"I’m a 70 year old Senior. I had sagging at the end of my hall, in my 3-BR ranch home. I got five other quotes, none of which suggests a problem with my foyer or kitchen. They sent out some 20 something young man -that clearly did not know what he was doing to complete my main beam replacement project. I mentioned to David (the 20 something) and his assistant IMMEDIATELY, that my kitchen cabinets had pulled away from the wall and the foyer was tilting. Several times. He assured me that he would run the beam right up under the kitchen between the kitchen and the foyer, to the garage door —to correct it! I had an intense disagreement with him when he tried to leave and did not make any attempt to correct the damage. The damage they had caused. I used my burial money to correct this sagging in the hall-and they left me with a huge problem with my foyer and kitchen that WASN’T THERE BEFORE, that they caused, & knew they caused. Indiana foundation, now Groundworks, sent Blake to my house under the guise of completing my first adjustment to the main beam, and as I had instructed them, to formulate their repair project based on a certified Home Inspection Specialist that I had hired to let me know what, specifically, Ind Found. should do to correct the serious problem they created. They promised to schedule the repair work at that time, but have ghosted to me ever since coming to see the damage they caused and formulate the repair. I have not been able to get in contact with them since; I’ve left numerous v-mails and texts. They have no integrity towards my project and nor will they have ANY integrity towards yours."

A Versa lift attic lift is the safest way to get your seasonal decorations and valuables into and out of the attic. Having a garage elevator from Versalift will make putting your stuff away quick and convenient; giving you the ultimate attic storage room you always wanted. Not only is it easy to install but a Versa Lift attic is the best place to store your keepsakes, keeping them close. The Versalift is easy to install for any Handyman or contractor. You can also add the Versarail attic safety rail to your current attic ladder to make going into and out of the attic safer and easier.

"I received an elevator kit and assembled it myself. The instructions were OUTSTANDING! Clear, concise, comprehensive. Hired someone to cut the hole in the garage attic floor and installed it myself."

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

While they sound similar, handrails and guardrails serve different purposes. A handrail is the part of the railing you grip for balance and support while walking up or down stairs. A guardrail, on the other hand, is a safety barrier designed to prevent falls from elevated platforms such as balconies, decks, or stair landings. A single rail system may serve both functions in some staircases, but code requirements can differ for each.

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.

Most building codes require that stair railing balusters should be spaced no more than 4 inches apart. Also known as the "4-inch sphere rule," that distance is large enough for a 4-inch sphere to pass through. To do this, pros will often place three balusters per foot of stair railing.

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.

Building codes for spiral staircases will vary by your location. Most local codes will specify minimum tread width, riser height, handrail requirements, and headroom. These standards help ensure safety and accessibility for all users. Always check local codes before you begin the installation to ensure compliance and avoid costly modifications or fines.
