed.

The standard distance between deck stair stringers is 12 to 16 inches. However, these numbers vary by building material, so reference the maximum span for the material. For example, some composite materials call for a maximum distance of 10 inches to maintain their structural integrity. 

As a general rule, never leave more than 16 inches of space between your stringers. Deck stairs have higher load-bearing demands than the walking surface of the deck, so it’s important not to overshoot the space between your stair stringers.

Always begin by researching your local building codes and, when in doubt, speak with a local staircase company for confirmation. If you're estimating your handrail measurements, find the length of the nosing line of your steps—the horizontal line that touches the top of the tread of your steps. Measure between 34 and 38 inches up the walls for placement. The length of the handrail will then run the length of your nosing line or beyond, depending on local codes.
